letsdothis!!!

About how much weight did you lose each month?. For example the first month I lost 16 pounds but now this month is around only 5 or 6:( did you have a month like that? Any major stalls?

a week and a half for me:)

Thanks guys:) & thank you butterthebean, I should really remember/know this because I gave pcos! Sometimes I forget since I haven't had any symptoms since my surgery:) but I know what you said is very true!

I'm going to have to try these torani syrups everyone keeps talking about

Well I told myself I'd put an update every 20 pounds, which will happen 5 times hopefully so here is number one:) I have lost 20 pounds in a little over a month!!!! WOW WOW WOW! I know that weightloss is going to slow down but im cool with that. My goal is to lose about 12 a month, I think that is reasonable. Surgery was offically 5 1/2 weeks out and it feels like it has been way longer than that. I am down from an 18 to a 16, i am on full foods no problem and I am trying to walk everyday. I really need to start weight training because I do not want saggy arms and i have a feeling I am going to. I know my stomach and boobs are going to sag because they all ready do now...but I can cover that up-but my arms ugh I don't want to keep the bat wings:( Well see how it goes tho! My next goal is only 9 pounds away because that is ONEderland!! Woot woot! I have realized that carbs and the true ENEMY for me! I am only supposed to have 50 carbs MAX a day and one day I ate grits almost all day and realized I had consumed 122g of carbs in one day! Needless to say the next day i had GAINED one pound so word to the wise, don't forget to look at your labels, seriously! Thats my advice for the week:P Hope everyone is doing well!

I was obsessing over Chobani yogurt UNTIL my nut made me read the label more carefully. I was just looking at protein but it has 22 carbs!

I can have grits and oatmeal, we do really vary:P

If you have it, post your SN and make some new friends:) mine is smallcals add me plz!

Welcome! You will love this forum, there are some amazing ppl on here!

I honestly think it depends on the person. I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks after surgery and i would get hungry. People would tell me its probly just stomach acid but no I was hungry; my stomach was growling, I would get the shakes and everything. If I drunk all the protein shakes i was supposed to I wouldn't get hungry but I was just so sick of the shakes. I didn't start feeling the restriction and fullness until I moved to the puree stage, then that's when I knew that there was a change. Now I really do have to remind myself to eat or I won't get my protein in. I am now about a month out.

I was picking up laundry on the floor yesterday n felt like I pulled something on my right side n luckily today was my 2 week check up n he told me that I had a stitch in the muscle right there n that is what is causing the pain. Its not a constant pain its just occasional.

I have a tub of kiwi strawberry and it is beyond nasty to me. I wasted 32$.

I am day 10 post op and I am hungry, tummy growling and all! We went on a two mile walk n by the time we got home I was so hungry. I drank a 8 ounce shake before we left. I ate a 4 ounce pudding cup in like 10 mins which is supposed to take me 30 and I drank some water too. I do not want to drink another protein shake- I have to force them because I am so sick of them, Bleh! Thank God on Tuesday I can have purees! Anywho I don't understand why my little pouch isn't filling up n making me feel full? I am still hungry!

I never thanked everyone for their answes so THANK YOU! And yes I do indeed need a new dentist, they almost kept me from getting my surgery by telling me I had infection that I didn't have!
