Hollieberries14 that happened to me too! It will get better. Mental hunger is no joke! You just have to go one day at a time and it will get better. You will be eating "real" food soon. Hang on there!

will do! Thanks

Hi Dorian! Thank you:). Yes is is an awesome feeling. It's still amazes me that the weight is coming off and I am more active than I've ever been. I have been talked into doing a half marathon this upcoming weekend so wish me luck! I'm enjoying this new life!

thanks Trever!

Thanks Janifer! You will be very successful at your weight loss journey too! I attached a picture from a 10k I just finished! It's unreal the things I'm able to do know that I've dropped weight! Good luck to you and thanks again!

Congrats! You look fantastic!

you look fantastic! Congrats!

I included the shakes as part of my fluid intake. My nutritionist said it counted for both. So it's food because of the calories and fluids.

you are going to love it!! Have fun! I did my first 10k last Saturday and doing another one this Saturday. I find once you do one you become addicted. Lol. Enjoy the experience and your accomplishments!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

So excited! I finished my first 10k race today! Today I am 10 months post op and never dreamed I'd be able to finish a 10k! I'm down 108 pounds and feeling amazing! [

Congrats! You look amazing!

So true Catfish! I NEVER thought I would be a runner. I signed up for a couch to 5k program 3 months after I had surgery and ran my fist 5k at 5 months post op! I will be 10 months post op tomorrow and have my first 10k Saturday! It will be my 9th race since my first one in September 2013! Who'd would have known I could run!! I'm still in shock! I've lost 108 pounds and the things I'm am now able to do physically amaze me every day!!

Congrats! You look amazing!

sounds like you are losing at a good rate. What was your starting weight? In regards to your question I have a protein shake for breakfast and eat fruits for snacks twice a day and baked chicken or fish with veges the remaining two meals or I will have another protein shake and one meal a day. I get minimum 48 oz of water but aim for 64oz and no less than 60 grams of protein but typically get 70-100 a day. I work out minimum 4 days a week. I eat around 1200 calories a day.

Thanks so much!
