Today at work there was a 5lb hand weight on the desk next to me. I was on the phone and picked it up and did a few curls. Then I thought...I've lost over 10 of these in weight...wow...really put my accomplishment into perspective. Thought I'd share with y'all.

I seriously have been thinking the same thing. I see the pictures people post here and think wow...but then i look at myself and think dang...when will I start to see a difference. I have some black scrubs in my closet that are no where close to fitting yet. It brings me down...bad. Thanks for your post...at least I don't feel so alone on this.

How much are y'all able to drink? I think I drink to much too fast. I can drink about 8oz in about 45 mins. I'm afraid I might be stretching my pouch...or is this normal? Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

I have...makes me think I must be doing it all wrong. Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

When did you have surgery and how soon after did you eat lettuce? Salads are really one of the few things I really miss. Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

Omg...I'm so happy for you. I can only imagine what you must feel like. Congrats! I hope I can run at least a block when I'm a skinny little thing like you. Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

What is that? The pouch test??? Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

Two weeks for me. I hated it. Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/23

I have thought that as well. But really isn't that the old way of thinking...that we HAVE to eat a certain way, clean our plates...keep the five food groups etc? Remember that our bodies are now wired differently. We keep our calories waaaayyy low so just a bit of veggies is really all we need. Tonight I ate a cup of split pea soup...my pouch loved it and I did feel kinda good with the veggies in my bod while still getting 11 grams of protein.

I'm 8 weeks out today and I've been eating chicken since about 4 weeks out. Its one of the few things I've been able to eat without problems. Preop weight 389 current weight 338 lost to date 51 lbs 148 to goal rny 6/11/23

I'm allowed corn tortillas that aren't fried. I don't eat them usually since two bites fills me up. Bread still gets stuck Preop weight 389 current weight 338 lost to date 51 lbs 148 to goal rny 6/11/23

I sometimes add just a teaspoon of creamy to mine. And my nutritionist gave me some recipes and one called to add it so I figured its ok. Preop weight 389 current weight 338 lost to date 51 lbs 148 to goal rny 6/11/23

Before surgery I would sub plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Adds protein to the dish. I tested with my kids on tacos one night and they couldn't tell the difference,.neither could I. Just thought I'd share this tip. Preop weight 389 current weight 342 lost to date 47 lbs 152 to goal rny 6/11/23
