not big on posting but want to encourage others

Dr said I should lose around 100lbs in 5 months

Lost 100lbs in just under 4 months

Surgery was june 9th at 321lbs , todays weight was 221lbs

Granted todays weight was after my walk and skipping Breakfast and I was "commando"

3month stall was a killer , didn't lose anything for 2 weeks

After the 3month stall ( hits everyone it seems ) I jacked up the Protein and cut out carbs

Lot's of hard boiled eggs and chicken breast

Now don't think I didn't cheat from time to time on my diet

Sometimes after a week of salad I couldn't eat rabbit food anymore and had to have a burger

Wasn't McD's or Burger King , went to the super market and bought lean ground

And I didn't over do it , hey we all deserve a treat , just not over indulging

Funny everyone asks if I feel different and truth is no....not really

To be honest I just don't really feel different

But it is almost time to buy new clothes cause the one's I have now just look funny hanging off me

Hey it worked , just exercise and follow the diet as best you can and you'll see it work for you also

your not the only one

I hate to even tell you all how bad I cheated in the beginning

within the first 10 days I was eating hard boiled eggs and tuna

14 days in I was eating salad and a turkey wrap

I was so worried and still am to some extent

I have never once vomited since the surgery but more than once have overeaten

For me the surgery hasn't removed my appetite

Now I find it's all Portion Control

That and I completely cut sugar out of my diet

No more sugar in my coffee , no more soda , Cookies , ice cream etc

There's still sugar in everything but I'm very conscience of what I'm putting in now

Small meals , really is all I'm able to get down

BUT the good news is the weight has come off , not as fast or as dramatic as I would like

Surgery was June 9th and my weight was 308

3 days shy of 3 months and I'm down to 250

When I say not dramatic I'm a man that looked 9 month pregnant

I had ( and still do ) a HUGE belly

The weight I've lost seems to have mostly come off my rear end

Not really where I needed to lose so much

I have a feeling I'm at that 3 month stall I've read so much about

So don't feel alone or to worried

In my case I was bound to lose weight being the size of meals I can eat and cutting out the sugar
