This-is-my-journey

Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to share my excitement this morning... I hit a stall that lasted 2 weeks... I finally broke out of it and starting dropping weight again.. as of this morning I am down 154lbs!! My first goal was to lose 50lbs then 100 then 150 next is 200.. I'll admit the stall was a drag but man am I ever grateful for this surgery.. I wouldn't have been able to lose this much on my own ever.. I still have ways to go but it's the best feeling ever. Yes I hate the drooping skin but I love not being 465lbs!!! If your feeling bad or hit a stall don't worry so much..it's temporary

Exactly!! Isn't it amazing how such a short surgery can impact your life...and that we have the technology and medical personnel to do it?

Thank you for sharing and congratulations on all of your milestones!

154 lbs lost! That is just so impressive! I agree, without this kind of surgery there is little chance that most of us would ever be able to lose this kind of weight. I feel so lucky to be living at a time when this type of surgery is available.

@@valerie1982 This is wonderful news. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Early on I could only eat max 1/4 cup of food. Around 10 months post-op I could suddenly eat 1/2 cup. Whoa! I doubled my intake. It was scary at first but I realized the importance of eating Protein first always. As @@Bufflehead said, it is easy to eat massive quantities of empty carbs. I have no restriction with chips/crackers so I stay far away from them.

For most people the sleeve does stretch/relax some and you do get some return of hunger. There is no exact date for it though, and it's not like everything completely vanishes! I can eat what I consider "small normal" meals -- 3 ounces of dense Protein and a couple ounces of veggies. That's twice as much as I could eat at, say 6 months out (I am 3+ years out now). I do get a lot hungrier than I did at 6 months, but again, nothing like pre-op, where I often felt out of control with respect to food.< /p>
It really does matter a lot that you adopt good habits and commit to them to life. A year out, most people can eat large quantities of slider foods such as chips and Cookies. And the more you eat, the more you want, and the hungrier you get. So yes, it does get to the point where it takes work. Real work! But continued healthy eating is possible, where before the operation it was not possible (on a long term basis) for me. Good luck!
