  1. Month 2 is in the books! I am 8 weeks out today and weighed in this morning. Down 4lbs for the month. It's not the number I was hoping for, I had a few struggles this month and fell off the wagon a couple of times. I also had to play around with my eating program a bit, but I feel I have figured out what my sleeve needs. Eating 6x a day and limiting the number of calories I eat per meal has been working well.

    Activity-wise, I'm plugging away with my daily walks. My activity tolerance is slowly improving and I'm not as dizzy as I have been, but I'm not trying to push it. I'm still heavy enough to feel small injuries. What I hope is that as I lose more weight the activity will come more easily for me. For now, I learned not to feel guilty or compare myself to others. As long as I am losing I'm doing ok. I also noticed that days I push myself too hard physically my hunger goes crazy. I'd rather take it easy on activity than to eat back all of my progress. 

    Going into month 3, I feel like I have my eating program, activity program, and my food tracking figured out. I just need to stay focused and keep plugging away. I am happy that my weight is down for the month, but I'm hoping for a better loss next month. Let's do this!

      This is great, very motivational. I am at a stall right now and have been beating myself up.....I hate it. But maybe I broke it *fingers crossed*. Keep up the great work, seems like you are getting to know yourself and your limits better every single day. :)

      Thank you. I am trying to focus on the fact that my weight is down for the month. At least it's 4lbs I'm not carrying anymore.

      It's so rough dealing with a stall, but you will get through it. Hang in there!!!

      I look at my loss as "if the number goes down, then it's all good!" So, yeah...good for you to take that 4lbs!! It's good that you're getting everything down now to be on the roll by 3 months. And by then you'll have less weight to carry and it'll get easier to do your activities. So yay!!
