I am at 10 months now and have reached what will be my goal weight. I have lost 70 # and feel great! If I lost more I would look bad so I am done. I have had a relatively easy time through this process. I still find myself trying to figure out if I should drink or eat! If you haven't had surgery yet you will find out you can't o th at a meal. Everything that the Dr. told me was true including this. Other things I have learned include: pasta is the devil! I can't digest it. If you really want it, soak it for a day then cook as norrmal. Eat snacks frquently, SMALL snacks. It keeps your energy up. Eat slow and when you feel full, YOU ARE! Don't chug your drinks no matter how thirsty or hot you are. You will suffer for it. I still can't seem to eat saurkraut, it won't digest. If they give you a card to be able to order off the childrens menu at a restaurant, use it! I wasted so much money and so much food before I got up the nerve to use mine. If they don't offer you a card, ask for one. I only had 1 restaurant not let me use it. She said my name wasn't on it so I asked her if she wanted to see my scars! Still didn't work :)I'm still learning to fit into my new boby, but loving it every day and so happy I took the jump.
