Ok, I held steady over the holiday season. I weighed myself a couple days after Christmas and I had not gained a single pound (that felt like a victory itself). I fell off the exercise wagon but I have stayed very active and busy. Then I decided to weigh last friday just to see where I was and I have lost 4 more pounds since Christmas without doing a dang thing other then not having the access to the holiday goodies. I weighed again today to make sure it wasn't some sort of fluke and nope I weighed 4 pounds less then Christmas.

I went to my hubby and asked him how the heck he thought that happened. He looked at me like I was retarded and said "uhh you don't eat very much"? Then he proceeded to ask me what I ate the day before and when I started going over the last 3 or 4 days I realized he is right. I mean I don't know when my head hunger finally slowed down. It must have been sometime through the holidays when I just stopped thinking about food a ton. I remember posting something about head hunger and thinking of taking an appetite suppressant then here it is a month or 6 weeks later and I realize I may get a craving for something but I just don't eat that much. It is amazing, it is simple but amazing. I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I knew that was why I was having the surgery but I think it took a little longer for me to adjust physically and mentally to it all.

So enough rambling. I just was in awe of my sleeve and my results. It is awesome to think I can spend the rest of my life eating like I do, feeling satisfied and maintaining a healthy body. Hopefully this motivates someone, hell it has motivated me.

Isn't it just amazing? I can't wait until I get to my goal and can go through my life without panicking about gaining all of the weight back like in the days of old :-)

OMGosh! That is awesome...maybe I need to try that! Lol!

Congrats....I have been in a stall for this past week, stuck at 188. After having a great meeting with the nutritionist for my 6 week followup and she documented an average of 4.5 lbs a week and now nothing. But I have not gained and hopefully the weather will warm up so I can get out and walk some more.

That is brill... I can feel how positive you are all the way over the pond...lol...Looks like you are close to goal too... well done you! =]

That is excellent. It sure is nice to not obsess over food anymore isn't it? Congrats on the -4...a nice little January present for you!

I've had that happen and it's amazing. . . I love it. . . that is why i don't weigh myself all the time and when i do it's usually a nice surprise!
