1 Month Anniversary How Do You Feel? How Much Have You Lost?

[Jlo77 11]

I feel amazing. I have lost 25 lbs since my surgery and I can feel the difference already. I have more energy and my closes are falling off.

I do mourn the loss of eating my favorite foods and have a hard time smelling my favorite foods. I made spaghetti last night and I had to leave the room when my family was eating. I am burned out on soft food but I know I have to take it slow and easy. I have not cheated and I make sure I get my Protein and Water in each day as much as I can. I use to hate Beans of any type no love pinto beans with cheese. I make a fo-pasta bake lol ricotta cheese, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese bake. I makes me feel like I am eating Pasta. Some days I can eat more then others. I love my baby bell cheese and laughing cow cheese. Club 100% wheat crackers are great 2-3 of them with humus sooo good.

Tell me what you have been eating and how you feel. Tell me how much you have lost.

Good for you! I lost 19 lbs my first month. It's taken me another 2 weeks just to lose 1 more lb. I love hitting that 20 lb. mark! I'm able to button blouses that I used to wear open w a tank top underneath; plus, jeans that I hadn't been able to wear for the last year or two.

This would be hard cooking for family. I live alone, so I can just concentrate on myself. I finally got a "Bullet" blender. So now I can make shakes w fruit in them and change things up a bit.

I eat pretty much the same Breakfast everyday.....one egg scrambled w about 2 T of cottage cheese mixed in. lunch can be soup; greek yogurt; EAS drink; leftovers .....something like that. Dinner: an egg again; or shrimp cocktail. I got a turkey dinner from Mimi's the other night. I've been eating that for the last 2 days....a little turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. That has been a real treat. I also like chicken salad or tuna as a meal, too. So, those are my food choices. I'd love to hear what other people are eating.

Keep up the good work!

I lost 20 lbs my first month but then slowed WAY down. I can't do Protein Shakes, so I ate a lot of tuna, soft tofu, ground turkey, and greek yogurt. Also, saltines and creamcheese, when I desperately needed something that went crunch.

You're doing great!

I love the club crackers 100 whole wheat. I have not tried crab cakes sounds like a good idea. What kind of lunch meat do you eat? chicken salad I have eaten once. I made homemade egg foo young with vegs that was great. I do not have caffeine or sugar at this point as well.

So far I have had ham and turkey lunch meats...one slice at a time.

I am one month post op today as well. I am about 23-25 lbs down, I have been fluctuating but started my more vigorous walking this week and it seems to be helping me get out of this plateau. I am seeing the inches come off though which is exciting, I fit into a lot of clothes that were ridiculously tight on me.

I am still doing soft foods, fork tender stuff which seems to be going well. Crackers and LF cream cheese go down really easy when I am famished. I do seem to be getting hungry like every 3-4 hours some days but I snack on LF yogurts, cottage cheese and more nourishing foods like that if it's in between meal time.
