Contests on all f your success! You look gorgeous - in both pics! But yes you can see the difference! Way to go. Keep it up!!
Hey everyone! I had my 3 month follow up yesterday and am happy to report that I'm down 53 lbs since surgery! For one, I can't believe that 3 months have already passed. I was hoping to be down more than that by now but I am beginning to let that go. I stalled for almost my entire 2nd month and was just glad to see progress during the 3rd month.
I have become obsessed with counting - carbs, Protein, fat grams, ounces of Water, etc. I started feeling like I was on the hardest diet ever! I was the baby in my support group yesterday, all others were 8-12 months post op. It was hard expressing my frustrations because they all had a been there, done that attitude about plateaus and weighing daily. My NUT told me that I need to eat more and stop worrying so much about carbs. She said that 600-700 calories are not enough. I left wondering how anorexic people remain thin. I know I'm eating more than an anorexic, but still....
Even though I don't really see it when I look in the mirror, this side by side comparison really shows the difference. The before was August of 2011 and after picture was taken this week. Surgery was January 10. I can't wait for the next 50 to come off!!
