I there I'm a little concerned about my weight lost I was sleeved on 4/9/12 I was 246 and now 214 so 29 down It's been 3 months and my huge problem is my snacking because many foods just won't go down. I know it's crazy but veggies and eggs are not my friends anymore they hurt. But if I eat ice cream or crunchy foods they slide down amazingly. What a problem I know I shouldn't. I'm getting frustrated here and I thought when I got this done food wasn't going to be an issue or I wouldn't at least have to be thinking about food during the whole day like many of you say. Can anyone guide me please

You're losing more than 2 pounds a week. I would say that is pretty good.

What are you trying to eat? Eggs, which worked for me pre-op, weren't my friend, either until about 6 months out. I can't say I eat many raw veggies at all anymore, except for lettuce, onions and carrots, if they are shredded. My veggies are steamed, which I enjoy.

So, surely you did not expect to eat ice cream and have great weight loss, so you know you have to cut that out of your mealplan. At 3 months out, I was eating soups(anything and everything), tuna salad, deli turkey, cheese ... things like that. Lean, high proteins. No ... it wasn't a party and I wasn't *loving* my diet, but it was what my body could tolerate at the time and nutritious. It was what my body needed. Of course I had cravings, but at three months out, I was determined not to sabotage my efforts. I knew that I would not have to do this forever and that is true.

Just try to be as compliant to the rules as possible for 6 months. Do that and you will be so close to goal the excitement of it all will drive you the rest of the way. It will work, but only if you work it.

Cheat, and, well ... you're results may vary.

Thank you so much PDX I really appreciate your help and you're absolutely right. I feel better now, I'll take your advise

Are you exercising? Perhaps you need to increase your cardio...? (Just a thought).

I was doing Zumba, playing tennis but for the last 2 weeks I've been feeling pretty weak and lazy to be honest

Hehehe! That's okay. Exercise is a constant battle for me as well. There are days when I get into a zone where I'm like an exercise machine and other days .... not so much! lol. You'll get there. Overall, I think your doing just fine .
