44 Pounds Lost! :)

Hello everyone! Hope all of you are well :)

Weighed myself and I am officially 44 pounds lighter at 6 weeks post op. I can pretty much tolerate anything and my stomach is one hell of a trooper! I've been mostly eating the healthiest options I can with what I have. I have whole wheat stuff every now and then but it's so filling I can't even finish one slice with the crusts cut off! Rice is just so filling, I don't find it worth eating and I don't miss it. I usually have chicken and fish. No meat or pork just yet, and I only miss steak. I noticed that chips are TOO easy to eat so I try and stay away from those. I hate to say that I did have chicken nuggets once and my body just does not like junk food anymore. I feel weaker after I eat bad things and I can feel my heart working a bit harder, so it's not worth it anymore. It also makes me feel tired. I sometimes have ice coffee with skim milk and sugar subs. I love nuts and sunflower seeds but ill have to cool down with those since they're high in calories. Other than a craving or two here and there, it's been great! A struggle the first three weeks but I'm feeling so good. Energy is up! And my old jeans fit again! :)

Best thing is that I can finally start working out this week!! Can't wait for those results :)

Yay congrats! That's amazing! This was so good for me to read right now lol, I'm having surgery tomorrow and I've been starting to freak out a bit over being able to eat normal things ever again but this was great to read! Hope I have similar results :)

We sound the same. Also 6 weeks out today and lost 43 lbs as of yesterday. I can tolerate everything. I don't eat it all but haven't had an issue. Do you find you have to eat a bit more in order to lose?

Keep up the great work
