One month down, 34 lbs gone forever

[dustin551 84]

I had my surgery one month ago yesterday. 5 weeks ago, I began my one week liquid diet at 338 lbs, my highest weight. I weighed 330 the day I got home from the hospital. Today, the scale read 296. That's 42 lbs total in 5 weeks.

It definitely comes off in waves. I had a week and a half stall at two weeks where I was at 306 forever. Then I dropped to 300 in a couple of days and stayed there for almost a week. Finally broke through that yesterday. It seems like I'll go about a week and then suddenly the scale will move dramatically.

I know some people will say that you shouldn't weigh yourself every day, but it kind of becomes an addiction.

Congrats! How many calories do you eat in a day? What about exercise? You must be extremely proud of the success!

Unfortunately, I haven't been exercising at all. Might have been even better if i had. Strangely enough, I seem to lose better when I eat "normal" soft foods compared to just Protein shakes, yogurt, Soup, etc. What I mean is, even if it has a decent amount of carbs, as long as I only have a bite or two, I do much better. I'm convinced that what broke my least stall is that I had a few bites of some over-cooked rice.

My calories are around 800 per day.
