Yayyyyyy Great job Don! I'm actually all excited for this weekend because someone is handing down clothes to me. What a big help it will be. So glad you could use the clothes and if he cleans more of his closet I'll keep you in mind!

I could be wrong here but does it not feel great to be a XL. My self I went from a 3x to a XL went from a 48 pants to 40 right now and their getting baggy but not ready for 38 just yet.

Great job so far keep it going

don what do you eat? on a typical day?

not much protein shake in the morning then a reduced fat cheese stick for a snack sometimes a 1/2 cup of chili for lunch (my fav) for dinner i put 4oz of food on my plate usually a little meat but never finish it i eat hard boiled eggs also sometimes for breakfast im not hungry so eating is hard for me only getting probably 300-400 calories a day normally im so afraid of stretching my pouch and can not do pork or tortilla pita pockets i tried that with some sandwich meat didn't work.. I was told the first year not to worry about calorie intake so im not i take my vitamins daily i will say i look at labels all the time and make sure what i eat is low in fat and has protein in it ..

sounds like what i eat. how are you losing so quickly?

Wow same time as me they say men loose faster then women not sure why everyone is different the first month i dropped 42 lbs so it has slowed and sometimes its a few days then i see a 2 lb drop you will get there your doing a great job

Im only 4 days post op and Im scared Im losing too much too fast. Im seeing 2.5 pounds daily come off! I seen various doctors use different diets and mine is strict clear liquids for two weeks so i think that is part of it too.
