Hi I am 3 months out and like you I can only eat about 3 bites! I am rarely hungry, I have craving and I am not afraid to satisfy them! I eat so little of anything anyway! I am now starting to experience some hair loss which is a bummer since I have thin hair anyway!!!

Hey ruthie' date=' how tall are you? Great progress!![/quote']

The reason I ask is because I I'm 5'2 and my starting weight was almost the same as you. 225 and I wish to have the same results as u but I'm two months out and I'm at 185 so far ( I'm not complaining, I love my results so far).. Just curious what do you eat on a daily basis?

That's outstanding, I'm sure you must feel as if you were reborn, congrats and keep up the good work.

2.5 months out and I eat a lot. Around 1000-1200 calories which scares me because the norm is supposed to be 600-800 cals. I went from 244 to 201 in about 10 weeks though.

Everyone is different talk to ur nutritionist and see what's good for u I hit a stall at 2 months... just stay string and keep the faith

Krystamae, drink more protein drinks. It should help with the hair loss

It's hard to not compare ourselves to others. As others have said everyone loses weight differently. Don't be to hard on yourself when you see others drop faster.

I eat between 659-900 calories a day. No bread no Pasta and I only drink Water and sometimes the low cal Gatorade. Lots of fruits and veggies and lots of fish, chicken and lots of eggs, mainly egg whites. I weigh all my food and I log all my food on myfitnesspal. If you have a myfitnesspal feel free to friend me :) myfitnesspal name is ruthiecoyne

My food diary is public. Feel free to message me anytime too on myfitnesspal

I allow myself to eat on occasion a special treat if I'm craving something last night I had a small slice of pizza. I try walking for exercise but exercise is what I struggle with.

I thought it was going to be another "diet" too! Congrats on the weightloss! We have to remember that sometimes there will be weeks that our weight doesn't move but we have to keep positive!

Ruthie how long did it take you to be able to eat soft food without pain?
