Wow that's a lot of weight lost in 4 months! What are you eating and how much are you exercising?

Thanks!

Basics of my eating:

-3 meals (2-3 oz), 2 snacks(1-2oz)... (my Dr would like 1, but I tend to have low blood sugar after this sx)

- min of 65g Protein. I average between 80-100 g/day.

- min of 60 oz Water

- I eat mostly meat, veggies, and dairy. And some fruit and nuts.

- I had stopped Protein supplements but started again when I started shedding (I panicked; it just made me feel better, lol. My Dr. laughed when I told him that.)

- I also have chosen to avoid all bread/pasta/rice etc. I've been very happy with that decision- I thought it'd be more difficult.

I wish the blog/ pic would work bc these details would be in there w/ pics of my food! (Sorry, Mini rant)

Exercise: 1-2 hours a day except Saturday- nothing extreme . And I might skip a day here and there if I had a particularly long shift at work.

I was also down around 40 lbs around week 8, similar to you. :)

Thanks for the response! We are pretty much on the same wavelength except for the exercise 1-2 hours a day thing. No bread rice or Pasta for me.

Congrats again.

This past week made 4 months since my vertical sleeve gastrectomy.... Sometimes I can't believe it's real. As of 2 days ago, I am 75 lbs down since my surgery weight. And I feel FANTASTIC! This is absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself.

PS: Are y'all still getting the error messages for blogs / gallery??. I'm just dying to update! LOL I have pics of what I've been eating as well as some NSV pics that I can't wait to share. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
