Hi July sleevers, I had my op on 31.07.12 and have lost a lot of weight about 25kg. I was just curious how are others feeling in regards to General well being and the eating, do any of you find you can eat more but still in smaller quantities( if that makes sense). I am considering going back on the optifast shakes and soups to feel lighter. Thank you . From Perthsleeve

lost a lot of weight about 25kg.

perth

one kg = 2.2 lbs, right

so in the past 5 months you have lost 55 lb!!

wonderful

at 5 months your stomach has probably "relaxed" (not stretched) a bit - allowing you to eat slightly larger portions

"this"is normal - happens to many/most/all of us over a time period

the expression "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"

ie, just cuz you are able to consume 12 oz of chicken (stretching a point to make a point)you should/need to eat only 4 oz or so

not sure why you are concerned enough about your weight loss to think about trying something else also??

if you want to do only liquids for a bit to jump start an additional weight loss, thats fine

i think the rule of thumb is losing 10 lbs a month is good

might be more sometimes or less

i think you are doing great

btw - at 5 months PO, things were going well with me

i'm not a July sleever hope you didn't mind me talking to you

keep up the good job

2014 will be a great new year

congrats
