2 1/2 months 62 lbs down

[mandy3687 0]

So since the start of my process I've lost 62 lbs... I started at 277 and I'm 215 now... it's starting to go a little slow right now for me and it's a little discouraging. I'm never hungry but I know starvation won't help me loose so I force myself eat. When I do eat I can only have 2 bites and most of the time it sits like a rock and I usually vomit or am in pain the rest of the night. I don't eat bad so idk what's wrong. I don't weigh myself because I don't want to be disappointed if I haven't lost what I wanted to. But the last 3 weeks I've only lost 2-5 lbs. It's a little depressing since I work 2 jobs and I'm on my feet all day everyday. I'll take any advice.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. I found it difficult to eat solids too. But I also found mixing food groups together gave the food more flavor. So I started combining things to make a meal. I began making high Protein Soups and chili. So I was able to eat a good tasting meal that did not cause the pain from eating solids. I have written a short article about my experiences and have included recipes if you might want to try it. It is available at http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

The loss in hunger is common after surgery, but the constant vomit and pain is not. If I ate too much, I would experience it. But before it struck, my body would warn me that I was close and I would stop eating. So there may be a medical problem with your surgery and you might want to discuss this with your doctor and nutritionist.

Thank you! I did talk to my surgeon and he told me it was normal... but he said if it continues he will have to do the scope to make sure it didn't close to much... just a little nervous... but I can take two bites the size of a dime and get that pain... it's it's a little scary
