4 months post op today 7/10/15

Today is my 4 month anniversary and I am down 37 pounds since surgery and 60 pounds from my highest weight- I could not be happier! I know others have lost more than me in the same time frame, but I am very happy with my weight loss this far- people have noticed but I have not received one of those shocking comments about loosing too fast or are you sick, etc. I continue to enter all my food in MFP which is very helpful. I sometimes struggle with getting all my protein in, but I strive to hit 70 grams a day. Fluids are not an issue I hit the recommendation every day. I have not had any food issues other than I can't have oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast- my body is turning those items into sugar too fast and I end up running to the bathroom. Maybe someday but I am not pushing it. I have had a couple of mini stalls and I find that if I increase my calorie intake then I loose a pound or two. I also hit my 2nd short term goal of weighing less than my husband, finally! Working on trying to come up with another short term goal. Wishing you all the same success and good luck on your journey!

@@innwtitdtity,

Congratulations! You are doing fantastic. I remember hitting that goal of weighing less than my husband who is overweight as well. Now I weigh less than my son who is a healthy weight.

Every time I hit one of those goals I get excited all over again!

@@innwtitdtity congrats and I think your weight loss is awesome. I also don't want to lose too fast and would rather go at a steady rate. I have been working out and weight training to keep my muscle tone and still noticing my close much looser. I am happy with my pace so far and so is my surgeon.

Celebrate your anniversary, you have come so far!!
