2 month mark & down 50 lbs!

I'm so excited! And THANKFUL that the weight is really coming off! Now, I've hit a stall or two during these first 2months & I've had to exercise & keep a sharp eye on what I'm eating & portion control, but this procedure has been the best decision I've made. I'm filled with so much hope for the future (& the near future involves spring & summer) & that's a gift I have not always possessed. Grateful!!!!

WOW! 50 pounds down in 2 months that is fantastic. Has that been since your surgery day?

If I may ask, about how many ounces are you able to eat at one time? I am 6 weeks out and suffering with pain every time I eat. Some times I am able to only eat 1 1/2 to 2 ounces other times I can get about 1/2 cup down depending on what the food is.

Congratulations!! Do you mind if I ask what your starting weight was? I'm only down 48 lbs and I'm 5 months post op!

Congrats

I'm usually able to just eat 1/4 cup. I haven't been measuring in ounces yet. I find that I probably eat every 2 hrs--sometimes it takes me a while to finish the 1/4 cup. I'm right there with you--sometimes I can eat 1/2 cup & sometimes I feel stuffed after 2-3 bites. Makes no sense, but I just go with it! Good luck to you!!!

My starting weight was 268 & I'm 218 now. I am counting the 2 weeks weight loss prior to surgery. I was 253 on day of surgery. This is an interesting journey--some weeks I'll stay the same weight & some I'll lose 4-5lbs. My goal is to lose 8-10lbs a month, but ultimately, I guess I'll just see what my body decides to do. Keep up the good work!
