Today I went shopping and was so happy I got teary-eyed in the fitting room. Size 18 to size 10 in about 5 months. At my last NUT visit, she didn't seem too impressed. Am I supposed to be losing faster? It's not easy but I'm determined to keep this going! IMG_0219.JPG

I'd rather lose as slow as possible, so that the skin has a better chance to bounce back.

Don't worry about the NUT's reaction. You are doing great! As long as you feel good, the numbers are moving in the right direction, and you are following your diet plan, there isn't a problem. Moving from size 18-10 is huge progress and sometimes people will fail to give you the reaction you're looking for. You gotta be happy for yourself B)

Thank you all for the encouragement!

So true! MSinger. Yes, I am trying to stick to the meal plans. It's getting harder now that I notice I can eat more normally but I avoid everything with bread, Pasta, fried food etc. Sugar is now becoming a problem and I am working on increasing my Protein intake. I think the NUT was upset with me because I readily confided that I ate a few things I wasn't planning to. I wanted her to help me with solution strategies, but she was too busy judging me.

You have taken the first step in being honest with yourself about your mistakes. I think we will all have slip ups along this journey and it is what we do afterwards that will define our success. Admitting we made a mistake and figuring out what to do differently or better the next time is how we learn. This is the approach I plan on taking with myself. I know I am not perfect, but I will not let a slip up define me or derail reaching my goal.

Great job!!

I would almost swear you have the same nutritionist as me. The doctor was great at my six week follow up but the nutritionist made me feel like I was failing the program. I had lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks and I thought was eating fine. Like you no Pasta, no rice I didn't even have sugar but I drank some low sodium V8 juice because I was craving it and she fussed at me for that and said I need to stay as long on the liquid diet and push my Protein Shakes and long as possible because I didn't come to them to focus on what I could eat I came to them to lose weight. I was so taken back and upset when I left. My doctor was wonderful but she was not. I of course thought of a million things to say to her when I left like, no I came to the doctor to give me a tool to assist in my weight loss but I came to her to help me make better food choices and give me ideas of what to substitute for my bad food cravings. I plan on telling her how she made me feel when I go bad in 3 weeks. I honestly left there so discouraged that I almost gave up on myself. Now I'm working on the strength to not let anyone's comments affect my success. Your doing great and try to stay focused on your future and stay positive. You got this!!!

Way to go, it feels great doesn't it? I went from a 2X top and 22W bottoms to a 14 regular and Large tops in about 5.5 months.

My Surgeon is a lot like your NUT it sounds. I think I'm doing great, slow but steady loser, then I go to see him and he says "why you not losing more weight" its frustrating but I just keep at it. I'm down 92 pounds and 18 pounds from goal 1.

You are doing great! Don't let your NUT's attitude burst your bubble. I think they act like that bc they think they are "motivating" you when really its discouraging! Every person who goes through this journey will loose at their own pace and I think your doing great! When I started my journey 3 months ago I was in a size 22/24 and 2xl or 3xl tops. As I sit here typing I am wearing a junior size 16 shirts and a medium shirt!! Everyone's progress will be different but in the end as long as your headed in the right direction your in the right track!!

Good luck and great job!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
