Progress Thus Far...


I'm down 35 lbs and 7 weeks out from my surgery. I just went thru a 16 day stall that I thought I'd never get out of : / But sure enough, I came out of it and dropped almost 7 lbs in a matter of 2 days. So I'm at 164 as of now. Still have 50 more lbs to go but I'm making progress. I'm almost halfway to my goal and I'm only 7 weeks out lol. I realize it won't be coming off as fast now as it did preop and thru the liquid diet after surgery, but still, hopefully it'll come off rather fast :)

I'm doing well on my diet. I haven't had any vomit spells yet. I've overeaten at times and been really full, but not thrown up yet or had the foamies. I've come to realize that chocolate makes my stomach hurt, not really hurt as in pain, but just feels yucky...which is a good thing, makes me not eat it as much. I think I've tried just about everything that I ate before surgery and nothings seemed to set wrong with me, so that's comforting. I just can't eat as much of it. I can eat about 2-3 oz. now and I'm surprisingly doing well with my eating/drinking together. I sometimes eat right after I drink. I don't see why you aren't supposed to do that, so I've tried it and it doesn't seem to bother me in a negative way. But I don't drink after I eat. Don't want to experience the dumping syndrome lol
