Hi everyone!
Starting weight - 343
Surgery weight - 336
Todays weight - 232
Sometimes I agree with Teresa N. when she said she feels like she should be down more weight and others when they said they dont have restriction like they used to. I find myself looking at how far other people are and why haven't I lost the weight they have, but I know everyone is different. However, I have days where I have a lot of restriction and days where I feel like I have none. I am going to see a counselor tomorrow about a number of different things, I know weight and eating habits will be one of those things. My exercise is intermittent at best. I watch everything I eat, drinking water, taking vitamins. I know I feel so much better that I have some of the weight off. I am by nature an impatient person and just want it all gone now!!! Guess it doesn't work that way! :)

I feel the same way...i had my surgery on January 4th. I stop myself from eating most of the time instead of my stoma stopping me, Don't get me wrong, it does work sometimes. I just feel like more times than not, I can eat more than I should be. I have lost almost 60 lbs so far and that's pretty good, so I don't feel so bad about that, but I do get concerned when I eat.
I go back to the doc for my 6 mo checkup on the 2nd, so I will discuss it with him and see what he says.
Good luck to everyone! I am glad to see that I am not in this alone.

I feel the same way about my weight. I feel like I should be losing a lot more. But I am still losing the weight so that is important. I am losing about 10-12lbs a month. I have a protein shake every morning. I try to get as much protein in a day in sometimes I make it, and other days I don't. I still have a hard time getting all my liquids in but doing better at it. My only junk food is ice cream, the no-carb, low surger, and I have about 1/2 a cup and then I am good. Good luck to everyone!

I really don't have another goal weight. :)
As far as the restriction, I just tested it today! Oh it still works. I still can't have ruben meat. It hurts also, and when you are at work and get sick, that sucks more. It also depends on what I am eating. Like soup I can eat a lot of soup now, and salads are about the same. Just keep doing what your surgeon has told you and things will start working out for you. Good Luck!
