Updates Needed!!

I am 9.5 weeks out. I have had a steady weight loss up to this point. I feel so much more confident about myself, I weight 212, that leaves me at a 53 lb weight loss. I have trouble sometimes when the scale doesn't move, but i know that I am doing everything to the best of my ability and that just because it doesn't show this week, I am sure it will show in the long run. I know that if it was not for this surgery Iwould have never been able to lose this much weight! I find that the only thing I have a major problem with is chicken! It just does not go down right no matter how much i chew! Now if it is in chicken pot pie style with gravy and creamy sauce it seems to be much more managable. i have had a few salads and I really enjoy them. It was nice to have some veggies in my body. I feel like all I consume is protein and water! lol. So when i throw a little ham on the salad it works well. I have increased my work out schedule now that I am finished school for the summer. I know that will help with the weight loss.... I think that every pound lost is one step closer to our goals! no matter how long it takes to get there, we will eventually make it to a healthy weight!

Hello all I am almost 3 months out I had surgery on Feb 21. I went in for my 3 month a couple of weeks early I went last Wednesday and had lost 55 pounds. I think I am a slow loser but i don't have that much to lose so maybe that is why. I just have 122 total so I have about 67 more. I am sure I have lost something this week but I don't weigh often because it is discouraging to me. I can eat a lot more than most and that sometimes worries me. However I have a terrible habit of eating too fast and getting sick and throwing up. I did it tonight. Old habits are hard to break. I have had one stricture but other than that and occasionally getting something stuck and throwing up I have had no problems. I am not one of the lucky ones that dump, I can eat most anything. I have two new mottos that I repeat to myself daily, "Just because You can Eat it , doesnt mean you should!" Weight Loss surgery is my last chance at getting it right if I screw this up I am screwed. ' These two quotes I found here helps curb me some. I hope everyone is doing well. Lesa
