Well, I met with my surgeon and got the final total to date...29 lbs in 4 weeks! I'm feeling pretty good about it, but I've been warned that it will slow down. I'm okay with that however. Besides that, I'm in tip-top shape. Oh, by the way, I had posted earlier about this intense pain I was having in my chest and my doc confirmed what everyone had said--I am eating too fast. So, I know what I need to work on. Anyway, just wanted to tell everyone to keep your head up! We will get through!!!
Congratulations on your weight loss. Way to go! It's hard to learn to slow down eating. I'm a gulper, so I've had to resort to a "sipper cup" you know like Tupperware has for toddlers? It has helped so much because I you can't take a big swig. It's almost frustrating to have to slow down that much. Huggggs, Heidi
Bonnie--thanks so much for the encouragment. And I just wanted to let you know that I just joined this board yesterday and have noticed how supportive you are of everyone. I know that we all appreciate it. It feels like we are partners in this journey--thanks again and congrats on your success as well!!!
Congrats on your weight loss, I just had my ck up for 6 weeks and have lost 29.5 lbs, and gained 6 lbs of muscle. I know that it will slow down but it feels great right now and I am enjoying it, I am just going to keep doing what i am doing, I work out 3x a week at curves and walk my dog every day and follow the rules of the pouch....Good luck on your journey Courtney.. anita
