Almost 5 months out

Well hi everyone, sorry i havent posted in a while. I am now down to only 29 lbs away from my goal and i am excited. My starting weight was 203 and i am at 144. I am happy withmy weight. but i have a question I tried a sip of soada tonight (coke) and omg it was the nasty thing ever, i didnt feel bad in my stomach but the taste grossed me out so bad i remember it tasting good but oh man it was so nasty. I am sort glad i did it, i hadbeen craving the taste and just really wanted a sip so i broke down and did it and now i relize that it is so nasty, has anybody else had this happen? I now find that with alot of things i liked before and i hate it now......

Wow, 144 is so small-congratulations! You must be feeling fabulous! I haven't tried any coke, but my tastes have most definitely changed since surgery. White bread now tastes like raw dough to me. This, coming from the woman who could easily eat half a loaf at a time before! I also don't like things that are greasy or fatty, whereas before I loved butter on everything! The other day I tried some pizza and it had "too much" cheese on it. Wow-who am I?

Wow you are doing great!! I have also noticed that my tastes have changed. I haven't tried any diet pepsi yet but I am sure it won't taste that good. I just don't want to do anything to stretch my new stomach! I am 52 pounds to goal, but I noticed the weight loss is moving kind of slow now. Jan

Dear Toni, Our weights are really similar. I was 203 also before surgery and now I am 146. I used to love eating scrambled eggs and now I hate them. I have tried soda and I don't liike it anymore either. Do you find that your weight loss is starting to slow down at 5 months? I am but since it has only been five months, I know I still have at least anothyer seven months to lose. Take care and good luck to you. Hillary
