10 months out
Well, its been just over 10 months since my 8/20 open rny. I weighed 367 then and 199 now. Still some 30 or pounds to goal. I'm not considering plastics yet, because I want to wait until my weight stabilizes. (However, there must be 10 lbs in loose skin alone, lol) I lose about 3 lbs a month now.
My biggest issue is the ease with which "wrong" foods go down. Meat and I, on the other hand, still have somewhat of a love/hate relationship. I love meat, but I can't get much down before I'm uncomfortably full--oh, but could the same be said for soft foods! My strategy is simplistic--eat the meat till I know I'm getting full, then put in those carbs/desserts that I love in the small bit of remaining room. So I get the cheesecake--ok, perhaps only one bite, but I don't feel deprived.
