one month anniversary

It had been one month for me now and the last week or so have been the hardest. I seem to be easyer to over eat and every one knowes what that means.. As far as weight loss I think I am doing very well even though I had almost 2 weeks with no loss and I was stuck at 265 I am not at 261 and dropping. Good luck every one.

Congratulation, on one mounth, and your weight lost... My sugery was on the 20th, and I've had days where I felt I eat to much, like cottage chesse, and other soft food. The more solid foods take more work and I do fill up with less.. Now am at the stag were I dont want to eat and have to force my self. They say its all about our pouches healing. I also had a week or so with no weight lost, I'm losing now, but not as fast as I woul like. But I'm happy.. So good luck to you, and chew, chew, drink plenty on water, and dont forget your protein......

We all need to hang in there... I am thankfull for all the support on this site... lets all keep up to date.

Stick with your surgeons guidelines. Measure or weigh everything you eat. Your puch is still healing. The cut nerves will not allow you to have true feelings of hunger and fullness yet. It is normal to not lose for a couple of weeks early on. A true stall lasts much longer. Your body is just figuring out you are trying to starve it. You will start losing again. Try measuring yourself when you are not dropping pounds, chances are you are losing inches. Try to meat your fluid and protein goals each day (I find this part to be very hard). Keep up the good work. Linda

I do great with the protein but struggle with the fluids. The highest I have gotten is 48 oz. I can only do what I can do.
