How's everyone Weight Loss & eating going?
I just found this board so this is my first post! I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 68 pounds. I started at 302 and weigh 234 now. I feel like a slow loser but I'm hoping the weight will keep melting off. I exercise for an hour a day 6X a week and haven't been keeping up on the Isopure protein drinks cuz they've been too expensive for the budget. I hope to have that change though starting tomorrow! Only had dumping and not in a awhile. I got for my labs next week so I hope all is well.
I am generally on the TN board, but wanted to jump over here to see what's happening.
SW - 246
CW - 175
Loss - 71 pounds
I do ok with most foods, just smaller amounts (yea!) have not been exercising since the beginning of the month (had a death in the family, made a trip to Colorado, kids out of school and of course, Christmas) WILL go walking today, though, cuz it's driving me crazy! I miss it! I need it - both physically and emotionally!
It's been interesting to deal with a significant loss while so new to WLS. I've always been an emotional eater, and now I can't do that! But that's good - I told my husband I probably would have gained another 20 pounds this month if I hadn't had the surgery. Needless to say, I'm very thankful I had it! I was at 185 on Thanksgiving, so lost 10 pounds even though I was dealing with all that!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
