3 weeks out

Well I am now 3 weeks out ! I have days when I can't get a thing to stay down. And I have times when I know what should have been my last bite, wasn't then I really get sick. self inflicted . I try to measure out all my food. My biggest problem seems to be learning to slow down when I eat. I was so use to eating so fast. I'm down 22 pounds now and I can't get over how much better that has already made me feel. I can't believe how much better my ankles and my knees feel. This website really keeps me going. I have learned so much from others. Thank you so much for all your sharing. Deb

I still have to remind myself to slow down at times, and eat slower. Also it is hard for the mind to adjust and think "I'm going to be full with only that". It gets easier with time. Good job on the weight loss. Sounds like it is going good. Keep up the good work!!!

Congratulations, Deb! I'm glad you are feeling better and are down 22 pounds! What an accomplishment! Reading this website gives me so much informtion and hope for the future! My surgery is one week from today, and as I was reading your post I was happy for you and jealous at the same time. I'm excited to have the surgery, but I will be glad to get past the first few months. I hope you will be feeling better every day - take care! Cathy
