One month appt
I had my one month appointment yesterday. Was a little worried because I had only lost 3lbs in 2 weeks. Dr. Chapman said I was doing great and not to worry because that happens. Whew!!!I have done really well with eating. Tolerating everything. Did ask him about a pain I get in my lower abdomen when I drink sometimes. He said that the lower bowel constricts when taking in extreme hot or cold. He said it would eventually go away. I have lost 26lbs and am ready to get going again. He said by my next appt (2 months) I should lose another 25-26lbs. That will take me under 200! It's been 10 years since I've been there!!! Sooooo excited about the thought.
Congratulations on your fabulous success. If it makes you feel any better, you have lost more in your first month than I did in mine and when all was said and done, I did okay. I'm sure that you will too. It's VERY common to have a stall or major slowdown in weightloss occur during the first month. It will pick up again and you will continue to lose.
Wishing you continued success,
