100 Days = 50 Pounds!

What a ride! In my entire life, I have never experienced success like this. I simply eat three meals a day, drink my fluids and take my vitamins and lose, on average, three pounds per week. My whole life is a wow moment. All of my clothes are too big. The "skinny" clothes are now baggy. My only regret is that I waited so long to have this surgery. I actually have nightmares that someone takes me back to the hospital to reverse the surgery and I wake up screaming! I tolerate most foods if I chew well. I haven't indulged in sweets or fried foods and plan not to. I don't want to know if those things don't bother me. I plan to live the rest of my life assuming that sugar and fat will make me deathly ill.

HELLO FREEEEEEDOM!!! If I could offer you one REALLY REALLY GOOD piece of advice, it would be to STICK TO YOUR GUNS and DO NOT try the sweets or fried foods to SEE if you can eat them. I said the same thing you did....but broke down over the holidays, found that I could manage ALL OF IT. As a result, I slowed my progress down and am now about 40 pounds short of goal. My window of opportunity has closed, and I am am now struggling to lose these last 40 pounds just like a normal person.... BIG MISTAKE trying that stuff. Stay true to yourself and you are gonna fly through this! CONGRATS to you!!! Take care. Tami
