How will I stop?

Ok that makes sense! Thanks!

Congratulations!  I am 25 pounds from my first target.  My surgeon initially suggested that I would end up in the 170's somewhere. I still hope to eventually get closer to 150, which would put me exactly at the high end of normal.  What a fun ride.

Way To Go!  You have done an amazing job! I had a 9 week stahl around 140....  I almost lost my marbles LOL  but once it started again it never stopped.  I spoke with my surgeon and he told me to add in 500 cals a week (protein based of course) and to keep doing that until I found my maintenance spot.  At the time I was working out like a nut and found 2500 cals a day kept me at 115-122.  Of course that changed when I stopped working out so much.

Again Congratulations 

J E F F !!!!

You are killing the weight loss !

Woo hoo!  

Why why why do men lose weight at a better rate?

Why why why are we women cursed with Menapause?

Jeff ... I hope one day that I will be asking the same question, but it will most definitely not be a 4 months...

I am looking ahead and trying to figure out what a good "goal" weight would be.

I am not a normal woman... I am 5 8 inches and have a very large bone frame... I am also well muscled.  I wish there was a normal weight guideline for me.  I have chosen 175 as my long range goal (my weight at 22) BUT my weight management team believe 190 would be more realistic... Time will tell...

What I have learned from all of you?   

My body will decide what it wants to do....

Take care!

I am your biggest cheer leader!

Hi,

Thanks for being my biggest cheerleader!  I know that I'm doing good.  Part of it is just that I don't like food anymore.  I'm only having about 500-700 calories a day.  I'd actually rather lose it just a little slower.  At 5'11" I really don't want to end up 150.

I use to think I was big boned.  I now know that's not true.  My doctor was laughing at me today because I thought the my sternum and ribs felt malformed.  Turns out I never really felt them before.

Yeah, big boned was a myth we all liked to tell ourselves. Big boned really is not a thing.

The oddest bone I found, by far, was the xyphoid process.

Enjoy not liking food. A year from now you will like food again. A lot. And you'll be fighting to keep from gaining.
