10 months and 161 lbs. off!

fuww57 · Jul 11, 2014

Like a dream come true. I can't believe I'm so close to my goal weight. When I see my surgeon for my 12 month follow-up in August I'll discuss with him about a realistic weight for me. He was happy in February when I has maybe 40 lbs. heavier considering where I started but I'd like to see more weight come off. The next 2 lbs. when I'll finally be under 200 lbs. can't come fast enough. The real fun at this time is freaking people out who haven't seen me since before the surgery. A neighbor who moved to another apartment saw me at the mailbox and actually gasped!

Are y'all following your rd diets to the letter? I am 3days post surgery and I went into it planning on following strictly. It's hard, though because there is only so much volume I can or want to take in. It seems like my rd has me getting all the vitamins, minerals and a lot of my protein in the diet and then AGAIN in the supplements. And everything is sweet. I could live without any sweet. I want to be cooperative but I am beginning to wonder.... What kinds of things do they have you eating or, in my case for now, drinking?

Awesome! You are an inspiration to those of us who are just beginning this journey! I am 10 days into this journey, I had the sleeve surgery on the 15th. It's so wonderful to read about people like you who have kicked butt!!!

I am looking forward to this journey.

I followed my diet pretty close to the letter. There were a couple of times where I started the next phase a day to two early, just because if I didn't have something to eat with a little more substance, my poor hubby was going to get hurt!

My suggestion is not to go wild, and really stick to it. It is worth it in the long run.

During my first two weeks, it was water, protein, and broth. I did slip in a little jello from time to time. Not a lot of variety. But I swear, it will get better with your next phase!
