Here I am at 16 weeks post op. My official 4 months is August 10th. I have lost 64.9#, more than half of my excess weight!!!!! I did fall of the wagon this past weekend eating brownies and tootsie rolls in place of protein. Fortunately the damage wasn't too terrible, I didn't gain any weight, but only lost 0.6#. Thankfully getting back to the straight and narrow wasn't hard in the following days and I successfully increased my protein and dramatically decreased my carbs.
Charting my food has been very helpful, it has helped me see in plain black and white right in front of my face that I like to eat at night. I've been saving calories so I can eat pork rinds at night about an hour before bed. They seem to help me feel satisfied. If i make sure I put it into MFP at the start of the day I know I have room for my bedtime snack while keeping my calorie goal intact.
I'm determined to do better because I have a personal goal of losing the remaining 63.2# by the end of the year, so I can start the new year in maintenance. This journey can be hard sometimes, especially when there is temptation all around but if others can be strong and push through I know I can too.
