Topic: Almost Reached My Goal
I had my surgery on February 24, 2006 (360 pounds). As of today I have lost 150 pounds (210 pounds). I am no longer on any diabetic and blood pressure medicines. I went from a size 48 pants to a size 36, heading for a size 34. I went from a 4X shirt to a large (16 - 16 1/2 neck). I am only 15 pounds away from my goal weight of 195 pounds. All this in less than a year. I really appreciate all the support from this website as it is good to know there are others out there going through the same things. -Bill_
Topic: RE: Something stuck in throat sensation
I get the same feeling after 2-3 bits of food. I just have to sit and wait for it to go down before I eat anymore. I usually burp once or twice then I'm ok to eat a little more. This usually happens when I eat heavy foods.

You're sweet Kayla, thanks for asking. I'm doing so much better today. I didn't have that feeling all day today, which is good. I chewed my food really well for lunch & ate slower. So let see if it happens to me tomorrow? I guess I needed to slow down, you know now that we are about 10months out we can eat so much more & I almost feel like I didn't even have surgery 
but I did and I gotta watch myself.

In 7 weeks I lost 17 pounds [tomorrow is eight weeks - I believe I have lost more, but will see]. I think that's about what I was losing over the summer - 10lbs a month. Then in September it started to slow down, and I joined WW on October 10th. I will be SUPER HAPPY if I can continue on this path for a few more months, but I am not sure that's realistic. A lot of people seem to have had a stall or are coming off a stall right now, and I have not had one yet [knock wood]. I don't know what that means, I guess I should anticipate one, or at least a slow down. I am working hard to make my February surgery date at goal, which I think may be a little unrealistic, but hey, I can try, right?
Don't forget to review the RULES OF THE POUCH again [let me know if you need the link]. I did the other day and realized I am really slipping with how and when I drink my fluids [I get them all in, but I think it's too close to meals]. And I needed the reminder to do protein first. I still do my shake every morning, but when I was logging food on FitDay I was getting close to 100g a day, and since I've slacked on that too, I am sure I'm not hitting that target anymore either.
I think there is always something I can tweak. I like that with WW I can feel like I am taking proactive steps to being accountable.
When do you weigh in? Are you finding the points easy to follow?
