Half way to goal and full for the first time!

Today I hit 235 lbs. which is half way to my goal of 170 lbs. I can't believe it, it's only been eight weeks since my surgery. The second big thing today, was that I ate half a falafel sandwich from our local Mediterranean Market. Such good, high protein, low fat mostly vegi food. My family loves it. Anyway, this is the first bread (pita) that I have eatten since my surgery. It tasted so good, AND I could only eat half of it. I was full!! This is the first time I have ever felt really full without having ate triple portions of everything at our Thanksgiving dinner or a mountain of hot wings. I was not 'busting at the seams full", but pleasently full. AND I STOPPED!! I may make it after all. I rolled up the other half and I'll have it for lunch tomorrow. What a novel idea! Normally, I would have eatten two of these sandwiches and polished of a pint of Ben and Jerry's for desert.

Hey you .. do not be so hard on yourself . You may need to do what I did . Go buy you a food scale . It helped me so much . I am now able to gauge how much is 3 ounces .. or 4 . I can weigh my food and know excactly what and how much I am eating . You may want to try it . I hope you get to feeling better quicky . Tink

Hi there! Things will get better/easier with time. You will learn what you can/cannot tolerate, how much and when to eat. Retraining oursevles to eat is such a challenge but one we can win. Congrats on your weight loss so far! All best!

Congratulations on your great weight loss. You are doing great. I had lost the sensation of being full for a few months. It has come back now and I am very grateful. Keep up the good work! Shannon
