2 month update

Hi Everyone,

My surgery was September 23, 2013, I was on opti for 2 weeks before that.  I have lost a total of 49.6 lbs from my highest weight.  I am doing well, so far I do not have any intolerances to any foods that I have tried.  I am still introducing other healthy foods when I can.  I do struggle with my water intake mainly because I used to gulp and find it difficult sipping ( I get cramping in my pouch if I sip too much).   I am forever greatful for this website and its support.  Please take a look at my before and now photo in my album.  I will try to update every 2 months. :) I am not sure how to add a link to this post!

Very Cool.  Congratulations on your success.

Congrats. That's a lot of weight to lose. Sounds like you're doing really well. I am now drinking liquids like I used to. So you will likely be able to start drinking more normally as well.

Way to go, Cindy!

Congratulations!  I have the same problem with liquids, mostly water, as it makes my tummy (or above it, not sure) tighten up and/or cramp up. I try to get most of my water in during the am hours as it seems easier than as the day goes on. I hope I'm successful as you when I hit the 2 month mark. I just past the 1 month mark but I'm trying not to weigh myself. 

You are doing AMAZING!! We had the same surgery date :) I only had to do 2 days of liquids before my surgery, but Im down 39 pounds. Feeling good, I do struggle with food. Mostly meats if they are to dry. But Im learning each day. Enjoying exercise and loving the loose clothes ; ) I have good days and bad days with water, it seems like some days it goes down really well but other days I can only get a few cups in. Im trying to better that each day! Congrats on your weightloss so far!!

I lost 15 lbs on optifast. :)

I am also 2 months out and down 50 total from highest weight!  We are doing it!!  Congratulations!
