6 1/2 weeks post-op

Jul 27, 2010

I have been reading other people's blogs and seems my weight loss is a lot slower that everyone else!  What the heck is that about?  I'm eating what I'm supposed to, when I'm supposed to and walking almost everyday.  I'm down 31lbs to 236 which of course is better than nothing or even gaining!  I definitely feel the difference in my clothes.  I'm down to a 22/20 from 24, so I'm happy about that.  I just don't get how most people are down 45+ lbs at this point.  Frustrating!  Other than that, I feel great.  Food has taken a different role in my life for sure.  Now I make myself eat something.  It pretty much all tastes the same, so I pick something that is rich in protein.  Sure I get cravings every now and then, and when I do, if its not sugar, then I allow myself 3 or 4 bites.  Some things don't go down as smooth as other things.  Usually eggs go down fine, butI just ordered a scrambled egg off the lunch truck and YUCK, I took 3 bites with the 3rd feeling like its stuck.  I really need to work on being more consience of having a drink of water after exercising.  If I take more than 2 gulps, I get nauseous.  I have not experienced dumping as of yet.  I have not thrown anything up yet, although I have sat with a pot on my lap wishing and praying I would throw up from eating something too fast.  I've done that twice and pretty darn sure I learned my lesson!  Other than my frustrations of slow weight loss, things are going well.
