I made it through the first month. I am at 251 lbs now. That is 20lbs gone since surgery and another 5lbs of preop wt. I can already tell the difference. Most of my clothes are too big for me. Started out as size 22/24 and already wearing some 14/16 tops and 20 bottoms that are starting to feel quite lose.
I cut my hair few days ago too, which has made a world of difference. Many people are commenting on my wt loss, which just keeps my motivation up. I am also waiting the return of my husband who has not seen me at all since surgery. He has been away for 3 months and will be home in a few weeks. Can't wait to see his reaction the new and improved me. Would love to be another 5 lbs down before he gets home.
The wierdest thing for me is that I don't really think about eating all the time. I do get really hungry but that is about 4-5hrs after my last meal. I am eating mostly protein and veges and still drinking two protein drinks a day. Love the unjury protein. I have a large cup of coffee with chocolate protein every morning and it is delicious. I am struggling to get in 64 ounces of water a day. Usually get about 50 if I am good. Need to work harder at that.
I also started working out this week. Got on my treadmill that has beem dormant for about 5 mos since I bought it. IT FELT GREAT to work out again.
Looking forward to the next month.
