Four weeks out

Aug 31, 2015

I am 4 weeks out from surgery and down 38 pounds from my high weight of 272...31 pounds from my pre-op weight of 265...16 pounds from my surgery weight. When I read  the numbers it doesn't seem possible!!! But woe is me  I have lost  only 1 pound in a week (thank you "dreaded 3 week stall").  My logical brain tells me I have to focus on the the bigger picture, which is that  I have lost 16%  of my EBW in 4 weeks!!!

I went to dinner yesterday at  an amazing Italian restaurant with  my boyfriend and 12 members of his extended  family.  My mind was racing with thoughts of: "what will I order?...avoid carbs!...what has protein?...will I dump?...will they think it is weird I am not ordering pasta and cannolis?"... But I ordered some amazing soup and it came early, I ate slowly and by the time everyone's food was serve, I was full!!! I had a few tiny nibbles of a salmon patty (no bread in it) and felt great  afterwards!!! 

I love my sleeve!!! Best decision ever!!!
