Weight is slowing down but still going down.  I am jelous of those who lose so much faster than I do, can't help it.  I don't get it.  I only worry because I am always afraid it will stop.  Sometimes when I reach a stall I have to actually try to eat more to get past it.  After Thanksgiving and all the pie, I budged past a small stall.  Go figure.  I was really hoping to be in onederland by now.  Maybe I will make it by New Years Eve.  Anyway no Hair loss and I feel great.  Even though I eat way less, I feel like I can eat more than most of you.  Have only gotten sick 2 times in 4 months from over eating.  Well talk to you at 5 months.

Well here I am 3 months have gone by and 30 pounds gone.  For those of you who are like me and seem to be losing slower don't get cought up in comparing yourself to others.  I did this but don't any more.  I just remember how tough it was to lose even a pound before.

I eat what I want but with common sense.  I still eat out a lot but bring a lot home with me.  It is a bit of a waist of money but I don't really care.  I just want to continue to act as normal as possible with my banana.  Sometimes I share with a friend and I am finding that lots of my friends like sharing with me so they will eat less.
  
Whenever I get into a stall I go back to the Dailyplate.com and track my calories but other wise I just don't think about it.  The biggest difference is I don't seem to think about food all the time like I used to .  I do still get hungry,  I am not quit sure how this Ghrelin works.  I eat 3 meals a day and a couple of snacks.  Usually under a 1000 calories a day.  

One more thing.  For some reason walking seems to be the best exercise for me right now.  I belong to a gym but the walking seems to budge me past a stall.  Just keep this in mind before you spend a lot of money on gyms and trainers.

I just want to say something about those of us who lose slower.  It's Ok.  I was really bumbed about it at first.  But as time marches on and the pounds do come off you start to realize this is a good way to lose.  I started with a BMI of 42.  5' 3  240  Wanting to lose 100 pounds.  I have always thought that I had something wrong with my metablolism because I don't really eat so much that I should weigh that much.  losing slower just makes me think I was right on to get this surgery.  In the last 10 years it has been next to impossible to lose anything no matter how much I exercised and ate right.  Being forced to eat smaller potions and healthier was the only cure for me.  So far no hair loss or sagging  skin.  That's the upside.  I could not have done this without the sleeve.  If you have to self pay and go to Mexico, find a way to do it.  It is so worth it.   

 one week out.  I feel great.  No complications.  I am eating soft foods and having no issues other than a terrible rash on my neck.  Probably from one of the meds.  I eat slow, I  have not thrown up.  

Just want to say this about Mexico, make sure to disclose all health issues.  They don't have your medical records.  

While I was there one man had the sleeve, he had diabetes and had not been taking his meds for some time.  He had complications and is still there.  A woman did not disclose that she had breast cancer and they had to stop the surgery, She lost some of her money.  So be honest.

Well it is count down.  My last weekend before surgery.  Getting nervous but excited.  Went a got some protein drinks.  Muscle milk.  Keep all informed of my progress.
