4 months postop

Hi Everyone: Something strange has been happening to me, and I wonder if any of the other veterans out there have had this experience. From the beginning, surgery August 21, 2002, I have followed my surgeon's instructions as if they were from God. Protein, water and exercise have been my middle name for the first three months. During this past month, I am 4 months postop, I have experimented with food with carbs, sugars, and fats, always putting protein first, getting in the 55 grams per day required by my doctor. The amazing part is that I have lost more weight in the last 10 days than I did in month two. I was so discouraged following every detail down to the letter, and losing only 9 pounds in month two. Now that I am not so compulsive the weight is coming off faster, and life is so much easier. I had a difficult recovery, not because of complications, but due to depression and other things that I could not put my finger on. It took me three months to bounce back. I think part of the problem was that I was not losing weight well at all. I knew the surgery worked, because I was not hungry. I still am not hungry. Anyone else had this experience? Love ya all. Love Grace
