Re: eating more at 14 months

[Guest guest]

Bev,

Thanks for the advice, but I do all of the things you mentioned. I eat when

hungry, eat protein first, don't drink with meals... yadda, yadda, yadda....

Its still scary! LOL Im not self sabatoging here, but have just noticed the

increase in ability/capacity that still feels comfortable.

Did I reply earlier? It's been one of those days. I started noticing and

worrying about increased consumption about the 12 month mark. I continued

to lose weight at a slow pace and continued to worry. Now at 17 months, I'm

almost over worrying. I don't think you can help worrying at first while

you see what your body does. In those five months, I lost more and

stabilized around 180. This week has been the most stressful of my entire

career....partner of 12 years retired and entire new computer system on the

same day/week. I'm the owner, manager, installer, etc. Anyway, I wasn't

going out to lunch everyday, eating a cookie over the afternoon, etc., and

looked at the scale and had dropped four more to 176. It scared me! I had

to actually take action to make sure and eat more and get my weight up a

little. Only people on this list or who have been obese can fathom what a

weird, freaking concept this is! Eat more...you've lost too much! 176

makes me look bony and sick. 180 is pretty hot.

Anyway, like I said, I would just be observant and mind your p's and q's.

It takes a LONG time to stop worrying.

HI,

Sorry its taken me so long in getting back to you.

I weighed 320 when I had the surgery. Eleven months later, in Sept. I weighed

140 and by May 98, I was down to 110 or so. So I lost 210 pounds in a little

over a year and a half!!!! I could have never done it without weight loss

surgery. I am coming up to my three year anniversary. I have had

complications from the surgery, some major, but I still don't regret my

decision to have the surgery done.

My weight now goes up and down by 5 pounds and I am very happy with that.

Blessings, Bev
