I'm About To Lose It Logo

An obese 50 year old guy takes the plunge into RNY gastric bypass surgery.

I lost a pound…actually 1.4 pounds. Finally! I’ve lost about 2 pounds in the last 2 months. That is a big swing from previously losing 2-3 then 1-2 pounds a week! Still going in the right direction though.

Even though I’m still not quite at my initial goal, I feel like I’m already in the “this is what it’s going to be like for the rest of your life” phase. It’s definitely more of a struggle than the first 12 months were. I’m much more tempted by food, can tolerate anything, and can hold more. Part of the slow down is the reality that I’m eating more and not always the best things.

It’s hard now…but not hard like it was in the old days. It’s still doable. I still feel like I can reach my goal and not gain a bunch back…maybe. I just have to be vigilant!
