53 yrs old and finally going to do it !!

Hello, sorry I haven't posted sooner. It's been about two and a half months since my last post, the truth is I haven't been losing as much as I'd like. the weight is still coming off but at a much slower pace. I've lost 53 lbs. now since my surgery in March 2018. The last 2 months I seem to suddenly be craving desserts quite a bit. I'm trying to stick to eating less calories. The weight continues to come off but it has slowed down due to my eating habits. I'm posting a picture which honestly doesn't look any different from the previous picture I posted but I am wearing smaller size clothes and my scale shows I weigh less. I hope I'm more excited about the next picture I post. Till then. Still losing..

53 yrs old and Finally going to do it !!

Hi there, it's just about 3 months after my surgery and so far I've lost 45.5 lbs. I had a few issues with eating, I thought I was eating a lot less and eating much slower like I'm supposed to but I was either feeling nauseated and then would throw up or I had a lot of painful gas pressure in my lower chest area. Dr. did put me on meds for reflux after surgery that is an issue that can happen. When I went to Dr. he told me I was still eating too much and was still eating too fast. So since I took care of that issue I've been feeling much better. Then I hit a plateau, I didn't lose any weight for 2 weeks. Apparently this is also something that happens occasionally. Aside from those issues I think I'm doing pretty good. I feel much better, I'm getting more exercise using resistabands, light weights and my stationary bike also going on walks few times a week. Still struggle with my diet. Though for the most part I'm eating much better and really trying to stay away from anything processed. I've already given away most of my clothes, I'm trying to only buy a few pieces of new clothes at a time because they only fit for a couple of months. I have to go again this weekend to get more tee shirts and work clothes, mine a very loose. Thanks to everyone for your support.!! Until next time, Bye ????
