like I should have. I only lost say 12-18 lbs. about 2 months out. After that I never lost anything more. I basically was eating a protein shake for breakfast, 2 part skim string cheese for a snack before lunch, a greek yogurt and some ground up turkey breast or cottage cheese with fruit for lunch. You would think having 80% of your stomach removed you would lose weight like crazy even if you weren't being 100% good. I just don't understand why I can eat as much as I can.
I really appreciate everyone's advice. I'm going to really try the 5 day pouch test and drink more water and get outside and MOVE! And make better choices and hopefully things will turn around. I don't mean to sound like a winer, but after my surgery I remember my Dr. telling my husband....she did awesome, she is going to love this procedure and she is going to lose alot of weight ( 2lbs a week) so that is what I thought would happen. That I wouldn't be ABLE to eat much at all and that the weight would come off.
