Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted. Last week I had my 6 mos. checkup and I'm down 111pounds. I was very pleased. I also had blood work done, which must be okay as I haven't heard anything from the nurse (she said she'd call if there was a problem). Although I am doing well with the weight loss I am worried that it's going to come to a halt and to lose anymore weight will be a constant struggle. Does anyone else experience these feelings or concerns? I also struggle with excepting compliments from people. People who haven't seen me in such a long time can't get over the change or they can hardly recognize me without giving me a second look. I usually tell them " thanks " but usually in a tone like it's no big deal. Does anyone else struggle with this? I'm sure it's because I'm not used to receiving compliments from others. And finally sometimes I concerned that I can eat too much (at times) and I've already " stretched " out my pouch. Is the " pouch stretching " just a myth? And how big can it really be stretched out to? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. As I sometimes feel as though I am the only one with these concerns. Take Care, Open RYN 4-7-03 351/240/???

I heard that after a long period of time that you should not be able to eat more than 6 to 8 ounces. I am sure we have all heard different amounts though. I do know that sometimes I can eat a little more than others but I try to stay at about 3 or 4 ounces right now. I hope that I never do stretch the pouch. But if I do eat to much it lets me know quick! I have heard people say that if you stray one day get right back on course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
