To help kick start my weight loss, I try to eat different things and do other types of exercise. I normally just walk for 1 hr and some times lift weights and do stretching exercises. I lost the most weight over a 3 day period when I ate stuff I was not suppose to but in very small bits. I think I took a bit of one chocolate, one piece of french fries, and other random things. I ended up feeling sick the next day but for some reason i lost a lot of weight.
I still cannot eat things that are fried and dry or anything that is burn. The dry food makes me feel very sick. I can eat some things like chicken, fish, etc... The main thing I need to remember is I need to take very small bites and take my time eating. Before the surgery, I normally ate full meals in 10 minutes. I need to eat over 30-1 hr and take smaller bites. When I do that I do not feel bad eating drier foods. Most foods do not seem to be an issue. I even ate some teriyaki beef and onions just fine.
I feel the healthiest I have been in years. My waist size was a 46 before, but now i can weir my old pants from before I moved here which is a size 44. The size 44 pants are actually too large, but I do not want to buy new pants until I hit a more permanent plateau.
New Years Resolution is to keep at it.
