Thank you tomorrow liquids all day Tuesday is rhe big day...so excited

For my birthday eve dinner I took two Tasmanian friends to a fabulous restaurant that cooks over open fire (yes, more dining out). Thought I’d share these two mouthwatering dishes. Buttermilk waffle with a cheese, raisin & thyme purée - two bites size & I had one. And the most delicious side dish ever - cabbage with lacto Koji (fermented crème fraiche), buttermilk, cashews & dill. The crunchy burnt bits just seem to make everything more yummy. (And the low lightening makes everyone, especially those about to turn a year older, look gorgeous -lol!)

For clearance I had an upper endoscopy along with labs and other tests. My program also will scope you the day of surgery to verify the stomach is empty.

I am not sure what ideal body weight is but I hoped to reach a “normal” bmi but wasn’t able to. I was warned that I may not be able to with bipolar disorder. Statistically, people with bipolar disorder tend to lose a little less. I am close though. I think normal bmi was 164 and I got to 169 then bounced back to 179.

Yea two weeks is a long time but just think about the weight you will lose that you don’t have to lose after.

I reached what is statistically supposed to be my 12 month weight loss at 4.5 months. I’m losing more slowly now… about 1 to 1.5 pounds a week. So, i guess I can lose this final 25 pounds and get to IBW, but at this rate, it will take a few months. After losing so quickly, I’m impatient!

It looks like SO MUCH food on my tiny saucer, perspective is everything. 2.5 oz. New york strip with grilled onions, 1/8 cup cheese noodles made lighter, 3 brussel sprouts. 288 cals!

Found some new low carb breads today at the supermarket. They taste pretty good too. I miss bread and carb heavy foods lmao.

70 calories, Low carbs and high in protein. Sounds like a great find.

I am 5 weeks out from vsg to mini gastric bypass and I am only losing 1-2lb a week. It's soul destroying! I would like to lose 84lb in total, so far I've lost 11.5lb in 5 weeks post op. I feel I can eat a lot too which worries me.
