As of this morning, I am officially "overweight". I still have a bit to go to hit my goal, but golly i am gonna get there. I have 19 days for my 1 year surgiversary!! Super exicted and awesome NSV for me!

Stomach growls at everything I drink lol sorta funny as a I type I feel small twinges of hunger I can drink more than these little medicine cups. Please help me I woke up feeling like did they even do the surgery if not I’m getting a cheeseburger 😝😝😂

Banded in 2009; Unbanded 2012 (due to erosion) Lived life 2012-2019 struggling with weight gain and massive depression The decision to have Gastric Sleeve made Oct. 17th, 2019 Contacted my doc for initial consultation (Oct 30th) Self Pay This time...I tell nobody but my CORE family....I can't deal with the stupidity of people who don't understand this life! Here we go....finally getting back to ME Created a new blog to journal ALL of my thoughts and progresses www.SabrinaGoddess.com

Yes, they do for sure. Don't let it freak you out- it is totally normal. It is your body adjusting to rapid weightloss. Expect and try to accept stalls as part of your process. (It's hard, I know!) It means you have lost enough weight that your body is taking a pause, but it is not a stopping place. When stalls do happen double check to make sure you are doing the basics like tracking calories, getting enough macros and water in etc. If those things are all on point, try to relax and know that this too shall pass... and you will be moving that scale number lower again before you know it.

Congratulations on your 3lbs!! LOL I wasn't expecting the whole ewww everything food wise is gross, but I'll take that vs, wanting to eat everything.

Everything stinks to me lol I’m down 3 lbs that cheered me up. I’m sipping myself silly congratulations on 9 days 🤩

Just keep sipping your water. I'm 9 days out and still just eating because I have to. Lol day after surgery the smell of food made me want to puke. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Well, the doctor is happy that I lost the weight (I had gained about 15 pounds) and has put me back on the yearly check. My primary doctor does bloodwork and checks everything every time I go to see him. I guess I will stick with my surgeon still, he is a great surgeon and I respect the mans talents. As far as the support group, I think I am done. It was great while I was active in it, but it just repeats every year. We have a plastic surgeon come in one meeting, the program head shrinker another, the vitamin people another, a holiday party in December, and pretty much talk about the same things at the other meetings. Plus there is only me and one other guy in the group, the rest are females, so everything is geared towards them. I get it. But I am not getting anything out of it.

Love this!! Here is my list: 1. Crossing my legs when I sit 2. Wearing high heels 3. Posting pics of myself on facebook (right now it's just pics of my kids!) 4. Going to high school reunions, weddings, funerals...basically all the places I currently avoid for fear of running into someone who doesn't know how fat I got since high school. 5. Buying an outfit b/c I actually like it, but b/c it's the only thing that fits. 6. Going to my husband's work parties, etc, and not being embarrassed for everyone to see his fat wife (he is very good looking and I know people expect him to have a thin, beautiful, wife) 7. Wearing stretch pants to go to the gym, not b/c they are the only thing that fits. 8. Being a healthy role model for my children. 9. Keeping up with my husband, doing physical activities, hiking, bike riding, etc. 10. Going to a party or restaurant to enjoy the company, and not focusing on the food.

Great job! You worked so hard and that journey paid off in the end! Keep up the great work! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
