This too shall pass. It might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.

Thai inspired lobster salad, very yummy ate all the lobster 🦞 meat. Almost all the salad. Will probably finish it in the next couple of hours

Dinner.

I went to the ER about a month after surgery due to severe pain and swelling in my leg. Thought it could be a deep vein thrombosis. They did a ultrasound of the veins in my legs to verify and no clots. But clots in the legs is a very serious issue after any major surgery. I only got blood thinner injections while in the hospital. some more overweight people get a script for them for weeks beyond surgery

Hi my name is Maria, mine is scheduled for this Wednesday coming the 28th. How are you feeling?

I would recommend not comparing yourself to others on here. Everyone has different starting weights, different levels of muscle mass, can do different amounts of exercise, have different basal metabolic rates, etc. 26 pounds is a lot! As long as you're following your plan you'll be successful, even if it's slower than you were expecting.

Whelp six months post op tomorrow! I still do not have "hunger" but I find myself more snacky over the last few weeks. It is annoying. I still stay within my plan limits 98% of the time, sometimes going over my calories (within 100) but usually with still healthier snacks and foods. I have been eating out more because life is so crazy and hectic right now, which I need to chill there too. We are going to Florida/Disney the first week of October so I will be forced to eat out then, which is just another reason to stop now. Overall I really don't have any complaints. No issues, and still kicking butt. I see my surgeon for my 6 month check up next week and I am still ahead of the predicted weight loss chart he gave me. I am JUST NOW starting to really see my weight loss in full body pictures. Even more so since I have been wearing clothes that fit rather than huge and falling off. Tons of friends have been commenting and sending me inspiring messages or when they see me say something. It is kind of nice that people are noticing the work I am putting in. Regardless of that, when I saw pictures of myself from the weekend I was like WHOA who is this person?!?! Flipside, I look like a half deflated water balloon naked. 😂😝 HAHA! KEEP GOING PEOPLE- WE GOT THIS! 6 months and hit 100 lbs loss today since surgery and 137 total!

Yes, same!

Hey everyone. I’m new to the group… I am currently in pre op phase. I have completed all the required tests for insurance. So my surgeons PA and I discussed the procedures that is in my best interest. We decided to submit to insurance for the SADI-S first, and if for whatever reason they deny it. Then we will send in for RNY Gastric Bypass instead. I’m so nervous! I know things are getting closer and I’m excited about it but scared too. Right now it’s just a waiting game for insurance to respond. Then once I get an approval, I’ll meet with my surgeon to discuss what’s next leading to surgery. Oo boy! 🙃🥴

Hahaha...my hubs and I call it my "food bucket list"..
