I feel you on this!! I struggled MIGHTILY during what used to be my TOM (I had a partial hysterectomy; still have ovaries). I thought of nothing but food & EATING for 4 straight days and I thought I'd lose my mind. I managed it ok in the end, but it was brutal.

I'm questioning my decision to take the scale out of the house. I feel like I've either stalled or I'm losing veeeerrry slooooowly. No changes in my clothes for a couple of weeks now. I had DH take the scale out at about 2 weeks post-op bc I was obsessing. Now I only weigh at doctor's appointments which have been every 6 weeks. My concern is that I may need to change something in my routine if I've stalled but I won't know! Thoughts?

Dangit! I've struggled with a Vitamin D deficiency in the past. I'll have to inquire for my labwork details.

Hmmmm, thanks for posting this! I Vitamin D

I read here to put turkey pepperoni in between 2 paper towels and microwave them for about 35 seconds. It makes them crunchy and I'm LOVING them with a Babybel cheese!! Mmmmmm.... Also big, blue cheese stuffed olives.

Realized my Spanx were too BIG!!

I'm obsessing over every hair I find thinking, "Is this the beginning?!"

Well, I had to travel for work these past few days. I *thought* I was looking pretty good in my wrap dress and boots. Until I saw a picture. OMG...I've got a LONG way to go... {HEAVING SIGH}

Flew TODAY and didn't need the extender!!! I even had about 6 inches of seatbelt left over! What what?!?!

I take 10,000mcg a day. You'll just pee out what you don't use. My nails and hair look great right now! lol I think hair loss is inevitable. I'm just hoping to have it as healthy as possible beforehand.

Getting those 64oz of water in, definitely! Ugh.

My mother tries to sabotage me too! Left all kinds of "goodies" at my house after xmas and I ASKED her not to bring that crap in my house. smh

I've put it in my shakes, and in oatmeal, yogurt and sf pudding. It's good!

Hi everybody! Rough couple of days, but today seems better. We've had horrible weather for 2 weeks straight and I think that contributed. I'm really liking the PB2!

Went back after 2 weeks but I worked 6 hours days for a week.

I was; I was on "soft foods" starting at week 4. The lower sugar Maple & Brown Sugar tasted so good to me!I swear we have a damn King Cake in the break room every day now! It's right outside my office and it's taunting me...Glad to hear you went and that you're on the mend! We were worried about you.MOST of these "protein" shots do not contain bioavailable Protein, which means that your wasting your money and punishing your taste buds for no reason! OTR, where are you???I had no idea what the connection was, but I, too, am having difficulty with both falling asleep and staying asleep since surgery. I expected to be a ball of energy at this point and all I am is SLEEPY! I've lost 35 lbs and I'm eating better than I probably ever have. I expected to feel GOOD, but I'm exhausted. I'm not sure what to do...Looking for an update...
