Heyher

I'm just over 6 months and noticing the same thing. Nothing sounds good. Nothing is appetizing. I have zero desire to eat anything. What isn't helping is I'm not hungry. I don't feel hunger. Not even head hunger right now. I know one of my meds can cause apatite loss. But this feeling is making it so hard for me to eat. I do Protein shakes so I get something. But if I didn't force myself, I could probably go a few days without eating. And that is a slippery slope I don't want to go down. I miss food. Not like it was before. But just the tiniest desire to eat something would be nice. One extreme to another. Neither of which I particularly enjoy. Pity party table for one? Oh that's me right here.

I was told yesterday I am withering away to nothing.... But when I look in the mirror, I still see my gut. I know it's a fraction of what it use to be. But it's going to take me a long time to see the results. I enjoy the compliments. Even the one about losing a ton. And I see the number on the scale. I see a big difference when I put my size 7/8 jeans up against my old size 20. But I long to see it in the mirror. I'm still fresh out compared to you vets. And 80% excess weight loss in just over six is not something I personally will see. But dang it, I want to. :-)

Mine took off two days. Day of surgery and day after. I had pain pills and he brought me broth in a thermos the morning he went back to work. All I did was sleep, sip, and shuffle around the house.

I had some plain air popped popcorn over the weekend. Have a popcorn maker that doesn't use oil, butter, nothing. That's a dangerous thing for me to have around. :-)

Goal was 170. Made it to 171.8 after stalling for over a month. But I'll take it.

My stall broke!!! I can officially say it!!!! After bouncing between 176.4 and 174.6 for over a month I now weigh 171.8. Missed my Labor Day goal by a pound. But who cares? Scale is moving again! Goal is 169 by sept 21. Fingers crossed I get there! 16lbs to goal.

Mine expires next year and I am getting married in October. So I'm sure when I get a new one with my new last name I'll get a new picture as well. That's fine. Hate my old pic. I look stupid in it. :-)

Buying size 8 skinny jeans and knee high boots.

My favorite pair of sliver jeans are too big. I got a 31 about two months ago and now even with a belt they are falling down. It doesn't help that I have no hips or butt. But I love these jeans... Guess I'll have to wait a while before I get new ones. :-(

Tee hee!!! I know. Maybe a pic of me from my bridal shower next weekend. Eek!!!!! :-D

And I bought size 8 skinny jeans & size 6 chords. Yippee!!!

So I got out an old pair of size 8 Tommy Hilfiger jeans and they fit. Madness....

Surgery 2/26/13 at rose with dr Snyder. Doing well and losing lots of weight.

You got hit on by Mimi in another thread...

I'm gunna do some jean shopping tonight. If I find something I like ill post a pic. Probably wont be silver jeans. Stupid wedding eating up my clothes money. SIX WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!

I am flattered but don't really pay too much attention. I'm taken and he loved me fat and skinny. So his opinion is the only one that matters to me.

HW 250 SW 245 CW 174 GW 154 Down 76 with 20 to go. Best decision ever.

Thank you so much guys!!

I get it at 6 months out. My BP is typically around 100/70-90/60 so they think it might be low. Also potassium, B12, and Iron deficiencies could cause that. Dehydration is always a good culprit as well.

Possible ripping fresh staple line Possible leak Possible bowel obstruction Possible infection Possible death I didn't cheat. It's not safe, not wise, and very counterproductive to why 85% of a persons stomach was cut out.

Don't think I'll make 170 by Monday. Unless I fast like crazy.... Yeah no thanks. But stall broke and I'm down 1/2lb this week so I'll take it. Maybe I can make it to 173.....
