Sleeve support group sounds good! I was thinking yesterday that I have noone to talk to about my journey and what I'm going through...most of my friends and family are either heavier and trying to lose a few...or skinny and have no clue...it would be nice to talk 2 people that are losing mass amounts of weight like us! Say when/where

As of today I am 8 weeks post-op. I have exceeded my goal of reaching my pre-pregnancy weight by christmas. I broke out all of my pre-pregnancy clothes and they all fit perfectly. Soo excited, and so glad I didnt give up on myself and throw them out..accepting myself at 233lbs. As of this passed Monday I now weigh 186lbs. I was sleeved August 8th, 2013. Weighing 216 thanks to a 14 lb weight loss on pre-op diet. (230) I was an old mlae aquaintance at the gym yesterday. My first thought was oh I hope he doesnt see me. I have tried to avoid seeing people that I havent seen since gaining weight from my pregnancy (50lbs) But it dawned on my, I am the same weight now as when I made my grand entrance into a friends wedding wearing a sexy black dress and turned a few heads (including his) I kept on walking kind of in awe at how far I have come in such a short time, and also realizing, that my mind has yet to catch up wih my new body. I am still 230 lbs in my head. But Let me tell you I feel great! I still have a long way to go, But as of today I cant wait for what the future brings. I reread my past blog entries from a few months ago and I was nearly in tears. This is truely the best decision I have ever made for myself. I have had NO issues with food what so ever. I can pretty much eat anything on my approved foods list. I did stall for over 2 weeks once I hot 191lbs. Then I had my AF and afterwards 5 lbs magically. During AF I had an overwhelming urge to graze during the day. I had me very worried that my appetite had increased and I was failing. But after the 5 lb weight loss I realized it was just that TOM. I do have to watch the grazing as i have 2 kids and its very easy to pick at their leftovers, and just snacking in general. I also find that after a meal I dont stay that full for long.. Not hungry but not FULL. I started back at the gym 5 days a week. Only 20 minutes on treadmill and 20 minutes or so of weight training. I found that I was hungrier after doing so much so I decreased my gym to 3 days a week but still try to get in a walk every day. I went to the mall the other day and didnt feel weird walking in regular size stores. I hated the clothes however because they all seem like oversized shirts. Hello,, wheres the tight tuck me in at the waist clothes. So at least I wasnt tempted to spend money.. lol My hubby and I booked an all inclusive getaway without the kids for my birthday February 23rd, 2014. I hope by then I will be at or near my personal goal of 145-150lbs. When we went away on our honeymoon I was 170lbs and felt great. I can only imagine being 145lbs. My next goal for myself is 170lbs which is my wedding weight and will try on my wedding dress! If I can meet this goal by Christmas/New years I will be thrilled. FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I HAVE FINALLY FOLLOWED THROUGH ON MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!

Started AF sept 21st..lasted 7 days exactly (nsv) usually with pcos it was like 10-14 days long...Then today I weighed I dropped 5 lbs..Hopefully the end to my stall...Thanks for all your responses!!!

incredible!!!!!

Love my mini muffin pan...getting so much use out of it

Opps I forgot to add the I added 2 scoops of non flavored Protein powder to the cauliflower which gave it and extra 20 grams of protein...whole recipe has about 44 grams or so of protein..I was able to eat 1/2 of what is the the picture

just made this tonight while my family ate my homemade real pizza..honestly they tasted the same..the crust was like a thin crust pizza..I even spread some hummus on the crust by itself and it was really really good!! The key is to be sure to bake it at 450 for 20 to 25 minutes....recipe. 1 head cauliflower cooked until soft...put in food processor add garlic and onion powder..or fresh...mix in 2 eggs and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese...spray baking dish of choice...layer should only be 1/2 inch thick..so depending on the size of pan you may end up making several pizzas..I made 4 with 1 head of cauliflower...after its cooked and browned on top..top with your fav pizza toppings and bake until cheese is melted on top....slice up like a pizza and enjoy...let me know if u try it and if u like [ATTACH]18810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18811[/ATTACH]
