Counting blessings. I will read every post
I am thankful for the opportunity to live again, and fully. To be able to be a participant in this life rather than a spectator. I am thankful for so many things!

So it hits me...... No Beer!
I'm 8 months out, almost to goal, and I have an occasional brew. My favorite is angry orchard apple cider. It's beer but tastes like apple cider, I can't stand the taste of beer, lol! I've also had some Mike's hard lemonades, but they are to carbonated for me.

Fainting spells
I haven't actually fainted but the dizzy and blacking out of my vision. I found it is directly related to hydration and protein intake. If I'm low on one or the other I'm ok, but low on both and it really messes with me.

1.8-2 is what I average. I tend to lose nothing for weeks and then lose 3-5 lbs all at once.

Anybody got tattoos??
It depends on how much more you want to lose, and how much loose skin you have. Your best bet is to talk to the tattoo artist, they should be able to give you a better idea.

Ya, "you need to stop now", "HOW much more are you wanting to lose?", "you ARE still working with your surgeon?" I still have 4lbs until my highest healthy, and 13 until my goal, to give me a cushion/wiggle room. Dr. appraisingly looked at me, 2lbs ago, and stated I could be done (I think he lost his mind).I'm 5'4", CW 149lbs, pre-op 236, SW 219.8 and a 38 year old mother of 4.

St. Patrick's Day Challenge
Not to goal, but finally a real loss, 149.0. Trying to remember that a loss is a loss, no matter how great, and I'm one step closer to being where I want to be.

I eat a full container of yogurt with granola added in and have been for several months. Dr says it's fine. It's because it's a liquid like food and goes straight through the stomach.

Speed will come with time. Do what you can at the beginning and the rest will follow. The most important thing is just getting going ;o)
