Haven't gotten to 'last meal' thoughts yet. But my 'lasts', yeah. But looking at it in a celebration way. Not a 'death row' last. Going to a fondue restaurant next week since I've never been to one. That's a 'last' too. I've had a Blizzard in CA when visiting my daughter. Been there, done that one. Lol

Have you been checking your measurements? if your exercising, maybe gaining muscle? I'm not post op, so only thoughts. Sorry. It will work out though. Hang in there.

LOL Sounds good. I have plans to go to the original Peter Luger's for the best steak in the world! Not my last meal before but it's gonna be most memorable dinner. You enjoy! That's all that matters. And realize it's all a beginning!

That's awesome! You go Girl!!!!!!

Welcome, found a great place. For all parts of your new life. Amazing group of helpful peoples!

Have you been checking your measurements? It must be difficult to see the numbers stop early but know that as long as you do everything right, it will happen. Since I'm pre, I can't pull from my experience in this but do know, as I got older, weight didn't come off as quickly. Plateaus hit earlier for me. I'm sorry your dealing with this so soon. But hang in. I know it will begin melting soon!

Good for you Jenn! You're gonna do well!

What a great POST! May borrow it, if needed. LMAO

That sounds like a really good plan. You're on a cycle that is going to play havoc with your emotions. I can so understand all you're feeling starting with the office staff. I've had my problems with them in my Dr office too. They're evrywhere. Just realize, you're dealing wiht a lot right now you're not going to be able to handle everything that comes up like the 'champ' you are. Give yourself a break and only handle what you need to. What you can't do anything about, let it go. Try not to beat yourself up about 'things'. You have a long road, pace yourself. (I know, I'm beginning to) I agree about Atkins' plan too.

Oh, you'll go nuts if you go around comparing you to someone else. Everyone's structure is different. Bones weigh different, muscles add weight. No one ever beileved my weight because I was always heavier than I looked. (And believe me they were NOT being nice to me!) You have to go by what's right for you. Don't make it more difficult on yourself.

That's fantastic!!!! All the best!

Haven't had surg yet but have heard of using child sippy cups. I suppose that is to regulate how much you get in one sip?

Oh you are loking great! 25 is a fantastic loss and losing like that is better for elasticity of skin!

I do hope your county has Women's Services in the Executive offices. They can be a big help. Do look into it even if you aren't doing anything now. Just to have the info for when needed.

Well, you have lots to think about now. It's up to you how and when after you look into whatever can help you and your children to get out and grow after this. You will be fine. Don't do what I did and hang in for 31 years until he left. Get your life started as soon as you can. Much strength being sent to you!
