I would really concentrate on whether you feel actual hunger or mental hunger. Actual hunger will go away with a glass of water and twenty minutes. Head hunger lingers...

DOS 10/05/12

218.0 this morning!!! Surgery weight was 315...3# to go to my ONE HUNDRED POUND loss!!

That's what the hospital gave me. I have to use a straw BC if you drink it from the bottle, there's some weird film that covers your lips...I call them Oh Nooooo shakes

This is epic!!!!! Congratulations!! There's nothing worse than asking a 100# flight attendant for an extender!!!

Aaaaaaand clearly I'm rocking post-workout crazy hair.

Today I bought a dress in a...wait for it...LARGE!!!! Holla!!!!

I'm trying so hard to get to 5 miles...I have an hour max on the treadmill...I got to 4.77...I gotta get faster or learn how to get around the gym's time limits!!

A lot of people not only hit their first plateau at 2 weeks post op, but some (myself included at 6 months post op) go up a pound or two before the free fall starts again. Just hang in there and keep doing the right things!!

A BIG OL Vlassic Kosher Dill pickle!!

Head up, Sweetie!! It DOES get better. You ARE getting stronger!! Food is very much trial and error in the beginning!! Find an exercise you love and let the endorphins run wild!!

Ran 4.55 miles!! Thank you, Jesus for my health!!

Charlotte here!! I had surgery on 10/05/12 and I'm down 90#. I had surgery with Dr. Jon Pirrello from Southeast Bariatrics. I had surgery at Northeast Medical Center in Concord.

First of all, you look AMAZING!! I am so sorry someone who is clearly struggling and is unhappy has managed to make you second guess your huge accomplishment!! Chin up, gorgeous!! You look great!!

Wow!!! Congratulations!!!!! That's so great!!! I have 25# to go to get to ONEDERLAND!!

Oh for sure!! For me, my inner pessimist will say, "Oh, you're four months...five months...six months post op, you're done losing..." Tell her to shut up!! I wish I'd kept up with inches, but very much like everyone else, I know the inches will be falling off in those "stall" times...

So I'm wondering if anyone might have advice...I'm down 90# since surgery, but I've noticed that sitting at my desk makes my butt hurt!! First I thought maybe since there wasn't as much padding that was it, but then I thought maybe I'm holding my body wrong and I should sit differently...like when I had the kids, I would have to practice tucking my butt under because when I was pregnant, I stuck my butt way out to compensate for the belly...anyone else have this problem??

I'm like kisersassy...I'm 6 months out and I too stall two weeks each month. This is when I lose inches. I drop numbers for two weeks and then inches for two weeks. I'm down 90#. I keep a journal. It's easier to identify the patterns and shut that inner pessimest up!! Keep going!!

I had a sorta-fajita...2oz grilled chicken, tbsp cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and guacamole. Yummyyyyy!!

Actually completed my very first 10K!! Charlotte Racefest!! 6 months ago I couldn't jog more than a few minutes!! I'm so blessed!!!

I have a girlfriend who had to have one fixed 8 or 9 months post op. The doctor carefully worded the write up and INCLUDED the tummy tuck!! Lucky girl!

So there's an American, an Israeli, and a Russian in a hospital... Lol Seriously though, I am sending sane vibes your way and lots of well wishes for your biopsy. Hope the next couple of days fly by!!

I don't have that condition chronically, but when it comes on. I know it's dehydration. I up my water by about 25 oz and there is immediate improvement. Hope you feel better.

Today's NSV!!! Sooo Thankful!! [ATTACH]3178[/ATTACH]
