    Can u guys give me an example of a day and what u eat? I seem to always be hungry because im not eating right/enough starting weight 298' date=' current 183, goal 150[/quote']

    Not sure how normal I am either, but here's today's fare:

    Breakfast 1 scoop unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein and 1.5 cups coffee flavored almond milk and a low fat string cheese

    lunch low fat organic vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of raspberries and no sugar added rice pudding cup

    snack 1/2 Budi superfood bar (they're local; kind of like a raw bar)

    dinner will be 1 or 2 ounces of seitan steak (vegetarian 'meat') with 1/4 mashed potato and 1/4 cup of acorn squash with a little butter and salt.

    Probably will have the other half of the Budi bar for dessert.

    It'll be about 1000-1200 calories total.

    Special Note: some of my posts have some serious spelling errors and i am aware of this fact' date=' my defense is that I commute to work on a trolley line that is 100 years old ( seriously ) and its gets rocking & rolling :-) im sure you can figure out the rest[/quote']

    LOL!

    I really wonder what' date=' physiologically, could be happening that several are hungry and feeling big frustration. I keep wondering if it isn't because of the estrogen-fat release depression the doctor told me about. I mean we're burning pounds and fat, hearing good comments but not yet seeing a supermodel in the mirror, feeling better but not yet marathon ready, losing our hair (me), puking occasionally when we eat a bite too much (anyone else occasionally worried we're a shade too close to bulimia), happy weight is coming off while criticizing ourselves for the ugly jiggly fat folds, and we're just so accustomed to failing that we keep waiting for the next shoe to drop and ruin it all. I think therapy, support groups, and time can help but people nature is to want everything perfect now and we've learned to be impatient far longer than we've learned to be patient. As hard as it is, seems to me at this point we just have to give ourselves permission to "be", "settle", and "just accept" where we are in this moment in this vessel. We can and will DO this together![/quote']

    Thank you, that was really helpful! You said it perfectly.

    It's gotta be something to do with surgery cause the past 5 days I've been in such a funk. I'm so depressed for some reason and I have no idea why. I've been miserable. All I wanted to do today was curl up in a ball and sleep. I don't like feeling like this but I can't seem to snap out if it.

    Hugs, me too. Hope it passes soon.

    Struggling. Not sure why. Maybe freaking out a bit? I have a great therapist who helps me a lot so that's a blessing.

    Have you all noticed how sometimes the changes in your bodies seem to happen overnight? I'm more than 25 lbs lighter than i have ever been in my adult life, and I think that the latest changes are what's wigging me out. I've never seen this girl. More and more people are making comments (very positive comments). Yet I'm the same girl inside.

    Anyway, thanks for the vent room.

    Hi Junies, I'm struggling and I need to verbalize, lol! Anyone else having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that they have more to lose -- that they aren't done yet? I've lost 71 lbs and have reached uncharted territory about 20 lbs ago. In other words I've never been this weight in my adult life. I still have 50 more lbs to lose till my goal, and it's really hard to believe that I will keep losing. The scale has only moved 4 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm afraid my mental attitude is causing the slowdown.

    Also I have been slacking on the exercise. I went to they gym this week after a 3 week absence and discovered that the workout I was doing is way too easy for me now. I mean, I barely broke a sweat. How does this happen so fast? So the next day I amped it up and lo and behold the scale started moving again.

    Sometimes I just sit in awe of what is happening to my body. It's wild and scary sometimes!

    Thanks for listening. <3

    Thanks for the encouragement. I sure hope wonderland is soon! I feel like none of my friends and family understand. They all like to say' date=' but look how much you have lost. I am thankful for those pounds that are gone, but I am so ready to go lower![/quote']

    Don't worry you will continue to move forward!

    I'm struggling too but a bit differently. I'm at 226-- lowest I've ever been in my adult life by about 25 lbs, and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I need to (and will) lose more. My goal is 175, so I've got a good way to go. But I don't even recognize myself. All my friends, co workers- all who are very supportive and so happy for me- think I look great, but they are seeing me like I've never been as well.

    I have to really believe and know that I am NOT DONE YET! I need to keep losing and get to my goal. I am so grateful for this forum and knowing I'm not alone.

    How many ounces are you guys eating in a serving? I am still only able to get about 3 maybe 3.5 ounces in during a meal. I measure and weigh all my meals. Is this pretty average to the rest of june surgeries?

    Yep, I'm right there, super stuffed if I eat much more.

    Had my 3 mo checkup the other day. Doc said I was right on track, 70 lbs off since I started the journey! Woot.

    Unfortunately I also have the WORST period of my life (sorry tmi guys). I've been off since surgery and this one came 2 weeks late. Worst headaches, cramps, horrible. Womp, womp!
