      Good for you. It'll happen before you know it.

      Congrats!

  9. So many things to be happy about. I wore my watch for the first time yesterday in years, I got too big to wear it, but it fits again :) Also, yesterday, I was wearing a size 18 pants and my son said they looked too big. I didn't think that was possible cause I just bought them a few months ago, but he was right! Time to try a 16 and last year I was wearing a 22/24. SO EXCITING!

  17. Haven't checked in here for a while. I ended up with a herniated disc and had surgery on March 17th. I'm on the mend and down 63 pounds (Wednesday will be 16 weeks post op)!!!! Whoo hoo! So close to getting under 200 pounds. I weighed in at 212 this week. Highest weight this time last year was 301. Surgery day I was 275. Thrilled to be dropping this weight!!

  18. 11 weeks post op today and I'm down 46 pounds! I'm happy about this, but struggling with severe physical pain since Valentine's day :( I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow morning, but still won't have answers until the follow up appointment on March 5th. They think I might have a herniated disc!

    Anyone struggling with mental problems?

    I think this is normal. You're reinventing yourself. You need to get to know the "new you". Try to change your thinking to view this as an exciting adventure or journey. I know that's easier said, than done. Start with just trying to notice your thoughts, try not to let the negative ones lead to more negativity. Know that you're not alone. I am only 8 weeks post op, but I've been feeling depressed lately. I've always struggled with depression though, so it's nothing new. Keep getting support from where you can and believe that it will get better!!
  20. Today makes 8 weeks post op. I started my journey at 301, on the day of surgery I was 275, and this morning I was 240.

  21. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks since surgery. I'm feeling fine physically, but emotionally I've been kinda depressed. Not sure if it's surgery related or just this time of year. Any thoughts??

      R u exercising.. I know it is kind of hard to exercise when u feel down, but force yourself to do some walking. My personal experience is that when I get myself tired .i do get a little depressed..I then slow down and get needed rest. Hope u r feeling better soon.

      Exercise this time of year is necessary for me to feel better.Right now, I'm doing 20 minutes a day on the elliptical, and it's enough.

      Thank you all. I am on an anti depressant and have been for years, so this is not my first time feeling this way. I'm not exercising right now either :( I'm sure it would help if I did.

    Dinner

    From the album: Food

    I had leftover spaghetti squash that I didn't know what to do with. I picked up some frozen shrimp and low fat alfredo sauce, put it all together in a large skillet, and it was YUMMY!!

    Alcohol?

    Maybe I'm not the best person to answer, but I'm going on 7 weeks post op and had my 1st drink last night. I did fine, but I sipped the same drink for well over an hour. Keep in mind that we are all very different and it could affect you differently than someone else. It's certainly not going to be a regular thing for me, but I was at a celebration and took it very slowly to see how I would handle it. Good luck making your decision and know that it is quite possible to have fun without having a drink
