I've experience worse things in life. He just caught me off guard. I left the gym thinking, did that just happen? Weird moment. -

Wow! you are one.😉 Most of us get these random comments from people. I just haven’t had one in a LONG time. It happened much more when I was in weight loss phase. after 80 pounds down, I walked by a secretary sitting at her desk. She reached out and gabbed my thigh and said “you are so little” We don’t even BBQ together and she was latched on to my leg *laughing* -

I’m lucky that my gym is family friendly. Not many gym creepers. I don’t think this guy was hitting on me. He was straight up ready to tell me how to diet and workout. Some time I'm clueless when it comes to men. Love to hear a guys perspective on things. -
Love that people are comfortable in their skin and rock fantastic clothing. I'm also ok with my flat butt. I’ve always been self-conscious about my chest. I’m working on not giving a damn *lol*

Crazy, right? Never touch a woman with PTSD (15 years working in a mens prison) I was ready to toss him to the ground. -

Some people don’t realize how much these comments mess with our heads. You are adjusting to a smaller size/appearacnce. Most mean well, they are adjusting to our rapid change. Over time they will get used to your weight loss. Comments and compliments stop. life becomes normal. I look at before and after photos. All of them look younger to me.

Not Running to Food for Coping
Healthy_life2 replied to StrongButterfly's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Fantastic advice above. None of us get to avoid stress and major life issues (Family/friend’s passing away, Illness, divorce, financial difficulties. etc.) Be prepared and develop a plan. @FluffyChix post on doing the headwork is a great resource. -
Sugar/Sweet Cravings
Healthy_life2 replied to dee0128's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi Dee, One month out and its hard to navigate your new food world. It will get better with real food stage. Practice becomes habit. Hang in there. Some suggestions and things to think about. Make sure the options any of us give you fit your plan and food stage: Read the back of food labels. log your food in an app and stay within your weight loss calories/macros Most instructions are to eliminate real sugar. For many of us, when you consume real sugar, processed food, and extra carbs you crave them more (they cause hunger) detox off them and buy healthy options for sweet and salty. (get temptation out of the house) Dannon lite and fit Greek yogurt Small amount of fresh fruit. Strawberries dipped in sugar free chocolate syrup. Sugar free protein products are a good solution. (more bang for your buck) Just because it’s a sugar free product. It does not mean its calorie and carbohydrate free. Not all protein bars/shakes/cookies etc. are created equal. Some are glorified candy bars. Read food label’s. I personally like quest bars because of the calories/macros. Sugar free candy has sugar alcohols. Test them on your new stomach. They can cause you to dump. Protein powder added to sugar free pudding -
Food Before and After Photos

Maintaining. this was two meals. 7 oz of meatloaf. (Ground turkey, egg, hemp hearts, tomato sauce and seasoning) 2.2 oz 50/50 salad mix and 2 marinated artichoke hearts. Consumed all of it. -
On days that I didn't see myself as smaller, I put on my size 24 pair of jeans and looked in the mirror. Hilarious to see them falling off. Size six is great, right? Enjoy it. Seeing yourself correctly takes time. Its a strange experience. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

@tal 70 lost in five months is fantastic. 65 pounds to go. You never know where exercise can take you. Be open to the possibilities. find what you enjoy and be consistent. Use it as “me time” and self care. (Don't let anyone interrupt) It’s another way to develop healthy habits. You can use it to replace stress/emotional eating and process life’s issues. Start slow and build up. What gets you motivated to workout?? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Exercise is a choice. The next the next seven month are going to go by if you workout or not. Decide where you want to be in your first year. Some days I need perspective, not motivation. A cancer patient with three months to live would gladly trade places for our weight loss struggles. If you workout during the winter, what could your body look like by summer? Motivation to exercise can be hard, bariatrics is hard and being obese is hard. Choose your hard. Exercise will compliment your weight loss. For many of us, the last 20lbs are difficult to lose. Each month’s choices are the next month’s body. Weightlifting (gym or home) can help fill the loose skin a bit. If it’s important to you, you will find a way to get it in. If it’s not you will find excuses

Give yourself time to heal and rest. See you on the weight loss side.

Surgeons food progressions all look different. I don’t think I could tolerate steak in the first month. -

Wow, I need to clean the dust off my mirror. Ten-pound bounce and my clothing still fit’s. No one notices my weight bounce. Clothing is a little bit tighter. Capsule wardrobe is helping to maintain. Some of my investment pieces are four years old. I refuse to buy smaller or larger sizes.

Capsule wardrobe Same Nike golf pants and loafers. Sweater is one of four in my closet.
