    Wow everyone is doing so great and is so close to their goal. I am having issues staying on track but I found a 5-day pouch test that I think I might try. Hopefully I can survive it and not cheat.

    I think I have finally hit one-hundred land. I am hoping that it stays under 200 even with family here. I have made quite a few good choices and my uncle and his wife see a major change in me. I actually said no to garlic bread, because it wasn't worth it. I did say yes to the Pasta and martini but I am making choices. I actually have 2 days left of Pasta but ended up getting rid of 1/2-1/3 of the pasta so it is more seafood than pasta now.

    Everyone is doing so amazing. I am afraid I might be a surgery fail. I just cannot stay on track with the diet so I have stalled if not stopped my weight loss. My psychologist says it could be self sabotage, but I honestly don't know. In my mind I know I shouldn't be eating what I did before but I just want to be able to eat what I want, when I want. I also know I am not getting in enough Protein or liquids but I am having issues forcing myself to drink Protein Drinks (not working). I have family coming in next week and we of course are doing the "eating tour of Maryland". I go I will be good after, then after they leave comes my birthday.

    I just had my gull bladder out last Tuesday so I am on working out restrictions. I think I majorly overdid it yesterday because we went to the fair. I walked around a good 4-5 hours but I did have some funnel cake (1 bite) and a fried Oreo (one bite). I was also helping mom carry things and probably went over my weight limits. My surgeon said no treadmill incline until I am 2 weeks out so I am going to go back (or start going) to the gym the Monday I come back from vacation. I know that I cannot walk on a treadmill and have no incline, also I want to do weight things and those are a no no.
    Most of the places for the eating tour I will be fine at (they are old favorites where I actually like the Protein there). Other places I am completely screwed (crapes). Honestly I don't really want a crape, its good but not worth the carbs (id rather use them elsewhere). I know next week I will also be out a lot more walking.
    I think my biggest issue is yes I have is that I do not see the weight loss. I have went down to a 18 from a 24 but I do not see it. Everyone else says that they see it and only recently I have started taking measurements but they aren't showing anything.
    I am in Northern Montgomery County (Gaithersburg/Rockville).

    Everyone is doing so good. I have lost around 60-70 lbs. I had a major set back and yesterday had my gull bladder taken out. I will once again not be able to go to the gym. It seems soon as I feel better, I then have something happen and am unable to go to the gym. I have also had tons of issues with craving carbs, especially when my stomach hurt. I have tried to be good but honestly I haven't.

    I had stones in my gull bladdar. I was having issues eating and therefore wouldn't eat until I was forced to. Doctor was doing testing and had actually gotten the results of the ultrasound and bloodwork back saying that it was bad. I ended up in the ER at 2am with really bad pain so instead of being scheduled I got fit into the next day. I was actually released same day (I had surgery at 4:00 pm and home by 10:00 pm.) The surgery was Tuesday, I was home today resting (I ran some errands but mom drove), tomorrow I plan on going into work. I don't have a ton of leave due to the fact that I missed 3 weeks due to my bariatric surgery. I am supposed to have family coming in 2 weeks and wanted to spend the week off with them.

    I started at 269 and I am now 206.5. My surgery was March 31. I have been having a real struggle with cheating lately so my weight loss has slowed. I also need to go back to the gym. I am freaking out about the hair loss and trying to do everything I can to stop it or slow it down, but according to my dermatologist I just have to wait it out and get in more Protein.

    I am the same way with Protein Shakes, if I see another one again in my life I will burn it with fire. I have an appointment with the therapist tomorrow which I am dreading because I couldn't even keep one habit for a month. I know I need to do better - record my food, eat properly, exercise, but it is so hard to keep on track. Monday I had to get a cortisone injection in both wrists so that made me not go to the gym this week, I am still wearing my braces and the one wrist hurts like hell.
    I am never hungry so actually forcing myself to eat is a change. Honestly I would rather go home and go to bed then go home, fix dinner, and eat it. I know that this is bad so I have been really trying to be good and eat at least some Protein.< /p>
    My liquid consumption is horrible, I was not a big drinker before surgery and am still not a big drinker. I am lucky if I get 40oz in a day and that is a struggle. It is better than the 20 I got in before surgery but I know the surgeon would be mad.
