Well isn't that just the cats meow? I can too and love it. Congrats on a milstone.

so many things......
We now sit in booths again also,
Not being SOB with showering or walking to the bathroom and back
Painting my own toenails
wipe my butt (TMI) I know but it was starting to become an issue
Walking into the convience store and embarrased because all I was buying was chips, doughnuts and soda and it was all for me!!
Ordering a "normal" size meal and taking 3/4 of it home for 3 additional meals.
getting out of a chair without grunting.
Any many more

I was allowed coffee at 3 weeks, I have two cups per day. Everyday!

You are still pretty early in the process. Try eating smaller amounts every 2-3 hours and see if that helps. I am 9 weeks out and still eat several times a day. Mostly Protein still.

If you have all those people on your side, then you will be just fine without your mom and sisters help.
Also do you have local support groups? That will help a lot too.
Your family will come around, may not be at first but you will at least be able to go shopping with them in the future. If you want to that is
Best of luck

Thank you all!! I look to these forums for support! Truthfully the only support I have is my girls (10 & 8) my Ex (their dad) and my 8 year forever man.
Getting your support means soooo much!

Just bought these a couple of weeks ago and I love them. Easy to prepare and very tasty. Multiple flavors so I don't get bored. These are great and keep you on track. Big thumbs up.

Heck yeah I did, 2 beautiful bites of strawberry shortcake. And no guilt. We are human for goodness sake. Best thing is, a very small amount is all I needed. And I will be doing that again soon

I have lost over 40 lbs and nobody says a word. But I have gone down almost 2 sizes so feel great about it. I think the more you have to lose the longer it takes for people to notice. Just my opinion.

yep, the only reason they found it early was because of preop testing for WLS. Literally saved my life! In more ways than one.

I agree. No need to tell them what you are going to have done. Tell them there will be several preop appointments that you may need off for, but you will try to schedule them after work hours if possible. That is fair enough .

Well, can't really help with the piercing stuff but my boobs have shrunk and are more saggy and it has only been 8 weeks. But I am 55 years old too! lol

I have been fat all my life. Never have been able to cross my legs like a lady. I can and always have been able to sit crossed leg though. I am hoping in the future I can just sit like a lady, instead of just at the ankles ! LOL

@@judyoz - hope the surgery for your kidney removal goes well - I think like @@Daisee68 said you get a pass!

Interesting......... thank you!

It is grilled and in the freezer section t the store. I am impressed and it is a perfect portion. 15 grams of Protein and two meals per box. If you like grilled fish, give it a try. I even microwave it. I bought salamon and cod also.
