@kathico Hi.....My journey is going pretty well. I was 6months out on April 27th. My recovery from surgery went way better than I anticipated. I am a big baby so I thought it would be horrible and it wasn't. My new tummy really tolerated almost anything I put in it. I did follow my docs orders to a T for the first 5 months I would say. I really wanted to utilize this tool I was given for all it was worth. I have vacationed in March and did great, came home I was down two pounds!! Was really happy about that. Even though my tummy will tolerate just about everything, I still try to put only good in it. I'm not always 100% there but I would say I am about 90% good now.
Besides my restriction I feel pretty normal. This is just my new way of life. I try to get to the gym or do something 3-4 times a week, and if that doesn't happen I don't beat myself up about it. I do get between 65-80grams of Protein in a day and most days I have about 72oz of liquid. I still log, track and weigh my food. Logging in my written journal is a must to keep me on track.
As of today I am down 94lbs. I really really wanted to be at 100lbs lost at 6 months but I am still pretty proud of myself. I have a gorgeous pair of black wedges that we bought for when I hit my 100lb loss. They are just sitting in the box taunting me, waiting to be worn. We are going on vaca May 22nd and I was hoping to be able to take them with me, but I am not sure if that will happen. My husband and 16yr old daughter are holding them hostage. LOL
I hope you are doing well with your journey. Good luck with everything, and I am usually on here daily at one time or another!! Keep posting and reading this is a great website!!!
