BCs 1000

When I was morbidly obese I had some terrible falls. A tiny bump in the footpath would catch my toe and I would come crashing down on my hands and knees.
This morning while walking and emailing (yes, stupid) I tripped on a speed hump on the road. My body tipped really far forward and I waited for the pain.
Instead, my body totally corrected itself. I wish I could describe the feeling better. It was like my body had total control. My brain said stay upright and my body complied. It was exhilarating.

151

No change this week. Final weight 128lbs.
Thanks so much Sarah

Worked some overtime this weekend to cover a buddy's team for him.
I've known the folks on his team and the many other folks outside of his department for years but don't see them all very often.
I was flooded with many questions. The main one being, "How have you been losing the weight ?".
I gave the exact same answer every time. "Thanks. I had wls last October and have been following my surgeon's instructions since."
One guy really kept after it.....grilling me. Follow up question after question. I answered each to the best of my ability and spoke simply from my experience. He finally disclosed the fact that he and his wife are very concerned for their daughter and are in the beginning stages of seeking bariatric solutions for her.
The next day he found me and approached grinning from ear to ear and extending his hand. He said he talked to his wife and they are proceeding......and with the same bariatric center I used. He seemed very relieved. It made my weekend.
Relief is out there. Folks can find it.

199.4lb today - only 1.1lb above goal, but who cares, because... onederland!
That's also a total loss for me of 99.21lb since I started the whole process in January 2015 - so close to that hundred mark.

Starting weight - 128
Challenge goal weight - 122

Thank you for hosting

@vsgSarah3. Thanks for the Memorial Day challenge and for administering. I now know what commitment it takes to manage this. And for those of u participating in the 4th of July challenge, please double post in both threads. Your final weight here and that weight as your starting weight (and a goal please) in the 4th of July challenge. What a challenge it will be! Starting on a holiday and including another holiday towards the end!

4th of July Challenge: Red, White and Blue: Whole New You!http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/368488-4th-of-July-Challenge%3A-Red%2C-White-and-Blue%3A-Whole-New-You%21

Oh yeah, my craving substitute...
I used to crave a nice long sleep in before waking up to a nice, hot, triple espresso...
I've replaced that with 4am wake up calls, cold trips to the gym and alternating between protein-induced diarrhea and constipation...
Yeah...
F*cking brilliant!!!

Protein Powder mug cake! Fast, easy, and hits the spot when I want chocolate or cake.

4 days after surgery, I was dying for something crunchy. Anything!' I took corn chips that they serve with salsa dip.. Fat free and all. I took one piece, chewed it and then spat it out. Then I rinsed my mouth and cried a little in shame...

big mac salad.
a little romaine lettuce chopped up, topped with my ground meat mixture that has melted shredded cheddar in it, topped with a tsp of thousand island dressing, 1 green onion chopped, 1 dill pickle slice chopped and some sesame seeds.

Yep...
It sure sux...
But it's gotta be done...
I did 4 weeks with no guarantee of the procedure going ahead at the end of it...
Stick with it @@Capri3Js
The results you'll see are well worth the sh*t you're going thru now...

I'm in. My goal is to maintain at or below 155lbs. Will post start weight 5/30. Thanks!
