193.6 I have a feeling I won't be making my original goal by the end of this... would be happy to just reach 189. Would it be okay to adjust it to that on the spreadsheet? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think I tried to find those chicken skewers that someone mentioned when I had previously done a "Costco" search but couldn't find them at my costco I get my original Babybels, Morningstar original sausage patties (not real sausage), Premier Protein shakes, and canned tuna from Costco. My boyfriend gets his own things from there. We don't really eat any of the same foods. The Babybels are the most important, though. I go through those the fastest

My supervisor also asked me what kind of surgery I was getting. It was really strange to me. I think I said that I was having surgery on my stomach - from there she could have guessed a variety of different things such as WLS or something that was more medically threatening like a tumor, but I didn't get into any other specifics. I had a long and difficult recovery (about a month and a half until I felt like I could even leave the apartment) and they knew I was having a hard time. Luckily I work from home so I was still able to work even though I was feeling pretty terrible, although I did take off the first 2.5 weeks.

217.8 Birthday week and I indulged a bit lol

CW: 217.2 GW: 207 I'm actively losing.

Final weight is 217.2 Missed goal by a few but still not too bad. Hopefully I'll be able to get to my goal in the next challenge. Thanks for all the work you've done running these challenges, Sarah.

I'm in. Thanks!

219.8 Hoped I'd lose a little bit more this week but oh well. Won't be making my goal again. Hopefully next week will be better!

226.2. Slow month for me

I was experiencing Water nausea for about one and a half months after surgery. I told my surgeon about it and he prescribed Zofran for me. Took care of that nausea stuff right away. Then I was able to figure out on my own when i didn't need to take it anymore... Probably around the 3 month mark. Then i was fine drinking water on my own. I'm almost 7 months out now and can gulp down water from bottles with no discomfort just like I did pre-sleeve. I just noticed this recently, though. It's quite a relief because sometimes I just get thirsty and want to gulp the whole bottle down lol. Edit: Also forgot to add that for a while, the only thing I could tolerate was plain red original Gatorade. I was hardly getting fluids or food in for a while so it was what I used. I was vomiting for about two months either after I ate or when I wasn't feeling well - like when taking a shower. I actually grayed out in the shower once. Luckily my boyfriend was there with me helping me shower so he helped me out so I could try to get to my bed. I didn't make it there, though, lol... Had to lay down on the floor (and vomit). Good times. I've never really posted my post op experience on BP but I'm definitely in the small minority of people who didn't have an easy recovery. Mine was truly hell for a while. I was just lucky it wasn't anything too serious that would have required me to go back to the hospital.

227.8. Time of the month Just to forewarn, I'll be posting my weight next Tuesday as I'll be out of town on Monday. Thanks!
