239.5!!!!!!! Woohoooo!!!!!

Good morning! 250.2 this morning.

251.7 almost time for a new goal!!!!

258.4

Current weight 261.1 goal weight 250

HEY!!! That's cool!!! Thanks for this Challenge! I can't wait till the next one!

262. I made my first goal but missed my revised one by 2 lbs. I'm so excited to be this far!!!! Hopefully I can start the next one at260!

I still have restless leg problems and I am almost 5 weeks out. I notice it happens the more tired I am. So I have started going to bed a little earlier and for the most part it's helping.

Thank you so much for that!! I do need to remember that I am learning and if I make mistakes I will learn! One mistake is not the end. But I am going to try my hardest to not make mistakes.

I start stage 2 of my diet tomorrow. I get to add soft foods. I all of the sudden am scared. I'm so afraid I'm

Not going to make the right choices. That I am going to be tempted to cheat. That I'm going to fail. I had so many nightmares last night about loosing things that were important to me, or important to my job. My NUT is 4 hours away and I have another appointment with her next month.

My husband is being SUPER SUPPORTIVE. He is going to start eating what I eat starting tomorrow. I am just scared. Anyone else feel this way?

I love this!!! And at the same time it completely blows my mind. I am so excited to reach that part of my journey. It seems so unreachable at this point. But I know I can do it!!

263.8

I just told him I was going out for surgery no details worked with HR no details. Worked with my disability management company they needed all the details but that was because I used Short term disability. They got all the details from my doc but do not share it and they don't know me personally. (That happens when you work for a multi billion dollar company) 3 co workers know but that is because one is my best friend one is my inspiration for getting the surgery and the other is on my wellness team and I felt it was ok to share with him.

You have been warned!

So I started my period 1 week before surgery I have been flowing for 22 days. I'm tired of it. Anyone else go through this? I have a lady doc appointment Monday but good grief enough already.

Time to set a new goal. Let's go for 260 this time

Today's weight 272.27

It's always interesting to see the differences. I was Clear Liquids for surgery day plus the next 3 days then full liquids for 3 weeks then on to soft foods for 3 more weeks and then we discuss more at my next appointment.

Sunday's have always been rest days for my family. Sometimes we all get together for a big meal sometimes we just rest and eat. And eat. And eat. Today is the first "normal Sunday" of my new life. I'm doing ok a little sad but ok. I do really want the Mac and cheese my kids are having. Or some kind of treat or something. I am still on full liquids for another 10 days till I can move to soft foods. I'm doing really well just a little down today.

You may ask if you can just bring in a list. My doc wanted a list of medications that I possibly might take. Over the counter, supplements, PRN prescriptions Everything. They took my list and told me what I could take after and gave me what I needed while in the hospital. They took me off all of my supplements all over the counter stuff except Tylenol. And took me off 3 of my prescriptions. Basically they left me on my omniproziol , my antidepressant, and a Migraine med and added a Vitamin.

I already have an appointment 18 months after my surgery to get my IUD removed. Lol. the whole reason I even started looking in to the surgery was because my Reproductive Specialist suggested it after 5 years of losses and tests and diets and all kinds of failure. One requirement for me to have surgery was ether a DEPO shot or an IUD.

My head hunger has made a spectacular return. I know it's head hunger because, for example, I just finished 4 oz of Soup. And the only thing I could think about is crackers and then I WANTED crackers. I NEEDED crackers.

No clue why the craving is there nothing really happened I think it's actually boredom. I'm ready to go back to work but not until I can stay off the pain pills. I need to find a hobby.

I did go for a walk and while I was walking no cravings but I could only walk for like 15 minutes. Cravings came right back. I'm NOT hungry. I fact I'm almost too full because I drank some Water.

Any suggestions?

I got home yesterday after surgery on the 25th. Feeling so blah and full, hard to get the shakes down. Last nite was uncomfortable with nausea and had a hard time sleeping. Today is a little better, trying to stay positive...but it's hard.

You can do it! The first 2 days home were not that great. They were defiantly the worst. By Monday I was able to get out of the house and walk around the grocery store and it's all been uphill from there. I do still have some pain but it is manageable.

Yeah I did use double the Water. It usually does not get that thick. But I will play around with it.

Well I blended up some bean with bacon Soup and mixed in 1/2 a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder and started eating. Well as it cooled it got super thick like really thick pudding. I got about 4 spoonfuls in and had to stop. Now my sleeve is not happy with me. I'm going to try it one more time with just a spoonful of powder and if that still gets thick I will have to wait a couple more weeks to use it. Now I need to go rest my poor tummy.

food dreams. I dreamed last night I got super frustrated about something (I don't remember what) but I went and got a Subway sandwich and cooked 3 packages of Ramen noodles! I remembered after I dished it up that there was no way I was gonna eat that much so I put some

Of the broth and almost all of the noodles back. But I still say there and ate the entire sandwich!! Got to love crazy dreams.

First weigh in since surgery!! 279.1!!
