@Apple1 I was feasting on tortillas (wraps and tacos), including rice. I think it might be the water weight because I woke up yesterday and dropped the 2lbs. I am not sure how I feel about us getting back together yet. I really just want him to get himself and his insecurities in check. I really do adore him and he was really instrumental and supportive of this decision (when people weren't). However, I cannot get how he acted out of my head. That is a great song lol.
@Newme17 I am happy that I could get back on track. Once I saw the 2lbs weight gain, I was like, "Oh hell no!". I immediately started planning my meal prep for the week. I was like honey bunny it is time to get back on track. I really think that he needs more time. Yes missing me and hanging out is cool and we are great friends but he really needs to get things right for himself.

Yayyy!!! Keep up the great work!!! You got this!!

@Sweet as peaches I am glad you are feeling better. You must have really been into the balloon tennis game. At least you had fun!!

You can do it. Like Nike slogan says Just do it!!!!!!!

I'm sorry about the break-up. However, your ex-boyfriend appears to have become more insecure and unconfident as you became more secure and confident.

The good and the bad - it sucks to be in a break-up, but it's great when you know you are better off than being in a toxic relationship. I'm perpetually single (always have been, probably always will be) but I really don't understand the partners of people who go through bariatric surgery. What did they think would happen?
I've been going through something similar - I recently reunited with my birth father (!) - very unexpectedly - and despite him saying he has a "big heart" he often goes hot (always emailing me) and cold (ignoring me if I say something he doesn't like, or in the most recent case, postponing our first meet-up). However, I found out about him about 2 months after surgery and even then I was pulling back a bit because all I could think about was "I don't need this drama in my life right now, I can't afford to go off the rails because of emotional ups and downs" - but it's hard to know the right way forward.

My boobs are also full of loose skin. They don't fall out of my bra (I'm not sure they ever would do their shape I guess) but I feel I will probably need to go to a B cup soon (I was a very full D at the time of surgery). I'm already saving up for the breast lift I know I'll need to have.

Wow...I thought he was a keeper. Seems like underlying issues in his life are insecure and jealous, after all. I'm sorry it happened this way, yet I'm happy that you have a new found confidence. No need for all that extra mess. Take care of you, be happy and positive, and live life!!!

Don't worry about the boobs... you can fix or were a better bra.
the BF thing..... as you know i was married for 26 years... the last 6 were Hell!! He also hated that i lost weight and said that me losing weight was the worst thing that ever happened to our marriage. Things he said were changes in me:
6/26 - I had a bad day. My bf and I broke up. He stated that he preferred me bigger and that had he known things would change that he would have never supported the decision. When I asked how things changed, he stated the following:
1) You put on makeup more
2) You get your nails done more
3) You do your hair more
4) You dress differently. You do not cover up as much
5) Guys look at you more (Ding! Ding! Ding!)
6) They hit on you more (Jackpot!!)
7) You attitude has changed
8) You're too "outgoing" for me
9) You want sex tooooo much
...... sound familiar....
So last year i told him i wanted a divorce... he moved out and we divorced at the beginning of the year.

@Dee's Journey thank you!!

@Newme17 Thank you!!! Yes I put ice in mines. In addition, I place it in the freezer for 5 - 10 minutes. I know it is against the rules but it makes my water colder too. I cannot help it. I ended up telling her no for now. I just like trying new things all the time. I am one of those people that tries something just for the experience.
@Mowryrocks I know that Isagenix has been around for awhile. I consider anything that I try in which someone recommended it to me a "fad". That includes clothing, cars and my job lol.

I think you can do it. It would mean the world to him and also remind you of how far you have come.

You got this. I work out and my body is not toning the way I thought it would. I am giggly baby lol. It is okay. I think once the fat is gone, that is when our toning truly begins. It is just right now our body's are still getting use to the lack of food and are trying to stay in survival mode.

@Newme17 you are a life saver. I have been trying to find an arm and chest workout that will actually help me prevent loose skin. My legs are great because I have strong legs and the workouts work but I feel like my arms, chest, back and tummy are my struggle areas.

@Apple1 C4 is a pre-workout. It is like an energy drink but for people who work out and not as strong. It is used for people who are tired and need that boost to workout.
@Newme17 I love it sooo much. I am at 31 oz. I still have 8 more hours to go. I think I can get closer than I did yesterday. I will admit that since trying to keep up with the water intake my hunger has gone down a lot. I need to be mindful of my eating habits because I am not eating as much as I should or did before.

@Sweet as peachesI created this sheet myself. I can make one for you if you like.

It's been two months!? Wow. Great job hon. Also very happy you couldn't keep that donut. 😊

Yeah, I'm in that stage too, although I'm slowly adding in more complex carbs. Slowly! I can't stand my breath. LOL

I have a few freinds that are doing the KETO DIET. They are doing great. Most of them have had WLS. My hubby tried his hardest to do Keto but the meal plan, was to prep the food form the part of the week. We were set up with recipes for that week. But he really didn't care for the food. I DON'T care for leftovers so I didn't even try it. But I think it is a great program for sure. I have heard and seen lots of peeps doing great on it. Good Luck

Honestly @Sweet as peaches I can say that I thought I would not achieve the success that I have so far. I thought I would fail or my desire for junk food would take over. The key to success is to never worry about where someone else is in their journey but to focus on yours. The reason I say that, is because that person that you think is doing way better than may feel like they are not achieving as much as you are.
Hard work, dedication and faith will push you forward. I sometimes look at others success in my Facebook support group and it brings me down. The look amazing and I felt like I didn't. I felt like I did not achieve as much and why is it taking so long. Honestly, I have kept a track of my loss every week. As you can see, I have had some bad weeks were I have barely lost anything but then I have great weeks. I focus on those bad weeks to see what I could have done better and try to make the next week count.
This sheet is something that I hold dear to myself and I am comfortable to share with you. So when you think I am doing amazing, know I am struggling just like you are.
