It's rough out there, try to stay earnest, vigilant and willing.

Currently: Boo'd Up

I remember discussing my reasons/thoughts about surgery and life after. I was honest but cautious (didn't want to send redflags that didn't exist, or seem unwilling to contemplate anything further) But I was completely myself. Safe Journey!

Hugs and Safe Journey!

Congrats and plan for it to stay off!

Broths, teas and warm drinks help considerably!

Don't stress, it is highly unlikely that it is fat. Plenty of things effect the numbers on the scale. Fat gain and loss is really what we are all watching for, because it is unnecessary storage. Other fluctuations will happen regularly. Kudos on catching the pattern and repairing it quickly. (I gain and lose every month. The joys of womanhood lol) Safe Journey!

When you go in for your final appt, let the office manager or surgeon know you want to be scheduled ASAP when approved. Even that you will take a cancellation date if someone drops out (if you are really in a rush) Safe Journey!

Around 60 days to make it steadily to the required amount daily

Yogurt, nuts , cheese crisps, protein bars, tea, plain coffees and water.

I tried Isotretinoin prior to WLS and can only say IMHO it is not worth the risks. I found the topical retinoid much more effective. Safe Journey!

Real hunger

Photojournal your progress

Power through until purees! Everything changes with different stages Safe Journey!

I usually use lettuce as bread

Stay vigilant and you'll do great! Safe Journey!!!

Honestly I've never been on a diet before (besides vegan lifestyle) so I'm curious to see how it all plays out. I get hungry and realized that I could just have something to drink instead of eating. How is everyone else dealing wit hunger?

Hi, some of us will lose slower than others. This is still ok. It all adds up in the end. You have the next year and a half to work on actively getting to a goal , then going further or maintaining. Try to be patient and kind to yourself.

No IF for me until I return home... Hope everyone is having a great day!

Join these groups instead, Safe Journey!

Following everyone! Follow back!

Live your royal life babe!
