I feel amazing. In all the ways everyone has already posted about but especially self confidence and in general just being a stronger person not worrying about “it all” I still obsess with diet - I think we have to or end up right back where we were. This “magic” of the wls is work from the get go but as time passes the pendulum swings to more of our own accountability toward what we have learned as our new lifestyle of eating healthier and in portions that are appropriate . At this stage we need to follow those new found / learned rules so yea, for me - diet will be something I focus on for the long haul. It’s a completely amazing and transformational journey both physically and emotionally. Good luck to you!

Hang in there- it gets so much better . Just focus on each stage and you’ll be ok in no time :)

Congrats to you!! Love the big smiles!!

Completely thrilled with mine. Easy recovery (thankfully) and no food issues . I love the confidence and general feeling of NOT worrying about what I look like, how I sit, what others see or how I feel (tired and sore). It’s definitely hard work to rethink food relationship and emotions but for me, 1,000% worth it! Good luck.

A reminder that our water intake amounts correlates to weight . Interesting article and chart https://www.healthcentral.com/article/drink-more-water-heres-why?ap=2003

Twice a week- first thing in the morning and naked haha every ounce counts ?

You’ll be fine, breathe!! Honestly it’s over before you know it. Do things today that keep your mind off of it... then remember the reasons why you’re doing this. You’ve got this. Yes it’s hard but so worth it. Come onto these boards often- it helps. Good luck tomorrow- you’ll do just fine!

It gets far easier around a week out and then incrementally better from there! You’ve got this :).

Congrats and keep on!

Welcome George!

Definitely keep a food journal and discuss with your NUT. Also what’s your water intake? That can also inhibit weight loss- body uses water to help flush out fat. Hang in there

It’s normal :) Just remember your “why”.... and it’s over before you know it :)

Crush them and put them in hot broth ... or shake. Still taste gross but better than nothing

Congrats to you! Glad you’re up and doing well!
