I'm so excited!
I'm about 12 weeks post-op gastric sleeve and I was worried about my pre-planned two week cruise and how I would manage to eat and stay on the right track. I was so good! I didn't eat a single dessert or Pasta or pizza. I had a cheese omelette every morning for Breakfast, salmon for dinner every night and various things for lunch but all making good choices.
I just got back late last night and weighed this morning and I lost 2.5 pounds during my two-week cruise! Hooray! I exercised in the pool every morning and did lots of walking and stayed hydrated.
I'm just so excited that I made good choices around all that ton of food on the cruise ship and still ended up losing weight! Hooray! Yippee!
Here's a photo of me from the cruise - I've lost 25 pounds since surgery 12/11/18.

I didn’t take before pics because I hated the way I looked. My starting weight was 311, currently at 235.. I couldn’t take a serious pic! Lol

I am a slow loser as well. I have hypothyroidism so slow losing is pretty common with me. While I have been disappointed, I have to remember to keep on track. Have I gotten off track? Yes but as long as I correct and gain focus. I know that I (like everyone else) can do this. 😁

My heaviest weight was 370.
In 2010 I had the band installed (such a mistake, waste of time, money and effort IMO)
March 10th, 2018 at my Pre-Surgical check in I was 310.
March 21st, 2018 at check in for surgery I was 294.4. I had the band removed and revised to the bypass.
Today, January 23rd, 2019. 308 days after surgery... I hit a number that I haven't seen in more than 20 years Onederland.
I'm down 95 lbs since surgery, 110.6 lbs from pre-surgical. And a staggering 170.6 lbs from my heaviest weight.

I need to thank so many people that if I tried, I'd forget someone and then we'd start with the hard feelings.
So I'll go with this.
Thank you.
If you've helped me through this in any way, shape, or form, Thank you.

My wonderful, wonderful 15 year YOUNG Andrew died January 3rd. I'm still having trouble
processing. This was a terrible, awful, avoidable accident. Andrew was video chatting with 4
other friends. The jist of the story is....kids were talking, laughing, daring each other about "silly"
things. Not sure of all specific details (we will never know)
They were all teasing/taunting/joking with each other - story involving a neck and a rope - how tight one
could pull , won't say any more details, use your imagination. One child saw most of what was going on screen.
He screamed, ran to his mother and then called 911. Police followed to look into the situation. My
daughter was confused about any possible problem with police/ went upstairs - found Andrew in bedroom
closet. This boy, grant? is devastated about what happened. He didn't want to go funeral/hasn't been
able to talk to my daughter yet. This must be a terrifying nightmare that he will never forget.
Andrew was/is such a terrific young man. Handsome, smart/funny. Any and all people were very lucky to have
known him. He lit up a room. He was/is a terrific son/brother/nephew/friend and of course my grand-son.
his sister, 18 year old Morgan - is handling things the best she can. She lost her younger brother!! How terrible is that!!
She has a large support group of friends. She cries so often - but luckily friends are there to hold her.! my "little" wonderful
11 yr young Ethan has more trouble wrapping around the situation. Understanding what was going on. He slowing is understanding
that his big brother will never come home,
my daughter has a large community of friends in her neighborhood, many people from temple - so much
necessary support. She has 4 long time friends from different states that came to support her. BTW - her temple
holds 300 people - standing room only. Shows how much my Andrew and his family are loved.
We are so sad, terrified about this tragedy. We will all always love our Andrew. Forever and ever. The problem
now is dealing with the aftermath. Losing Andrew - the brother, grandson - friend but for my daughter and
my son-in-law - their son - i can't imagine how they feel. - they have friends and family at their house, one
after another - so they haven't been alone. Next week, and after, two more friends will be their for her.
But eventually they will be all alone! Their lives will never be the same. they are seeing a therapist individually,
and the whole family. They also are looking into finding a group of parents who have lost etc etc
thank you letting me unburden myself on you all.

I agree. I have to be inventive with exercise which is mostly outside. Bright side the trip to the mailbox is at least a good distance. I am lucky to have my kids (especially the two teenage boys) that are very active outside. They inspire me to play ball with them. It is equally good because I tend to be super competitive (can’t let them beat me 😁). But i admit it is easy to give up on a hot humid day, a sudden cold snap/hot snap combo day, or a the weeks worth of rain (like we are having now).

I live in a rural area outside Nashville. I'm from Nashville and I"m used to all kinds of things right around the corner. Here, the nearest gym that is affordable is in Nashville over 30 minute drive. The gyms in town are ridiculously priced. I live down in a holler in the woods, so walking the street takes a 20 minute walk up my driveway that by the time I get up the hill, I'm breathing hard and ready to go back down. I have 1 neighbor down here with me that has 3 dogs, 2 huge ones that bark at fleas farting. I love walking in the wilderness, but not when I'm afraid their electric fence will be off. I have an elliptical and exercise trampoline, but it gets boring and I give up before a good workout. Excuses I know.

Hi! I am a 36 year old mother of 4 (3 boys and 1 girl). I have been married for 16 years. I am an accountant. When I get any spare time, I love to create (mostly painting but also up-cycling items). I am a tried and true sports mom (mostly soccer). I am a ginger who loves to have fun and laugh. I am very anti-drama so the only drama I like in my life is tv based.

This was a great topic!

Hello all!

I am 5 months out and a 100lbs down. I am honestly so grateful that I got the opportunity to have this operation done. I don’t miss my old life style at all, I now love the gym, I love my lean Protein and veggie meals, I love being able to shop anywhere without worrying about if they’ll carry my size, I love not worrying about taking up too much space on public transport, I love running about everywhere and not feeling the excess weight on my knees and feet.

Have I had bad days?? Of course! One day I ate an entire block of brie, another day I ate a slice of pizza. But the difference is now I don’t let my mistakes define. One bad meal isn’t going to get me back where I started. One bad meal isn’t the end of my journey. I accept it, and move on. Maybe i’ll move around even more the next day.

I have another 30lbs to go until I hit my goal weight, I will never ever ever be skinny, because i’m naturally curvy and you know what? That’s ok. I own these curves and i’m healthy and curvy!

Love this post!

So my husband, who is as slim as they come, asked me nicely if I would mind if he did Chic-Fil-A for lunch while we were running errands. I didn’t want to be a drag so I told him sure. Now that is one of my favs. Their waffle fries and chic-fil-a sauce are AMAZING! So I sat and smiled and fought through all the feels while he and our toddlers ate fries and chicken nuggets and a grilled chicken sandwich while I sipped on my Water. It was probably the toughest moment so far Since the surgery. I have to say that I wasn’t that hungry so the hunger pains were minimal but I really wanted to just lick the salt off those fries. When the torture was over I felt like a new woman. I had conquered one of my previously fav fat girl places and I wasn’t angry. I was more like determined that I would never let food define me again. I thought “hey if I eat here in the future the grilled nuggets are an option”. I actually feel pretty darn good. Just thought I share.
