Today is my 1 year Surgiversary!!!
And I couldn't be happier! Lost all the weight I wanted to, lost a cpap, lost several chins, lost knee pain, gained confidence, gained a new wardrobe, changed my life! If any of you are struggling - trying to decide to do it, thinking it'll never work, thinking you can't, let me tell you, YOU CAN!!!!! I am rooting for you and am always happy to talk to ANYONE who might need encouragment. I'd post a pic if I knew how...maybe I can do it on the mobile app!!! PS.....My horse is still fat!!!!!

Still feel hungry
When I was a few days out I kept thinking I was feeling hunger and was mad because I thought that was supposed to be gone! My nutritionist said nope, that's just stomach acid and spasming, it'll pass. and it did! Trust the process!!!

?️ ?️ What's on the Menu? ?️ ?️
Aww Fluffs - stahp!!!!! I never thought about having BD, but now I kinda agree with you. Also, I could see myself very easily going over toward the eating disorder side of things - even though I believe I am too levelheaded for that - because of how wrapped up in this I get. I am currently taking a scale break!! Today I have eaten: Breakfast, 3 deviled egg halves (homemade) 208 cals Lunch, 1 polly-o cheese stick, 85 cals 1.5 cups of chopped salad 100 cals Have a tomato and 2 cheese sticks left that I can eat for snacks Dinner will be a 3 oz burger w cheese, no bun, obviously!

Fluffy - I am very sensitive to salt/water retention, but in this case, I don;t think that's it, because I've literally been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds for weeks. I think I need MORE water, less wine (occasional, but still) and more exercise!!!!

I dunno about inches. I forgot to measure initially, so I never measured because I figured it would all be skewed. When I look at photos of myself I still see a fat girl, albeit less fat, but I weighed this when I got married and I looked GREAT!!!

And I am STUCK at 167. For weeks. NOT HAPPY!!!!
