yesterdays NSV - I was able to buy a few items of clothes at a physical Old Navy store because I didn't need plus size . Today, I realized I needed to go and exchange a couple sweaters because they're too large! So I was able to buy XL sweaters! (even though I know ON runs large, still excited).

Treat your depression and absolutely get counseling! I do both! The mind is a tricky b***h!

Don't focus on the one backhanded compliment that you received. Focus on all of the genuine compliments that you received instead! His dumb comment isn't worth your time.

I got my first backhanded compliment today..."You look great, God, do you eat ANYTHING anymore?"
I replied with "Yes, lots of protein"

I do Keto but it Is very much carnivorous lol

as soon as I had full approval they called to schedule pre-op and surgery. WOO HOO you are on your way.

I was too cheap to try them lol I am doing the one a day capsules.

NO! I need to update that to my surgery weight. 49 lbs in 3 months!

Hershey's does make a sugar-free Syrup and it's only 5 calories per TBSP. I keep it in my house to help get me through those chocolate cravings. Not going to lie...I have gotten a tablespoon and squirted the syrup into that and just eaten it out of the measuring spoon. The chocolate struggle is real.

I had my 3 month checkup today. All my Vitamin levels are good,. Liver enzymes a little elevated. Thyroid function normal and I get to STOP my BP meds! My BP was 118/72!
Doc says I am right on track for where I should be at 3 months. I was worried I was not losing fast enough. She says they prefers low and steady......1-2 lbs a week.

WHEW!

the support groups are a really key in this journey. I am not a 'people person' lol so I avoided them in the beginning. I have been twice now and OH MY I love it. my doc kept after me until I showed up.

YOUR 'co-morbidity' issues should qualify you. your surgeon will make sure you meet the specs. Chin up!

I love lifting but cannot get to a gym right now. in my 20's I was an amateur bodybuilder. many moons ago. I hope to get into a seniors weight class!

My biggest thing would be YOGURT. Have always hated the sour milk taste and no matter what brand I tried I could not get past it. THEN I found OIKOS Lemon Meringue! Top with sugar free Cool Whip and VOILA it is Dessert for breakfast!
