I did a thing yesterday- I walked a 5k! 54 min but dang! I did it! Next stop- actually starting to run. Sub 45 here I come (which is what I was doing 10 year ago before I got fat!)

Tuesday will be 3 weeks since surgery. I have lost 33 pounds. In the beginning I felt GREAT with lots of energy but towards the middle of the week I started feeling fatigued and very sleepy. I make sure I get my Water and Protein but I'm still on the full liquid phase so there's not much to choose from to eat. Any advice??

8 pounds a month is about 2 pounds per week, which seems very reasonable to me. Just keep after it!

I never really thought about the loss happening in my face but I went out last night with my BFF and we took a selfie and she's like "your face is shrinking!" Here's November with her and last night. She's been a rock star with me through all this

Did you notice the tiny bites that squirrel was taking? Maybe she's had weight loss surgery. LOL!

Haha if only I was that adorable [emoji23]

Look at those sweet little faces, and those eyes, the one on the left has the poor pitiful look perfected!
I can eat almost 4 ounces, no problem, and that is the max amount I'm supposed to eat. I wish I felt restriction at 2 or 3 ounces, but I don't. I'm going to work on stopping at 3 ounces and waiting. The last few days I've eaten almost 600 calories.

@rene50 @Uomograsso congrats on graduating to solids officially! Those meals look so good! I'm seeing my surgeon next Saturday, as I'm hoping he'll clear me as well since I'm leave that same day for a week in Florida with my family. Would love to eat a little like a normal person.
Good luck with everything moving forward! I'd love to hear about the new foods you try and how they go

Look great!

Your hubby is a sweetheart! How thoughtful.

Looking good girlie! I can really see the difference. Your face looks much thinner and also your mid-section. The same shirt, same pose, same hair-do, leaves no doubt that you are much smaller!

Tomorrow will be one month (4 weeks and 3 days) and the scale finally hit 20 lbs lost.

Of course I didn't get enough fluids yesterday and woke up with no energy and a bad headache. So today I'm back to just liquids until dinner so I can focus on rehydration.

I've been going to the gym consistently and I have a new foster dog who needs consistent walks So I think with all the extra activity I was not hydrating properly. It's just so hard when you're trying to manage eating and drinking and can't do both at once . So today I'm just going to focus on one thing.

And for you're viewing pleasure, here's a picture of my deaf foster dog Bluebelle. She's the sweetest!

Wow!! The difference in your face is really amazing!! You look fantastic!!

Hey y’all!! MIA all week again- it’s all I can do during the work week to come home, do a load of laundry and cook dinner for my 9 & 10 yo. Whew Mama is TIRED!

I wanted to give y’all a little update on my progress- I can’t get on my iPad for some reason so I can’t change my ticker but I’m down to 232.2- woot! That’s 43.2# so far! This week was slower but I’m eating and drinking more- still loosing about half a lb a day so that’s good.

A NSV is that I went to the Goodwill on Monday ( $.99 cent day at my GW) and bought a bunch of size 18 khaki pants- typical art teacher attire- and THEY ZIPPED THIS MORNING! I was a size 24 Jan 2!! Hekka Yeah!
Finally I had a GNO last night- we went to a local pub and then to see Mama Mia our on by our local theater club. I didn’t drink but I ordered their naked mugs (real chicken breast cup into cubes). We were in the nosebleeds- the theater is super old so during segregation it was the “black section” and the seats are TINY dingy and HOT! But I fit!!!!!! I’m attaching a picture of me in my SIZE LARGE dress that I wore (not XXL like 2 months ago!!!)

Also attached is a comparison pic- Jan 2 to last night. Total difference!!

Hi I’m a newbie had my surgery Jan 28,2020.🤩

This may be tmi lol but when I find the scale has not dropped (and I’m not in a stall) I find I need to have a BM. Sometimes I’m constipated. So have to take things to help. Then I rewrite and I’m like aww there it is lol the correct number

Omg beautiful!!! Awesome! Love it!

Congrats! You look beautiful! A size 24 to an 18 is a big difference and I know that must feel great.
