I found a rainbow tutu. I am so happy that I can wear just about anything now. I am a *very* responsible adult, and now, a very *colorful* and responsible adult. ❤️

I got a call from the bariatric nurse today. “We can schedule your surgery for October 2nd.” That’s two weeks away! And granted, that’s pending insurance approval, but holy cow! I’ve been in the program since March and everything has taken so long due to COVID. I just had my EGD last week, I guess I was just expecting a lot more waiting before getting a surgery date. I’m excited, but at the same time, I kind of wanted to have one last food (and drink) hurrah with friends before surgery. But not going to complain... the wait is almost over!

I don't have Protein Shakes, but yesterday, I had 80 grams of Protein.
Breakfast: Egg white omelet with 1 slice of jennie-o turkey bacon, 1 oz of boar's head cajun turkey, 1/8c of fat free mozzarella, 1/8c spinach, and a xtreme wellness spinach wrap tortilla: 24 protein
Snack: 1 reduced fat string cheese: 6 protein
Lunch: xtreme wellness spinach wrap, 2 slices of jennie-o turkey bacon, 2 oz boar's head cajun turkey, 1 tsp of spicy mustard, and a tbsp of Philadelphia garlic and herb cream cheese: 23 protein
Dinner: 2.2 oz of chicken breast, 1 slice of jennie-o turkey bacon, 1/4 slice of tillamook swiss cheese, 1/8c cabbage, 1/8c spinach: 19 protein

I weigh myself the same time every Monday morning, wearing nothing but my own skin. You can *very* easily get obsessed with the scale, and it fluctuates so much during the day. It's best to do first thing in the morning. Try not to fixate on it, if you can? You're doing really well, and the scale number is just a number.

I have it fairly badly, too, but I mostly just stand and wait for it to pass now. My doctors said nothing was wrong (after blood tests and a stress test) and asked me to try more electrolytes. It still happens, but not nearly as often.
If your doctor won't listen to you, get a second opinion. You are definitely entitled to finding someone who is willing to listen to you.

8 1/2 months after surgery and 14 months after starting my weight loss journey, I am officially in One-derland!!! As of this morning I am down from a starting weight of 333.6 to 199.3.
😎🤸‍♀️🌈

Mine was like that right before my gallbladder failed. Should bring it up with your surgeon or doctor, just to be safe. ❤️

Thanks! Great suggestions.

I use the Bariatric Advantage chewy bites. You can get them from the store on this site. They taste like softer starbursts to me.

I am eight months out and occasionally eat sweets. I found low carb, low sugar ice cream (Beyers) and occasionally have dessert hummus (found one that was pumpkin pie flavored!!!) with fruit or an cinnamon apple sweet bread (they're like... 60 calories a piece, and only 3g of sugar). There are absolutely ways to include sweets back in, but in a healthy way that (hopefully) won't cause dumping.

8 months out, and down 101 pounds. I started out super fast- lost 21 before I even had surgery. Was losing 5-8lbs a week for 3 months, then about 1-5lbs for 3 months, but now, I've settled out at 0.5-2lbs a week. I'm still losing and doing well for myself.
It's a lot of hard work, but it's so worth it.

NO FOR REAL BEST THING EVER! ON the day of, I read out at exactly 215.4, exactly 100lbs down. I got my wish after all lol.

So, update.
It's my birthday tomorrow and I made it to 99.6lbs lost. Just that 0.4 away. UGH! lol It's still a huge accomplishment and I am so happy with it. I'm even down another size, AND I CAN SHOP IN THE REGULAR CLOTHING SECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS 15!!! AHH! ❤️

Thank you soooooo much! Wish I could hug you. I think l'll be one of the slow losers, but like you said, either way I'm still a loser, so yay! Lol!
