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! ❤️

I've lost 98lbs, and my birthday is in one week. I am almost 8 months post op (will be on 9/6), so maybe I can get 100 for my birthday? It'd be so awesome!
I also had a HUGE NSV today- the pants I was wearing in my before picture were a size 28, and I can fit SUPER comfortably into a size 18 as of today! (Almost need a 16 now; definitely gonna get a belt for the first time in my life soon).

Happy birthday congrats [emoji3060][emoji123][emoji120]

Yes, the stickers are pretty cool to add in to custom the week. Really liking it so far.

You are aware that you made a mistake and you are doing what you can to make sure that doesn't happen again. The diet is to help with liver shrinking and self control. Some surgeons require one day while others require up to a month. One mistake won't screw up the whole thing, just don't make it a habit.
Hang in there and try not to stress about it, and stick to the diet the rest of the way. ❤️ congratulations on the surgery date, by the way! ❤️

I have a paper planner that I use when I am away from my phone or internet (otherwise, I use myfitnesspal for the most part). I love putting in little stickers and things to make it all cute. I use it mostly to track amounts and what I ate, but I track my Water with my water bottles. I have three 24oz bottles, and once I've drained each of those, I know I hit my water goals.

I reference this chart frequently! I think weight loss is always super fast in the beginning because you lose Water and inflammation. I lost 12 pounds my second week post sleeve and since then it’s slowed down to about 2 pounds a week with the occasional 3-4 pound week thrown in.

Hi just got a happy planner fitness edition and im loving it for tracking everything. Nurse said have to give data at post op appointment. Anyone else got a log going? Heres a pic of mine.

Wow! You look amazing and you're such an inspiration! I'm still fairly early in my journey and I hope I can be as successful as you!

Congratulations on your weight loss and happy birthday for next week.
I love NSVs. They are so motivating & rewarding.

Hi everyone, I'm kinda new only and posted a few times, I had VSG on 8/19 and so far everything has been going smoothly for my healing.
I found these awesome little containers at my local Home Goods and I also saw them at TJ Maxx the same day and really wanted to share. (Yesterday 8/31/20) They were in the housewares section by the rest of the tupperware style containers. I think they were $3.99 and it comes with 12 they are freezer, microwave, and I think dishwasher safe, although they are easy enough to wash by hand lol. They fit appropriately 1/3 cup (I measured) which is about 2.5 oz I believe. I plan on using them to freeze some shredded/pureed chicken for lunches when I go back to work. But I really wanted to share because they are cheap, reusable, and perfect size. 😁

Debbie.

So what is everyone thankful for this week?
I am thankful that the summer heat is starting to subside here and I've been able to get outside for my walking again.
I'm also thankful that I haven't had any tolerance issues with any of the foods I've tried so far, though admittedly I have been playing it safe and not branching out too much yet.
I'm also thankful that my bosses informed me of my raise for this year and it is beyond generous.

I am also super grateful for summer's end being in sight and for the rain we got recently! This may be controversial, but I am grateful for movie theaters re-opening. I am grateful for being prescribed an anti-depressant that seems to be helping lift the veil a bit. Great post idea!

I love this!

I'm grateful for the fact that I get to spend so much time with my kids this year.(even though the reason why sucks)

I'm grateful I finally got to have my sleeve surgery and that I have so many supporting family and friends.

And I'm so so thankful for my husband, who's done everything imaginable to make sure we could afford the surgery and that my recovery was comfortable. He's a good guy.

I am thankful for my upcoming five day weekend and mini vacation.
I am thankful for my weight loss.
I am thankful for all of the energy I have post-op.

I am grateful to be making out ok despite losing my job last March.
I am grateful that my VSG happened as scheduled, that I am 2 weeks out with a basically fine recovery.
I am grateful for life, health, strength and family.

Amazing transformation!!! CONGRATS!!!
