  1. I had a difficult time stopping the weight loss. I ended up cutting back just a little on my exercise regimen (I also refused to give up my new, healthy addiction), and focused on eating more. I still eat plenty of protein, but I eat a lot more carbs now. My weight is stable and my friends/family have stopped hassling me about my weight. I eat around 2000 calories a day and exercise about 6 days a week, including running and weight training along with other cardio, and yoga. I feel great and I like how my body looks. Good luck!

    Bariatric surgery and keto?

    I had RNY, not sleeve, but I find too much fat at one time makes me nauseous. My husband eats keto and I literally make two meals (when I cook), because I eat carbs and can’t tolerate the high fat in his food. The post op diet is usually pretty much a high protein, reduced carb, low/reduced fat diet, which worked well for me. In maintenance, I eat more carbs.

    Love!! This dress! I unreasonably want it…I have no upcoming events where this dress would be worn. 😭😭 My husband is literally having to upgrade his wardrobe because every time we go out, I am overdressed 😂 What would he wear out with me dressed in this to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant?? 🤷‍♀️

    Wore this to dinner at a pub last weekend. I don’t like the bunching of the velvet pants, but sizing up would be too big in waist and hips. I guess I have what is referred to as “athletic” legs😂

    Regret and Depression

    Over sensitive and snappish are definitely some things I experienced post-surgery, in spite of my low dose of Prozac. It did get better, but my husband definitely took the brunt of my moodiness. The portion restriction did not bother me, because my hunger was low and I got full very quickly. I believe most of my moodiness stemmed from hormone fluctuations.

    Just a taste?

    Exactly this! Now I literally eat what ever I want because I exercise a lot. Early on, my cravings were for protein, fruits, and veggies. I do not eat much in the way of concentrated sugars at this point, due to reactive hypoglycemia, (said as I munch on some teddy Graham’s). 🤦🏼‍♀️With that said, I am in maintenance, ran 4 miles today, and do not want to lose weight. In maintenance, you can eat foods you want to eat providing they do not make you physically ill or cause you to gain unwanted weight.

    Regret and Depression

    I have depression. After surgery I felt energized. It was amazing. For the first time in years wanted to be a part of things again. I know my results are not normal. I have taken Prozac 20 mg for 10++ years. I was especially moody post surgery, but it has settled down. I feel great and have felt great since my surgery. My initial mood swings were challenging for Hubby and I, but I think we have come through to the other side. Hang in there! The first few months are so hard.

    Suit is fabulous! 😍 My name is Wish, and I am a shoe and clothing addict. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have so many gorgeous things to wear and no where to go, so I am feeling your pain, @ms.sss. 😂 last weekend Hubby and I went out to a nice, but not super fancy, restaurant for dinner. I was way over dressed, so hubby over dressed in solidarity 🤣🤣 We stopped at a very un-fancy bar on the way home. The server asked if we had a party we were going to…nope, just home and in bed by 9. Lol

    A month of steroids for the asthma and I am back on track 🤪 I am on an animal print thing right now, but also love the color tones in this dress. It is from Banana Republic and it is a heavier weight, satiny fabric, so smooth but not terribly flowy due to the weight of the fabric.

    Hi guys! Been off the air for a bit. Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing great! Just had some struggles with my asthma after Maui due to the smoky air out west. Here is a dress I picked up for $23. I also love a bargain😬😬😬

    First stall

    You have lost 50 pounds in 2 months! Congratulations! Yep, your body just needs to take a minute to “catch up.” Just keep doing what you have been doing (presumably following your plan) and the stall will break. 😊
  14. Well, I guess I am proof your dream is readily obtainable! 10+ years ago Husband and I were on Maui. Husband wanted to take a surf lesson. I passed, partly because of my size/lack of fitness, and partly because it just wasn’t important to me (cost of activities add up quick). This trip, Husband stayed home, but I was trying to do lots of fun stuff with my niece and nephew. We did SUP one day, and the shop said we should try surfing as well. Kids were game so I signed us up. Thanks to an awesome coach, we were all standing up and riding waves on the first try. Shockingly, I was better at it than either of the kids and I loved it. Basically, I now want to move to Maui and become a middle aged surf bum 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe you want to join me??😂 I think this is a great goal for you, @STLoser! 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️ PS. Happy birthday to you! 🎂🥳
