Holy Moly it’s been a year this month! I have attached a photo and it’s actually hard to look at! I have some work to do yet and I have moved my goal weight around so I am not done yet but what a ride If I can do it at 50 anyone can !

Wiping my own butt without breaking my back trying to reach 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm just over two weeks out from surgery and started soft foods yesterday (my program doesn't have purees). I was excited to start eating again but I'm not feeling the fullness I expected. My portions have been about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese or refried Beans etc, and last night I had a 1/2 cup of turkey chili. I don't have trouble tolerating it but I feel exactly the same before and after eating--not hungry but not full either. Is this just because everything is still healing? I've been able to drink Water in bigger sips than I expected too (not on purpose!) so I have this irrational thought that the surgeon screwed up.

This isn't a necessary answer to the person who asked but for future people that find themselves on this page.
Listen i am a 22 year old student,my surgery was 5 weeks ish ago, I lost 50 pounds and now I am at 211 pounds. I am at university and I know there are just moments where you eant to Celebrate without the constant oh it's not healthy yada yada. Some surgeons tell you to wait 6 months some tell you whenever you are ready mine told me the later and said after a month is fine.
Okay so I tried my tolerance now today, because of all the stories of people saying thst their tolerance went to sh*ts. I used to be a good drinker before but only at social gatherings.
I drank wodka shots today about 8 through out 3 hours and felt absolutely fine, maybe tipsyish but not even fully and I sobered up so quickly.
My advice is to eat a good meal like a good hour beforehand (I ate a small potatoe a bacon strip) and then drink. And to maybe test it out as every person is different.
Okay but do remember it contains a lot of calories, wodka has the least in comparison to other spirits, so don't make it a habit. But this was mostly for my youngsters who like to occasionally party.
