August 2023 Surgery Buddies!
I haven't been in here in a Hot Minute! I would love to know how everyone is doing. I stopped losing weight at about month 8 or 9 and have maintained, just didn't get to where I had hoped I would. I kind of regret not doing the bypass to be honest. Otherwise it's been pretty easy.

Gastric Sleeve Side Effects
Man, I was all over the place for a while, I actually bought pregnancy tests because I was so late at one point, then the next month I was super early. But I evened out around 6 months in. I was so freaked out, my surgeon made a point to tell everyone how much more fertile you are after surgery... I wasn't ready lol.

Post surgery hair loss
Mine started at about month 4/4.5 and is just slowing at month 13... It sucks, but most of us, if not all go through it.

Food Boredom
I get in food ruts, I will eat the same thing everyday for 3 weeks because it's easy, and fits the diet... then I just don't want anything. Balancing is definitely a challenge for me.

What Made You Smile Today?
I am a huge roller coaster fan. But the last 6-7 years, I haven’t fit in most. Today I went to Universal and went on every ride with no problem. It’s a great F$&king day!!!!

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
I am not sure that this is a victory, but it's something. Half way through my day Sunday, I realized my wedding ring wasn't on my hand... Started panicking because I couldn't find it anywhere. I knew it was getting loose, but it had never just fell off. Turns out it fell off in bed. So my fingers are officially smaller than they have been in like 8 years.

Sometimes complications can be blessings in disguise
I love this, I love that you are looking at the light at the end rather than all the bad parts. I'm sure your body is handling it all so much better with the weight loss too.

Sometimes complications can be blessings in disguise
Girl!!! I am thankful you found all of these issue that could have become much worse, but man do you deserve a break! one of my co workers who weighs about 92 pounds(no exaggeration) always had a pouch belly, and didn't know why, turns out she had 2 fibroids about grapefruit size. She had a hysterectomy and they left one ovary so she wouldn't need hormones. She has been so happy since having it taken care of. So you will get there!

Skinny Syrup
Jordan's Skinny Syrups are my favorite, I wait for sales or get them at TJ Maxx, I love the peach with just water or tea. Salted Caramel for my coffees. But even my kids use so many of them.

Frustrating Stall - and have I lost too little weight so far?
Hello, I know stalls are frustrating, but we all have them. Your body has to adjust and that is what happens when you stall in the beginning, once you re further out, you have to look at what you are eating, how much, and if you are exercising enough. As far as 32 pounds in 2 months... sounds good to me. Its more than you probably lost in 2 month pre-surgery. ?
