How do you own a scale without going crazy?!!! I do not own a scale by personal choice I weigh in at docs appointments are when I visit my parents house. My mental is unfortunately not strong enough to own a scale, being a women their is to many fluctuations menstrual cycles, water weight I just can't 😂😩😩😩😩

Drinking is always hell...I mourn guzzling liquids

I grieve bread today like a bar b q sandwich with a big ass Texas size bun, I grieve all breads...due to my food addiction since surgery in April I no longer eat breads, potatoes, cookies, candies etc ...and every damn day I'm mourning bread. Like an alcoholic in order to sustain sobriety they can't even have one sip..the same applies for me unfortunately. A slippery slope into the pits of hell

I definitely understand....I feel drinking is a chore now..I mourn guzzling liquids...I am with you as we'll in the anemia since surgery I'm always cold now 🙄

Have you guys did Rucking what do you put in your back packs!! lol ...or do you use a weighted vest?

Freakin awesome this is a Major Win 🏆

One day I will be as strong as you all, I'm just so happy yall are strong! My Addiction to food was no different then that of one on meth/crack. I'm scared to even indulge 😂🤪

Congrats you will enjoy the "lighter" side!

Meet my sexy friend in which we have a daily love affair. This weeks win, I am on vacation in the country side and drinking ALOT of water...this thing goes wherever I go. What a love affair 😂😂

Love this! Lol now you all can do healthy cuddle and Chill! Babe bring me a celery stick 😂😂😂. I get it tho!

Love this ..as I'm comming up on 5 months post op...im trying to decide how I would like to move ahead with the "maintenance" part of life. Maintaining a food lifestyle that I enjoy for life. I haven't yet decided on how that will look. It's good to hear your thoughts as it gives me insight on how I will maybe manage further down the line. As of now I don't even know what bread, or mash potatoes or any of the comforts I once enjoyed taste like 😂😂😂 anymore .

This is good info never looked at it like this...I am afraid to trigger my addiction if I taste certain foods I may not be able to stop

Im with you there...I miss everything!

Sorry I screamed laughing for some reason when you said "all the chewing" for a steak 😂. Yes It's a lot of chewing but I love steak so damn much: even tho I chew 1000 times

Trust me I am with you whole heartedly @BlondePatriotInCDA...today we drove to Louisiana to go the casino and I am beyond mad! We all ate at a buffet and I wanted the rolls, mashed potatoes etc...The Win for today tho is my own mom did not no who I was she sat by me at a machine and said "a mamn can I ask you"...she stopped and looked and was like damn I didn't even know my own baby. This journey is hard as hell. We always have to find a win through the grief. I grieve every damn day. I am a big baker as well imagine making people red velvet cakes with the cream cheese icing and not being able to eat it. for restaurants I stick to steak, and veggies I no longer make a deal of it because I know I will not be able to enjoy my "big girl" pleasures I once knew. It's like the enjoyment of eating out is now one big RIP 🪦.

So awesome movement is my favorite thing

New Week New Wins! Ladies and Gents look forward to seeing your weeks Wins!

Cool thanks yes I do not have children but need to plan for the future...I always felt that the mothers in my family over ate while pregnant and used it as an excuse. I know people eat for two but really how much food does one need.

That's my biggest fear and that's why I'm in various bariatric groups. I do not want to gain any of this weight back! It was hard work getting it off 😩😩😩

Your NSV's will surprise you by the month! Truly Amazing

Thanks...I retire around 8pm and put all electronics away I also do not have TV in bedroom it helps. Much like @ShoppGirl stated I rest much better after cardio/physical activity..I also am not the best sleeper 😩. I am very big on movement and always have been even when I was larger..so I have to get it done! Once I'm done in the early am. I have the rest of the day to do as I wish!

Girl lol I am right with you 4 months post op. I grieve not being able to guzzle down water or any beverage for that matter. I grieve everything right now. Thankful for the multiple bariatric groups that I am in. I wouldn't make it 😂

This weeks Win is Movement. I haven't stopped moving since surgery in April. Houston Texas Skyline. Yes I am the crazy lady working out at 4am. 🏋️‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽. Stay Motivated!

New week new things that I grieve ... pre-menstruation hunger and menstruation hunger needs to be further talked about in the bariatric community.
