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.

I love to hear everyone's Wins as each week or day passes there is a New Win.

Mid week checkpoint from last week I'm late! I i'm an avid runner. I have taken the last few days off. Crazy how your body craves exercise once you make it a part of your routine. I will say obesity is a smart disease and anyone experiencing stalls for me , I have to constantly find ways to out smart it. If I run at 4am one week, I will run at 6pm the next. It get used to things you do ????.

Have Fun shopping Ladies! To shop and actually wear what you want is a HUGE and a Major WIN!! ?? ? ?

Thanks for this info! So many thrifts in this city. That will be my project in the next few weeks!

Reporting todays WIN 8/14/24...went to macys and the size 16 jeans are fitting well some are kind of big! It's been a LONG A$$ time since I've seen a size 16 from being in the size 20 somethings lol. I said today I would go to the mall and shop to see my actual size. I still do not want to buy a lot of cloths only month 4 and dropping fast!!

I still have no appetite and trust your not going to Want to overeat! Your pouch won't let you. My pouch is an a*****e i call it names. The second month i let out a big ugly real tears cry! Strawberries didn't even want to go down felt stuck ???

My gastric sleeve which I just had surgery in April I would say is super restrictive. Now some other bariatric groups I am in they expressed concerns because they felt they could still eat a lot of food. A lot of this journey is mental and I am unsure if those who were saying they felt they could eat more than they should was still battling the mental aspect of surgery. It's the best thing you could do. It's a chance to start anew.

Great thread ladies I'm 4 months post op and kinda get crazy and wild around ovulation time sorry not sorry haha. So I'm on here looking at people's weight gain during pregnancy and or any issues they might have had. Good to stay prepared!

Nickelchip im sorry I had to chuckle very loudly when you stated you could chew a peice of broccoli and be in agony. That is the same way I feel about chicken for some reason it feels like it gets stuck in my chest and I want to throw it against the damn wall. Some days me and chicken can have the perfect love affair. Ohhhhhhh heaven heaven is Brisket and again I'm with you! *sighs. This is my birthday week and I'm already fantasizing about the bar b q I will eat; To only get full on a few chomps ?

Amber my Girl! The hamburger and the sauces ?? plus shake...a bariatric girl can DREAM . I am such a foodie but have turned into a healthy bariatric foodie. I made a bomb Califlower pizza. We got this! One day @ a time!

Great Job! Keep up the good work! Welcome to the lighter side of life! Enjoy!

Girl thanks! Girl this thread is about grief I post what I grieve but 4 months in and I'm down close to 100 pounds and Run 5 miles daily trust me it don't get no more creative. It dosent stop me from wanting a hamburger ? or a shake tho! I will never go backwards I worked to hard for this body. #bariatricbabe ??.

Hi

I want a donut ? and I want a sonic shake ?. I'm livid.

Welcome to the "lighter side" of life! I wish you a great recovery!

It is definitely a rough one for sure! I agree with you I never want go back to old habits! Atleast once a month I'm angry and grieving ?. I have to laugh to keep from crying!

Yes I think it's good to keep this chat active as it's takes community to remain steadfast! I am there with you about the same amount of weight loss overall had surgery 4/11/24. I think my daily 4am 5 miles crazy lady runs in the mornings has kept me toned loosing. Congrats on your weight loss!

You go girl!

That's is so awesome! These types of wins with surgery keeps me motivated!

Awesome! Very good! Slow and steady wins the race! Trust me 50lbs can be noticed! Stay encouraged! A lot of times it could people not wanting to be nosy and pry, jealousy, etc you never know what goes through people's minds! I was just thinking this as well I pretty much also make myself eat! It's so strange not to have cravings. I literally will enjoy this state as much as possible lmao! I'm not ready for cravings to kick in full force!

Hi April Surgery buddies how are we doing? How is the weight loss coming?
