I want to be YOU! :biggrin2:

Just 5 more days and I will be waiting for the numbers to start dropping so I can sit on the loser's bench!

Congrats! It is so inspiring to hear how well people are doing. It makes me very excited!

It was very encouraging to read this line of posts. I'm having a really bad/emotional pity party day, but it is so wonderful there are people ahead of me having better days.

most days i don't feel like eating but once i do, it seems like i get hungry quicker especially in the evenings. i am fighting it hard tonight. i know it is just head hunger. i can and will do this. i am 22# pounds away from wonderland and i feel like it will never get there. i am going so slow with weight loss. i am starting to work out everyday. i am feeling like such a failure. some days i am so bad with the things i eat.

My goodness! I look at your numbers and you are halfway to your goal! That is amazing! I think we are often way too hard on ourselves. We need to set smaller goals so we can Celebrate more often.

Tomorrow is a new day. Do something special for yourself :smile:.

Well....it does...and it doesn't, which is a good thing! You will eventually enjoy EVERYTHING you did before on a much smaller scale. I should probably post more often because I am a veteran almost 3 years out and I have a different perspective on things. I do get hungry often but it doesn't take much to fill me up but I can now eat a whole sandwhich if it doesn't have alot of filling in it, etc. but I can't eat chips or drink with it. I am everyone's favorite lunch date because they all want to split with me which really isn't a split because I eat about 1/3 and they eat the rest. Ice cream was my weakness but after about 1/2 a cup, I don't want any more because it makes me nauseous. My sister had her sleeve today and I am very excited for her! I now have to be reasonable about what I eat because I can put on a few pounds if I eat candy, etc. but it goes away really quickly and it is MUCH easier to behave than pre-surgery. Good luck to everyone, it gets easier and easier as time goes on...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
