I went from being a stay at home wife and step mom to being gone to school/work 12 hrs/day and on my feet most of that. It has been a big change in my life and it is just a lot all at once. I feel like I am swimming in the deep end and my doggy paddle is is starting to poop out.

Molly, you're doing great just to be staying afloat right now. Take care of yourself and we're thinking about you. Get that fill and you'll shed a few lbs, which will give you an energy surge that you definitely need with all those changes.

Take care,

Waterlilly, you should be very proud of yourself. And although running around for 12 hours a day may be getting you down try to think of the positives...12 hours a day got to burn some serious calories. Hee hee. Just trying to find the silver lining! Hang in there, you've got a lot going but you're still doing great and you'll make it til your next fill. I have faith in you!

We're doing great everyone! We'll get there!

Wow, talk about a fill. Only one cc added but I feel really tight tonight, I hope it's not all swelling. I can do thick liquids but that's it for right now. I don't even want to eat. I had chicken noodle Soup for dinner and a spoonful of pb for lunch, I know not liquid but definitely not something that was gonna get stuck at that point. Tonight though more swelling and wouldn't dream of putting pb in my tummy. I do need some dairy though so I thought I'd treat myself to some sf hot cocoa before bed :) Sadly my weight loss has not been significant since my last fill, so still sitting in the same place :D but at least I didn't gain :P

Oh and hubby and I went out to dinner on saturday and I usually have a burrito (they are huge!) and for the first time I was only able to eat half and no desert! I had the other half for lunch the next day. I won't be able to eat even that much now :)

I hope it's just right for you! My first fill post-op made me swollen for the first week but then it went back down. I still think I have restriction though so I'm happy. I think I need a smidge more to hit the illusive "sweet spot"!

Good job on eating out w/ hubby!

Ugh...it is sooo hot here. I totally don't feel like working out some nights but when I do I feel better afterwards. I hate winter/snow but this heat is a little much! I've got my sights set on Twoterville this month so that helps motivate me!

Remember those Gatorade commercials...featuring the greatest basketball player of all time...(Michael Jordan)....?

Is it in you?

I heard a cool saying today....."adversity introduces you to yourself."

Keep it up...you can do it.

Mine read 301 this morning and actually flashed 299 for a minute before settling on 301! Let me know which line the cute border guard is in because I'm right behind you!

Wink,

      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!!
