Well, I guess I'm plateauing too. (is plateauing a word? LOL!) I haven't lost a thing in almost 2 weeks. I'm not getting frusterated though, I was losing a lot there for a while. I'm still restricted and my eating habits haven't really changed. Hopefully, this will pass soon.

I did have a good day yesterday though. I had to buy a dress for a shower...and....I'm now a size 20. I started this process a size 30! I actually did a little victory dance in the fitting room!!!

Libra that is so cool that you bought a size 20! I don't blame you for dancing in the fitting room--you deserve to bust a move over that accomplishment...size 30 sucked big time. I could never find anything cute to wear so shopping for something like a shower was pure torture! Great NSV for you!

Ahh the weekend, when everyone is out having fun and not posting, except me :) hehe, jk :tea:

OK so I seem to be losing steady which is awesome, I am breezing through the 80's yay :clap2: Everything has been great and then last night happened. Dud duh duh, can you here the music? Ok I know I'm corny. Well basically I took my meds before bed as always went to lay donw like 10 minutes later thinking it was all good. Instant stuck feeling and nausea, sat up told my DH I'd be to bed as soon as it went through. 2hrs later and a cup of hot cocoa I was finally relieved and it was through the stoma. By then I was falling asleep in my chair I was so tired. There was no way I was gonna puke up expensinve Rx's, so I sat there and suffered. I already know which pill got stuck, the bigger one, all my others are tiny pills so no worries with them. But it seems this one is time release so I can't cut it up and it doesn't come in a smaller pill or a liquid. What are these pharmaceutical companies thinking anyway? SO I guess I am adding sf hot cocoa to my nightly regime so they will be sure to gow down easily every time, also taking them earlier in the evening :)

I had to share this. Yesterday at my son's dr. visit he weighed in at 76lbs and I have lost 71 I have basically lost a 10yr old child! Wow that was major visual. Then today As I got in the car I realised that at the rate I am going I will be in the 70's very soon! The thought of being in the 270's again has me thrilled.

Also I have a brand new spring jacket that my DH bought for me 3yrs ago but I couldn't wear it he didn't know, bless his heart, but I can sure wear it now :)

Thanks LapBandit :welldoneclap:

I keep editing my last update, lol, since no one else seems to be as scale obsessed as I am, hehe. But if I have to weigh everyday it encourages me not to get off program cause I don't like to see the scale move in the wrong direction. It's a windbreaker jacket so not so great for pics but I am happy all the same, that and I am still a bit camera shy. I think I will be for a while still. But none the less I am nearing the 70's at breakneck speed, I can hardly wait. I feel like I am catching up to where I wanted to be at my 1yr mark. I'm not gonna hit my original goal of 100lbs in year 1 but I am gonna be fairly close and considering how my year has gone that makes me pretty excited.

Ohh Molly I hope so. It is so hard to not just want the pounds to melt off. I think no matter how quickly I lose it just won't be fast enough

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
