I'm so excited to be down 51# in just a few days from my 2 month surgiversary!! I did have a couple of weeks where I barely lost anything at all and then just like someone pulled the drain from the bath Water my weight loss kicked up with a burst!

I'm already fitting into clothes I haven't been in for awhile. I still have a ways to go, but this sleeve is just incredible!

Well, I'm probably not as good as many on here about tracking my foods, etc. I do focus heavily on my carb content and nothing on calories. For Breakfast, sometimes all I have time for is a string cheese and a few crackers. I try to cook a scrambled egg mixed with a little cheese and onion. I'm also pretty non-traditional in terms of what I eat for what meals. As a single person and no kids, I don't feel compelled to eat Breakfast items for breakfast, lunch for lunch, etc. Sometimes I will cook up a little sausage mixed with cheese for dinner, or green Beans sauteed in butter and melted cheese. I also had a garden this year and am eating butternut squash that I broil in the oven and cook with butter- YUMMY! I have an occasional carrot but have had LOTS of muskmelon lately. For lunch, sometimes I bring some cooked white fish and a cup of sugar free Jello, or some cooked chicken. I also have mostly been drinking more Water than before surgery as well as crystal lite. I was drinking a zero calorie fruity drink from Walmart but after posting about carbonation drinks, decided to back off on that awhile to see if that would help break my stall and I don't know if that helped but it seemed after a few days I was dropping weight again so I am going to stay off that awhile. Oh and I bring pepperoni slices to work to snack on, they are zero carbs.

The other thing that I think is a huge help is that I have a small horse farm and I am the only one to do all the work around here which includes a fair amount of mowing, weed eating, moving hay and all the other things that go along with taking care of acreage and a home. I have been wearing a podometer and I average between 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day. I'm not sure if this helps give a good picture of what I'm doing- but that is basically what I'm doing.

Basically, I just focus on keeping my carbs to under 20 per day.

I should also add that I have an occasional salad, but choose pretty much only Protein things to add to it and instead of light salad dressings, I choose regular because the carb content is lower- but even then I can usually only eat enough salad for about 2 or 3 TBLSPNS worth.

Congratulations! You are doing great! I'm just a few days over two months and have lost a few pounds less than you--49. A horse farm? You are so lucky! I had two mini horses a few years ago, but didn't have room to keep them so gave them away. I still miss them.

      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!!
