NGMA- I was so happy that I hit 16. (I still am a 16) Now I am sick of being a 16! My goal is a 12, I think it is a perfect size. Would you believe I am almost 40 years old and I have never had jury duty???

I can get in 14s with some mass muffin top going on lmao. My 16s no longer have muffin top and pull off and on zipped. I think that's what I'm going for when the pants go up and down zipped I can move to the smaller size. So hope to be pulling up and down the 14s by my march.

Been in a stall since the beginning of December. Frustrated. Then the TOM with the monthly "here, let me add 5 pounds to your scale just to FREAK YOU OUT!" (insert malevolent laugh here). I've been exercising and watching my Protein. Could use more, maybe. There is only so much I can eat in a day. Maybe need to have the carbs lowered. But my crazy freaking NUT seems to think I need 100 grams of those every day. I think she's crazy. Just because I don't technically have diabetes anymore doesn't mean that I am still not carb-sensitive. Right?

And I have this hernia that they wanted to leave and not fix until way after the sleeve surgery...like a year out. It gives them an excuse to do a Tummy Tuck if necessary. I'm fine with that, only the last week there's just pain in that area. Just slightly above the belly button. And it gets all puffed out and makes me feel like I've gained it all back. I know, intellectually, that I haven't.

Just feeling out of sorts. Maybe if/when the scale starts moving again, I will feel better.

Time to exercise and eat/drink Breakfast.< /p>

Keeps me on track to only eat the Snacks I have listed for that day :) Been keeping my cals at around 600/850 carbs no more then 20 fat less then 25 Sodium no more then 1600mg a day :) Water 128oz Protein 90/120 this is my food plan for the week :). Wish me luck.

Was 5 pounds heavier yesterday. Today was 5 pounds lighter. Seriously, I'm about ready to do a colon cleanse if this keeps happening. It's the TOM or the Poo. Probably the poo. Massive blowout and bam! 5 pounds lighter. How is that even possible with the extra Water and little bit of food? I'm about ready to set un an IV of Benefiber. TMI? Sorry.

I just used to be so regular and then all of a sudden for no apparent reason, it decides to set up shop and invite squatters.

My sleeve has done its do now I have to kick it into high gear. I exercise about five times a week and I try and get my Protein and Water in. From 212 to 160. Just want to see 150 something. Goal is only 30 more away(lol).

ONEDERLAND!!! Finally. I am losing a lot slower now I notice. I have been way more disciplined the last couple of weeks. Still an occasional munchy now and then but not like the holidays.

RYBECCA- U look great!! I see the treadmill in the background, good for you!

FOR ME- 30 pounds to goal??? That is so awesome. Congrats.

NGMA- You go girl! I am still waiting for someone to hit on me, lol. My hubby wont leave me alone, but that doesnt count cause he has always been a horndog with me fat or thin. And I dont know why I am not ever called to do Jury Duty. They must know me, ha ha.

ARTSONG- Sounds like you have a plan! Do you find it hard counting the caories because the quanities? Like, one bite equals X amount of calories?? Thats why I stopped MFP because the count was never accurate.

MOM123- I always love when I go number 2. I feel skinner every time, ha ha.

GREEN- Whattup?? How you doing girl?

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
