I had my surgery on Monday, October 15th. Are there others who had the same surgery date? I'd like to know how you're doing. I had been doing great, but today was rough...mostly mentally... and I can't figure out the feelings in my gut. How are you doing?

That would be so hard! Great will power!! My husband tried to make me turkey gravy since i'm on the blended stage. The "flavorless" protein powder ruined the flavor lol i have to hold my nose to drink it.

I can't stand that flavorless stuff! Now I have a giant container and I don't want to use it. It's open, too, so I can't take it back.

I feel like I'm getting over a stomach virus. Kind of shaky and tired. And my large incision is pissed off at being squished between my bra band and the waistband of my pants!

And is anyone else's skin super dry?! EW!

Yes, it's very dry where I live anyway, but my skin seems drier than usual. I think I'm not drinking enough water.

I have my 1st post-op appt today and I'll find out how much I've lost. As long as its at least 10lbs, I'll be happy. I'm trying to be realistic.

I went back to work yesterday and stayed too long. I was really sore and weak by the time I made the hour+ drive home, and I ended up not sleeping well. Blah.

So today, I'm feeling puny and blah. Hoping its just from yesterday and not something worse. I can't wait until I can stop worrying about complications...

Waiting for my appt and I'm oddly nervous.

What if I lost ZERO?!

Has anyone cheated yet? I had a small cookie tonight while carving pumpkins with my family. I chewed it into nothing before i swallowed.

Nope not yet i literally just pull a small tootsie roll..

Sould i eat it

Nope!! It's a slippery slope for me, especially with sweets. I can't allow myself to cheat, especially at this point, bc who knows where I'll end up! I have NO willpower with sweets and will have to stay away from most altogether to stay on track.

Don't cheat!! You're strong...and you can do this! You're only cheating yourself. Just think long term and put in your mind, the reasons you went through this drastic surgery.

I bought a cute, size 14 dress that I look at, along with a picture of my children when feeling tempted.

Try to distract yourself...you got this, girls!!!

No cheating here. I didn't go through this to blow everything on something sweet. I have been tempted, but if I imagine what it tastes like, then I feel satisfied.

In my mind, sugar is the enemy and I won't let it win.

Thanks! It sounds like so little, but I'm trying to think of every pound lost as a little victory. That's hard to do when I still have almost 100 to go!!! :/
