Having been able to buy size 4 clothes made it a lot easier to pass them by without even a second thought. Even bought my niece pretzel wetzels and was okay with the smell in my car. Lol!!

Good for you. I haven't been to the mall once since surgery (I am 11 weeks out) because of pretzel bites and macadamia nut Cookies...I don't think I have the control yet.

Good job! Congrats on a size 4 - that's tiny! I want to be a 14!

I can't wait to get to that place, mentally. For some reason my family decided to

Cook/eat my favorite foods this week while I'm on clear liquids!!! Gahhhh!!!! I've never been a murderer before, but I swear if someone cooks garlic, or bacon one more time, I'm gonna snap!! haha... bring on the size 4's!!

How long has it been since your surgery???

I wish I felt this way. I was at the mall last night and almost wanted to throw a tantrum in front of Cinnabon. Okay, not quite. But I was close. I'm happy with where I'm at, but some food is soooo appealing. Sometimes I have to work really hard at this. Btw- I didn't get a Cinnabon. ;)

Do you still have the occasional treat?? (maybe Cinnabon isn't worth the cals) but do you not have anything that satisfies the 2 year old tantrum in you?

Oh- also.... Way to be strong!!! haha

Sadly having an occasional treat turned into a nightly thing. I kept my cals low and didn't gain but I was making poor food choices. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that i run consistently. So, it's back to the drawing board. I found that right now I needed to "detox" from sugar and processed foods. I have a sweet and salty tooth like no other! It's scary. Right now I'm satisfying my sweet tooth with oranges and smoothies. I will keep fighting the fight! Lol!

I'm jealous! I'm 3 1/2 months out and have had more stalls then I care to mention. I don't really have a weakness for any junk food but I am not sure if I'm eating the right amounts. I'm not complaining though. I'm down from a size 22 to a 14 already!!!

I was at the mall today and oh my Annie Anne's pretzels looked so good....but I knew if I even got one I could only take two bites and be full, so I passed by all the yummy food too!

I still have occasional treats like 4-5 almond m&ms instead of half the bag or some sherbet instead of a pint of icecream. It satisfies my sweet tooth. Congrats on your self control :)

Congrats! I have bouts of self control and then my poor habits start to rear their ugly head. I am trying to detox myself. I am down btwn a 4/6. I probably would have a Cinnabon bite or something.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
