Lol. I've never been asked that!! I just follow what my doctor said. I have a hard time eating but push to have 800 calories a day which hardly happens. I drink a Protein shake almost every morning. I eat Proteins and veggies and portion out all my food two days at a time. Everything eat gets counted and input into the Lose It app and I wear a fit bit. I try to hit at least 10,000 steps a day but usually go for more. I don't eat carbs such as rice, bread, or Pasta and avoid sliders like the plague. I finally stated working out and am using Couch to 5K app. It's hard but I'm trying. I listen to inspirational music and talks and write down positive letters to myself. Finally I am seeing a counselor and have asked friends and family to be there for me. Being vulnerable isn't bad- it's human!!! I still have a long long way to go. Just felt inspired to share since I'm at the same weight I was when I was 16 and I'm 31 now!!! BTW - I ask for tips and any ones advice and sift them for me :-)

Sorry my phone sent it before I finished. I started class three weeks afterwards and have to walk lots on campus. I started walking half hour at a time two days after surgery. But I took it slow. Now I can do about 45 minutes or walking and jogging on the treadmill. U will do great!!!

      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!!
