Long Weekend

Is anyone else having a Long weekend? I haven't said much to anyone but a good friend & my hubby & kids. So I'm trying to be act like nothing is out of the normal. We went with friend last night to dinner. Where I had a side salad no dressing. I had a Protein shake about an hour before. Where they notice I wasn't eating much. Then they all asked why I wasn't drinking anything. I just played it off that I wasn't feeling so well. Now we are getting ready for a BBQ I plan on just eating from the veggie tray we are taking. This time I have an insulated cup that will have my shake. I just don't think I should have to explain myself to anyone. I don't want to hear about their friends, cousins, boyfriends, uncle that they think had this procedure. That had a hard time.

I'm on my day 7 of my 2 week liver shrinkage diet. I'm not going to mess this up. Not this close to the finish line of getting the procedure. My Doctor has a very strict rule if you don't lose so much weight, you will be rescheduled. Honestly nothing sounds that good to me anyway. After the 4th-5th day my bread cravings left. (It has always been my weakness.) kudos to anyone that has to do the pre-op diet around the holiday's.

oh well only 1.5 more days of the Holiday weekend... rant over.

*Side note I found how to release my cravings to breads, sounds weird but I baked, I didn't bake breads, close cupcakes my kids have asked for, for awhile. The smell was enough to help. I didn't even lick my fingers. I did not taste a drop nor a crumb. I was happy my kids are super happy.

I found it easier not going to those kind of things before and after for some time. Kudos to you for doing it and sticking to it! Not anyones business why you choose to eat or drink what you want.

Sorry it has been a struggle. I start my pre-op diet in two days. Just keep your end goal in mind and keep up the good work.

You did better than I did. I'm 10 days POST-op (which isn't much different than pre-op diet). I decided I'm just not ready for outings like these where there is food and alcohol (and cigarettes). I know I will learn to handle these things, but right now I'm too new to this way of life. Good luck to you! The weekend will be over before you know it!!

It's ok, I figure I have to deal with this stuff sooner or later. I think after my surgery things might be better as people know what's going on. I just have to learn to deal with it all & keep my head up & keep moving forward. I know where I want to be. Oh well thanks for the ear(s)

We will all be better off in the end, I figure one day I will look back & just shake my head. :P

      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?

      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
