Nice. I told my family today that all I want is a cracker. Sad when that's what I'm looking forward to. :)

I know alot of it is the mental hunger talking but I also just want to feel normal NOW. I keep looking at the photos of people and reading as much as possible. Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm 5 months out and still don't eat bread. I don't even miss it. Life gets back to normal. I go out with friends and family. I just plan ahead and remember how far I've come that I don't want to go back

Are you over vomiting? Can you eat more then 4 bites? Do you eat fruits & vegetables? How's your blood work? Any Vitamins? Did you reach goal weight? Have you had alcohol yet?

It is a great feeling that you can eat something and maintain control so easily. I am 4 months post op and afraid to eat certain things :( But generally I eat normal food that is low or fat free and healthy foods.

      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!!
