GREAT JOB!!!! I lost some weight before sugery too I think it feels awesome to tell people I lost x amount since surgery. Then they comment "Oh no you lost more" lol and then I tell then my overall total it's a big confidence booster for me. Cause I've noticed little changes but still see just me in the mirror. Congratulations on to lossq

Thanks!! It definitely does feel good to tell people I've lost 50 lbs! I feel a difference in some clothes but haven't had to shop yet. I am getting soft and squishy though lol

Anybody have trouble with eating brown rice. I'm going to make shrimp fried rice for my family tonight for dinner and I'm wondering how I'd react too the rice. I'll probably just eat some of the shrimp. But I was wondering if anyone else had tried brown rice yet

I am really soft and gushy too now. I'm hoping that is a good sign.

I am definitely softer and more jiggly....yay and boo all at the same time!

I have yet to try rice....rice was evil with my lap band and I'm just a tad scared of it, I'm cleared to eat it, just chicken :)

So I meant with my Nutritionist for my six week appointment.. Let me just say, I have never cared for her. Well, I understand that some nutritionists may be regimented and strict because they have non compliant patients (I'm compliant though) but mine has the personality of a piece of driftwood!!! I lost 36 lbs since my surgery 6 weeks ago and not even a "good job" came out of her mouth. If you going to work in the medical/mental health field, I strongly recommend a class in compassion!!!!!! My new name for her is the"NUT NAZI". Thank god I don't have to see her anymore... And if I need to see a nutritionist again ill ask for a new one. Ok done with my rant...

I get nothing but praise from my Dr office. And right now i am not losing big number which they don't expect because I lost 40 pounds before surgery. I think everyone here is doing wonderful.

About to attempt cream of wheat for the first time since D-day (dumping day...). Never thought a bowl of cream of wheat would scare me!!! I had 1/2 a Syntrax shake mixed in low fat milk right before I ate in an attempt to even things out :/. We shall see!!!!

      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.
