Always glad to help a fellow loser.

I used to be a Water baby ( I literally dream of swimming, and drinking water), and now I find that now I have to get back into the habit..

Just keep it up, and it will fall off. I am so keen to see if I am still losing but I forgot to pack my scale :-(

That might be a good thing... You will work extra hard because you don't know where you are and you will have that exciting weigh in when you get home. Have a AWESOME time even tho it's work! LOL

You will do great:) I bet you will even surprise yourself on the amount you loose, when you return.

Plain water makes a difference? I only like plain water when it's hot and the water is cold.

Should just boil it then and drink at desired temp.

So after my last stint away in Madagascar, I am home, and my Dear friend Mr. scale has kindly reported 7lbs lost. Which brings my total to 49lbs down. So I am content, and bought a new pair of jeans 2sizes down, but fitted into a pair 4 sizes down, but was just a little to snug for my liking. Would never had got close 3months ago.

Well that's my update for today.

Trust everyone else is progressing nicely. For the over 50 ppl that had their op in March '13 there is only 3 or so of us still posting :(

Yay!!! Happy for your weight loss. I'm 9 weeks post op and l feel like I'm loosing slow. When I look at my starting weight for pre op and where I'm at now...well then I realize its not so slow. I would've never lost that amount without WLS. I'm really upset that my cravings for sweets is back:( I'm struggling with that urge!! I just keep reminding myself that I did WLS for the out of control diabetes. WLS put my diabetes in remission and that I need to fight the urge for sweets!

      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!!
