I actually had tiny bite of a lot of things. I was kinda shocked how I felt just as content and not as miserable thinking I couldnt be just as gluttonous as the others around me. I tried new things and actually made some new discoveries in cheeses etc I love! Today was the easiest day I've had since we moved out of our house getting Protein in by food alone. Hope all you guys had a wonderful thanksgiving and a happy day!

We are in KY with his family today. When we head back sun we will be staying in a short term condo til after New Years then onward to CO!

At least you didn't have to cook dinner today...I did that in the middle of a move once, and ended up in tears. Happy thanksgiving!

I made the mistake if eating while I carved....didn't chew well enough, and was sick to my stomach at dinner. Refunded later ( sorry, tmi). Had a miniscule bite if apple crumb pie later...new recipe, hadn't tried it. I was shocked how quickly it triggered cravings. No more for me!

Was good to get out of the house today for a while. I survived the Thanksgiving feast; had turkey and a spoon of stuffing. It was my nephews 8th birthday today too and he made me have a tiny piece of his huge chocolate chip cookie. It was really just a nibble and was so good! Couldnt bear to let him down! :) hope everyone else did good too!

Glad you had a good day! You have a great attitude, Dori!

Thanks so much! I feel like my attitude is waning lately. I try to stay positive but it is very hard. ;)

Ate pretty decent, but I did eat the guts of a slice of homemade pumpkin pie. Yes it was good but I got my cravings taken care of.

I hosted dinner and was too busy to eat right. I had a couple Protein Shakes, a little broccoli and cheese, and turnips w/carrots. I don't tolerate poultry unless it's ground. It's the first day in a long time that I didn't get all my Protein. Then three hours of sleep before fifteen hours of Black Friday shopping (8 hours w/daughter in MA, and 7 hours w/daughter in RI). I ate better during shopping thanks to my trusty lunchbag - it goes everywhere I go. :-)

I like going out! It's the first black Friday I've had off in seven years - I finally had enough seniority to get it off. My holiday shopping was done but I found a bunch of sweaters for myself for less than ten bucks each. It was nice to spend some time with my girls. One works and is doing an internship in a Providence hospital - she's so busy I never see her anymore.

December 1st already! Where did the time go? We are entering our 8th month post op! I am stalled between 217-220 lbs. Want to get to at least 170 but not sure that will happen. Am fairly immobile for now after spine surgery and mysterious leg pain that followed! ;) Absolutely can not wait to be able to start some exercise. I've lost 123 lbs so far with basically no exercise due to my bad back. I can only wonder where I'd be if I was able to even go for a good walk!?!? I may have already reached goal. Oh well, it is what it is. Glad everyone is doing well and enjoying life! Truly a great outcome I must say! ♥

Slow and steady wins the race my friend! I have no doubt u will make goal. We will be cheering u on right along the way. Also...123lbs is absolutely amazing and nothing to take lightly. That's losing 12 supermodels!!

You'll get there, Dori. I think your loss has been astounding; a real testament to your commitment. I have been sidelined by my inability to exercise vigorously, too, but I figure we just have to trust the process. The important thing is for you to heal right now. You got this, my friend. Be well.

      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!!
