Hi All - sounds like everyone is progressing and having bumps in the road like we are supposed to! That sucks but it's a journey so I'm good with my bumps! I'm happy to report that I've broken the "onederland" mark and currently at 191 !! I'm down about 2 pants sizes and can get in to medium/large tops! So excited to be shopping in the regular sizes so many more options! On that note, I now have a ton of clothes that I can no longer wear. Is anyone on this board local to the San Antonio, Texas area? I have clothes in 2x 1x, 20, 22 - tops and bottoms. All in good condition and I'd like to share them with someone who is going through the same change I am. Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this? I know buying new clothes is pretty expensive--I just went on a shopping spree at the second hand store cause I know they won't fit for long :)

I am planning to ship them to someone with the deal that when she is gone she will then ship them to someone else.

I have a friend I met here that has been sending me her handme downs they rock! I've been giving all my clothes to a friend and told her what she doesn't want to pass them on as well. It's a nice feeling!

So I just was at the mall just to try on clothes to see where I was - NY&CO was having a killer sale and I haven't been able to wear anything but sweaters from there in years.

Well, I bought two pairs of jeans, six tops and two belts! Size 16 pants and Large tops! From a 22/24 and XXL!

So I stopped and ordered a diet lemonade today on my way home-- so sick of Water and unsweetened tea! Lol they screwed up and gave me regular. Dump city! So angry! I have so much I needed to get done tonight. I kinda want to call up and tell them that they made me really sick by screwing up my order (which I made very specific).

I would call. What if you had been a diabetic? That would have caused major problems besides dumping!!

Almost had another breakdown at the store again. I'm so exhausted from work (13 hour day today) and I so didn't want to have to cook anything. I checked out all of the frozen meals they had and everything seemed to have either Pasta or rice in it. So frustrating!! I've been having issues with reheated meats lately (they've been getting stuck or just make me feel like throwing up) so I'm at a complete loss on what to do. Maybe I'm just over tired. Ugh.

Call, but remember that it was probably an honest mistake made by an overworked, underpaid employee. Still, it's important to let management know that these mistakes can have serious consequences.

Struggling. Not sure why. Maybe freaking out a bit? I have a great therapist who helps me a lot so that's a blessing.

Have you all noticed how sometimes the changes in your bodies seem to happen overnight? I'm more than 25 lbs lighter than i have ever been in my adult life, and I think that the latest changes are what's wigging me out. I've never seen this girl. More and more people are making comments (very positive comments). Yet I'm the same girl inside.

Anyway, thanks for the vent room.

ARGH!! Srsly... ARGH!.. I'm hungry. I've tried to space out my "snacks" so that I'm not continually eating but geeez!. I wonder since I had a hysterectomy back in 06 and have no idea when I'm ovulating, if that could be contributing my my hunger. I know it's mostly mouth hunger and I'm keeping my Snacks to sugar free Jello and sugar free puddin' but with work being a real stress ball and me wanting to move to TX sooner rather than later :throws hands up in the air and walks in a circle: to be with my sweet grandbebe, I am frustrated beyond the max. I can't even get excited about the class I'm taking. :sighs:.. Sorry for the whine dear friends but my cheese has rotted. :'(

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
