Ok this week I decided to up my Water intake. I will see what difference this will make. My Protein intake is steady between 60- 80 sometime higher. My calories usually range from 600 - 1000, Carb are below 60 normally, low fats, sugar and sodium all low. Excerising three to four times a week doing spinning class, walking the treadmill and toning class every now and then. Water seems to be my weak area. Just trying to keep myself motivated. I know I will get there. ALL THE JUNIES seems to be doing wonderful you all keep up the good work.

So today I turn 39 and feel like I'm just really starting to live life. Went shopping last night for a dress to wear tonight and what an experience. I've lost 72 pounds so far and just can't register how much smaller I am. I guess it takes the brain a minute to catch up to the changes. I am now in a size 14 dress from my all time high of size 22--that's four dress sizes! I was amazed and didn't leave the store depressed over that fact that nothing fit. I can see how people transfer their food addiction to a shopping addication :) Thanks for all the support you guys show on this board it really helps!

I feel like I'm making the wrong choices lately. Today I had three French fries and the other day at my brothers birthday lunch I went crazy and had like 8 sweet potato fries and some lemon soufflé cake. It so hard to say no to things sometimes. The head hunger is really starting to kick in and it's amazing how powerful it is. I know tomorrow's another day and I can always start over but I just wish I could get over it and for it not to present ALL THE TIME. This is the hardest thing I've ever done. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Hang in there sweetie! Remember we need to learn how to live. Make the good choices the majority of the time and you'll be fine.

Sweet potato fries are ok as long as they are baked.

I do understand what you talking about, most of us do understand. It's hard sometimes, fighting the temptation, an addiction we once had, most of us opted for surgery to run away from it, the drama it caused in our life that contributed to our sicknesses, it's amazing how it keeps chasing you.. I been eating a lot of sunflower seeds, Doritoes, I even had one toll house chocolate chip and walnut cookie, I had baked it for my husband, the smell, I couldn't help it, I'm lucky I didn't dump, this lets me know I've got to be stronger, tougher, we can do this so don't feel guilty for a slip up.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
