I didn't track my calories yesterday but I got a spoon of yams a couple spoons of potatoes and gravy a piece of turkey a piece of ham some green Beans and some Pasta salad. And later a bite of pecan pie. A bite of chocolate pie. A few bites of banana cream cake and a bite of ambrosia salad so I probably went over my calories too. But I didn't over stuff myself which was good. And I had a nice time.

That doesn't sound too bad! Just think, last year instead of eating a bite or two of desert, you would have had a piece of each, I know I would have!

I was able to eat a piece of turkey, a couple bites of squash (that my hubby made special for me, no butter no brown sugar), a couple bites of potatoe, and a spoonful of stuffing. Not gonna lie tho, before bed I was able to eat a sliver of pie! Best thing I've eaten since surgery:)

U all didn't do bad. I didn't stuff at one time. I just nibbled all day on the wrong things. I only took a spoon of cake, the other sweet was sugar free banana pudding. All the rest was just good southern food :(

I'm down only 40lbs. At this point, I have stalled for an equal amount of time to when I have lost weight, and it is getting seriously frustrating. I have so much further to go, qnd had hoped to be a good 20-30lbs ahead of where I am now. This morning was the first time I really broke down crying about it all. After washing my hair and seeing so much hair come out again, I really started to think that it isn't worth it for 40lbs. I hope I can feel better about it soon, but I feel like I have no control over any of this.

Don't feel bad, I am only down 34 lbs and yes I have the hairloss too! I stalled for a month I am just hoping it has started to move again for good.

You know what, though, has your body changed a lot even with the slower weight loss? I seem to still be shrinking even though the scale isn't moving down.

Yes although the scae is moving a little, I can tell I'm losing a lot of inches in my hips, thighs,basically all over. I've even gone down a couple of panty and bra sizes.

Hi everyone. I am down 50 pounds since my surgery date August 27th 2013. And I am very happy with my process. This weight I gain happened over a 4year period so I know it will take time and patients with excerise and good eating habits to come off. I given myself 1 year to loose 100 pounds. I'm half way there. Be proud of any weight loss. SW257. CW 207.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
