Today marks one month that I gave myself a second chance at a normal life I'm so excited for this coming year. But for now, I'm thankful for the little changes I feel and see in my body. I haven't weighed myself since my post op appointment and I refuse to until I go back on the 22nd. 10 days after surgery I was down 20 pounds. So I don't know where I'm at now but I'm excited to find out!!

Looking good!!! And you have a much stronger will than me! I try not to weigh...doesn't happen often

Great job!

Thanks!! Lol ummm it also helps that I don't have a scale nor do I plan on getting one soon. I just know in the beginning the weight is up and down and I don't want to get all crazy obsessed.

I'm pretty crazy right now...it hasn't moved in a week or more!! I'm TRYING to think "it's only a stall" but it's sooo hard!

How far along are you?

5 weeks out

Oh okay! So we're like a week apart. I know the week before my cycle was awful. I felt extra heavy and super bloated. I could see it in my feet and face and everything. I KNOW I wasn't losing then. I hope it's not like that every month

Great job

I don't have a cycle anymore...(hysterectomy). I still have my ovaries so maybe that's what it is, but idk.
