Weight does tend to fluctuate during the week, but it's more likely mental. After years of being fat, it's often hard to see yourself as anything but the fat girl. :/

Yeah I get like this sometimes. I'm a few days from the 5 month mark. Some days I look in the mirror and go wow I'm so small and other days I'm like I'm huge. I think it's mental and the clothes I may be wearing that day.

I've been at goal for a few months and there are days I look in the mirror and think, "girl you look hot!" and then there are days where I think "well, hello there, fatty". I think a lot of people feel like this- even those who have never been fat. I weigh everyday so I know I'm not actually any fatter on fat days than I am on thin days, so I think it's just a mental thing. I have friends who have always been in the 120's and it's funny to me because before I would roll my eyes when they would say they were having a fat day (you're 125 pounds, please don't tell me you feel fat), but now I understand that even at very healthy weights we all have days where we feel like a busted can of biscuits. On days I feel fat, I just eat less and workout more and I wake up in the morning feeling better.

I go through this too. In fact, my husband told me yesterday he was tired of hearing me say I'm fat. Lol.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
