So I'm almost 9 days post op! And up until today it has been really rough. Mainly emotionally rough. I cried all the time. I still am very emotional.

But when I weighed myself today and saw 222.5 I was so happy. I've lost 35 pound since I started this journey. 13 has been since surgery. The shirt in my picture use to be snug. Now it's huge! So I had to tie it up to wear it! But this was a huge confidence booster!

I didn't have any pain meds.

No major pain like I have been having.

Puréed food went down well.

I didn't do so hot on Protein Shakes but Ima work on that tomorrow for sure.

I never really felt full with the liquids. Even after surgery. But I feel fullness now that I'm on purée I can definitely feel it!

Just wanted to give an update! And say thank you for all the support! Also to those who have recently had wls, if it seems terrible, it gets better. I'm not 100% but I'm better than I have been. post-262421-14443607433709_thumb.jpg post-262421-14443607615672_thumb.jpg post-262421-14443607865277_thumb.jpg

It's just a regular paint canvas I found in a two pack that was cheap at a craft store. Picked a pain color that matched my room. Painted it. Then found scrap poking flowers and stuff that matched my room theme. Then took a white paint pen and ruler and spent forever writing all the numbers.

The other half of it is under my bed. It goes down to my goal weight of 135. I'll find it tomorrow and post a pic of the other half.

I do a mix of things. I've worked with a friend who is working on becoming a personal trainer in the past. She taught me how to lift weights. So I lift, run on the treadmill, do the stair climber, I swim laps, and I recently started adding in yoga and Pilates classes. I mix it up. I think doing different things on a regular basis really helped me. I haven't really stalled and I'm 7 weeks out. The longest I've gone is about 4 days without a loss. I usually lose half a pound or more a day. But everyone is different and losses at their own pace when their body is ready. I'm sure my time with stalls is coming soon. But I'm going to embrace it. Best of luck to you. And thank you all for the support <3

      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?
