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.

I'm on my pre op Protein liquid diet; surgery on Monday ????

I also use the jar, (my starting weight was 254 I am now 232) but I always forget how many rocks (lbs) ive already put in I'll take any tips on that!

And the canvas I love that idea thank you for sharing I'm sooo going to ale one for me!!!'

And yes you are super adorable, you are def my inspiration, when I saw your photo it reminds me of my body type; the thought of being in wonderland and having the body like yours excited and encourages me, all in just what 6 wks since surgery?

Can I ask what workout program you do? Thank you

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

Thank you for sharing your exercise regime with me!!! I'm so excited tomorrow is my big day!!
