Hello! All's good here, I seem to be loosing much slower now though! I had surgery March 8, was 242 day of surgery, and since I didn't have a preop diet I hadn't lost a lot of weight before... I am currently 161. I've lost 81 lbs in almost 7 months! The last 2 months I've averaged about 6 lb. a month and this month I lost 6 inches, last month only 1.... I'm 5'2 and am wearing a size 9 or 8 jeans and a med/large shirt, also I'm wearing a size medium underwear which seems so strange to me!!

I'm also going through some of the head games where I feel out of place shopping in the smaller section, but I had a cool thing happen the other day, I was looking for a blazer at a thrift store for an interview and I was trying them on in the isle (which I would have never done before, for fear of it not fitting) and some of them the buttons wouldn't close over my boob area and I was just like ugh almost!A plus size women overheard me and commented "I know what you mean". Lol So a few minutes later she comes up to me with a coat and says this is a great one, I'm not sure what size you wear though...so I thanked her and I looked at the jacket and it was a 8/10 which was the size I was trying on and needing! I just thought it was cool because it showed me how I think of myself really isn't how others see me....

Anyways sorry to blab on lol [emoji4][emoji254]

Doing ok here. Down 51 lbs. It has been slow but steady for me since the start. I think part of that is due to the fact that I am a grad student and it is difficult to get out and do a lot of exercise with all the reading. Took 3 less credits (1 less class) this term and hope that gives me a tad more time to get out and walking more.

Most of my 'shopping' has been from the boxes of clothes that I have here at home. I had done a medically supervised all liquid diet approximately 4 yrs ago and had a bunch of clothes from them in smaller sizes. What has been more difficult is to let go of the pieces I had that made me feel like I looked good. One of my kids finally told me I needed to quit wearing them as they looked big and baggy on me.

As for food intolerance....spicy things and stuff with skin - ie apples/grapes/tomatoes do not seem to sit well. I LOVED spicy food, and still do, only now it is with the tums as dessert. Things with skin just makes my tummy not feel good - Pavlov theory at work as I have little desire for them after trying a couple of times.

Hardest challenge.... Mr Love him dearly but he loads the plate way to much if he gets food for me. Yes, I know I should do my own plate and normally I do. This last term was a bugger and often when he got up I would be up in my office until dinner was ready. Trying to be nice he would do a plate for me. Had to ask him to not do that and try to not hurt his feelings as I know he was doing it to be nice.

LOVE hearing how we all are doing. Great things coming our way!

How's everyone doing? I know for me, the weight loss is extremely slow noa

It's slow for me now too. I'm beginning to worry that I've hit maintenance.

I've lost 75% excess weight and have been stuck for the past month.

My lowest was 168 last week. Today, back to 170. I think it's because I was eating ham, which is pretty salty, so maybe Water weight.

<<fingers crossed>>
