Congratulations, I feel a bit discourage today (it's been 2 months since my surgery and I still feel fat). Looking at your photos is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing :-)

Congratulations, you're doing great!!! Restaurant eating is easy! Skip the pre-dinner bread and cocktails, order a nice cut of meat (don't worry about the sauce), trade-in the starch for a second veggie, skip dessert, and take the leftovers home for tomorrow's lunch. That's still more than you can eat in one meal, right? And by the way, a burger with cooked mushrooms and onions (and blue cheese if you like) is even more amazing without the bun! Enjoy the ride!!!

Thanks!! Yea restaurant eating still amazes me .. I love it even more I'm basically paying for lunch and dinner I'm always tickled by that. I'm going to have to try the burger with the mushrooms I've never had them before. Sounds tasty!

I always joke that I'm a "cheap date" now, because I'm always ordering off the appetizer menu or just sharing an entree.

Right!! My husband is way more willing to go out now!! He says this is the cheapest he's ever spent. He loves it.

You are so welcome. I have had those days and it's an uphill battle some days are better then others... How the diet? Exercise regimen? that's what's usually the situation with me. My eating to many wheat crackers with my tuna lol. It will get better. Trust me!

Yes the process would have been much faster had I seen the psychologist sooner his schedule was hectic that's what took the longest. I was done with everything by July! But thank you I'm totally embracing everything. And enjoying life for the first time in a long time. Congrats on starting your journey! @@Muted_Tummy

Thanks I feel fantastic too. And so will you! I was a ball of nerves leading up to surgery. I was worried about every single thing all for nothing it went fine. But you can't help it .. The day I stopped worrying was right after they were done I wouldn't change anything about it.

Fantastic!! I got the surgery because I didn't want to be the fat mom at the park, too. You look very healthy and happy. I bet your kids are happy to have an active mom.

They are. They try not to say it a lot without out saying I love you no matter what size you are lol. They are careful because they don't want to hurt my feelings I suppose .. But we all know mommy has changed and we all love it!!

You look fantastic!

Thank you!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
