Okay...so we all know that our mind is the real beast to tame during this process. I find myself essentially eating the same foods week after week. I do this because right now i am focusing on my mental changes and i can cook new things at any time. I figure we have a"honeymoon period" for a reasona nd I am using it to my fullest capacity. My clothes are getting to big and i had to cut my hair off because it is falling out! I just took a new side by side because i dont see anything when i look in the mirror and that is totally discouraging! Some days i am frustrated that i can only eat 1/2 cup of food and some days i dont care if i eat at all. I have been riding this rollercoaster for more than 30 years and i continue to ride now. I want you all to know that you can do this...you are strong enough...you are worth it! As i say goodbye to 70 pounds at the 4.5 month mark....i say....

Here is to 2017...lets make it great!!!

Oh my goodness girl.....you have totally rocked this. I'm so happy for you. And the whole mental thing IS the way to work this. Thank you for sharing.

I'm doing pretty good sipping as much as I can but not so easy. I had nausea pretty much all day. No pain though and doing my walks.

I had my surgery 12/22. After reading through some other posts I find myself extremely fortunate. I didn't experience any nausea other than when in the anesthesia induced stupor when they were moving me from one bed to the other between surgery and my room and no uncontrollable pain. I have taken very little pain meds since I've been home.

I have found if I don't eat on schedule I'll dry heave, not a pleasant experience.
