I think you should be flattered. I haven't had anyone look my way since becoming so heavy.

About 30 pounds less than I am now, I stopped into a convenience store before work. A guy came up to me and said, your beautiful and said I should join the site BBW=big beautiful women. Not a hit since, about 10 years ago. Lol

I've been married 33 years so I'm not interest in flattery.

Congrats on your weight loss Eveything!

OK so what I put about the construction workers was mostly a joke. But later in the day today, as I was driving home, someone pulled up next to me in a truck, rolled their window down, and shook a large, fluorescent sex toy at me. Now if that doesn’t say “hey you’ve lost weight!” I don’t know what does! I guess I am grasping for straws here. But I am getting some attention! Haha!

I. Can't. Even. Who keeps that in their vehicle? Too funny.

Do they keep it in their car so the children cannot find it and ask questions? And glow in the dark makes it funnier yet!😛😵😛

🤣🤣🤣🤣. This was my exact thought!
Can you imagine being pulled over by the cops and having to explain that being in your car??

Goddy222--if it helps....last night I went to Chili's with my husband and daughter. We used to both order the Presidente Margaritas. Last night he ordered one and I had a sip (the first alcohol to pass my lips). It was too salty and I didn't even want another sip. Plus, it sorta burned going down. If you are at the beach with someone, just ask if you can have a taste. It will probably be all you need!

I had a miserable Saturday--so nauseous that I couldn't eat or take any of my meds. Things are better today, but I'm still a bit queasy. On the plus side, I've lost 2 pounds. After being stalled at 188 for almost a week, I'm now at 186!

It rained all weekend AND I ate 8 salt and vinegar potato chips. I must have hit the part of this journey when I crave the bad stuff again. Whoa. Not good. I did buy some salt and vinegar almonds to eat from now on when I have the salty crunchy crazies. I felt like I was really slipping this weekend once I had the potato chips and had no adverse reaction. PLUS I only lost like 4 ozs in the last two weeks. Putting things in perspective, though, I'm feeling good overall!

Any idea why you had all that nausea? Can you attribute it to anything? Sounds awful. Congrats on the weightloss. I'm stalled at 189..... Don't want the nausea though. BTW, could you take Zofran? It's a lifesaver for me (the kind that dissolve in your mouth).

Okay so yesterday I found myself googling “low calorie mint juleps” in honor of Derby Day.
Then I remembered that actually going to the Derby is on my bucket list.
In fact, hubs and I have talked to all of our friends and family and whoever is interested is going to go with us in 2021.
Even though that’s still 2 years away, I decided I want to look as FABULOUS as possible on that day and I will drink my mint julep in 2 years rather than yesterday.

You will look FABULOUS in your Derby hat!

Okay so these are not salt and vinegar, but I keep a bag of spicy Pork rinds in my pantry.
Whenever I get a craving, I go for a handful of those and they totally satisfy my crunch craving, but I don’t get any carbs and have the resultant carb rebound.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
