Ahhh...hope dad at least had a nice rest at the hospital and be home and all well today ❤️

You make a good point about the endorphins. I went from 100 to zero after plastics on the exercise front and I'm sure that is what contributed to my weepy/icky feels that first month. I stupidly went for a run at around 3 weeks post in an attempt to feel a bit better (cuz i always feel good after exercise) and injured myself, duh. So I suppose this makes us excise addicts?? If only they could bottle endorphin feels and then maybe I could just shoot it up my arm as needed. Transfer Addiction Confirmed. 😂😂😂😂

Assuming you are normal everything (no special medical conditions or superpowers), my insignificant (and totally unsubstantiated) opinion is that you will likely continue to lose weight at 1500, given your height and likely efficient metabolism due to your regular past exercise.

In a very UN-scientific comparison, we are similar-ish BMI's...assuming that I also am normal everything, I'm a good 1/2 a foot shorter than you and by my estimation don't/didn't exercise as much as you, and I lost weight when I dropped to 1500 to offset my lack of exercise due to an injured toe/foot earlier this year. It wasn't alot (lost about 6lbs over 3 months), but if I continued on that path it would have added up. Spoiler Alert: I gained almost all of those 6 lbs back now and pretty much back to my regular normal.

Obviously, this is just anecdotal evidence but still. As an aside, this is why I track everything (well, also because I am anal 😂) so I can look back and determine patterns/trends/causations, etc. Its not for everybody though, so I get it.

P.S. You know I love me some bikini shots. Bring 'em on!

Yep…constantly feeling like I want to cry, frustration with not having my normal energy levels, disinterest in preparing and eating food. Nice to know I am not the first to feel like this post-ps.

1500 calories not enough??? 😭😭😭 It is already a damn struggle. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
I don’t want to track calories😒😒 (petulant and whining). I guess I will just eat more peanut butter🤷‍♀️😂😂😂

I know tracking is a pain, but if your knee it was time limited, just to figure out your food volume needed to maintain could you do it? I bet a month would be enough-first week just track what you have been eating, next week increase by 100 cals/day, and then adjust the next couple weeks until you’re staying steady.

You are right. I need to track intake. I just don’t want to do it. I have been really busy and pretty much will be super busy until mid-August. It feels like a hard thing to commit to when I will be on the go with parties, camping, and vacation. I will try to track for a week, just to see what my cals look like, and go from there. I do need some data to adjust from. Whaaaa😭

I too have developed hypoglycemia. Yesterday I had a reading of 48 and I have gone as low as 37. I agree with you "no more simple carbs" This morning however my blood sugar is in the 180's.

You look wonderful! Do you mind me asking if insurance paid for any of your plastic surgery? If not, how much did it cost? I am currently pre op (surgery date is 1/18/22) so I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I am 54 and anticipate lots of loose skin. Hopefully you are feeling better these days and have figured out your reactive hypoglycemia issues.
