finally reached 199 after a two week stall Giving up legumes for a while they ate slowing down my progress (the carbs rich food I eat) Took too long to get here Celebrating with a Mani Pedi and maybe a vacation

Yes I did the same thing in the beginning and did not remember it at all

Two weeks should be fine. I also have a desk job, and realistically could have returned to work after a week. I was tired for a few days after surgery, but that went away at around day four. At six months out, I can eat anything that I want. I try to eat clean for the most part, but do have "bad for you" foods on occasion. I had a few alcoholic drinks at 4 1/2 months out (New Years Eve). I was fine, and didn't overdo it. I haven't had drinks since, because I just haven't felt like it. I did make myself throw up once a few months ago. I normally weigh and measure my food, and on that particular occasion, I was out to eat with friends. I either overate, or ate too fast (or a combination of the two). Long story short, I ended up vomiting. I was really pissed at myself, because I tried hard to keep this from happening. Since then, I have practiced asking for a to-go box when my food arrives. I then pack away everything except for what looks like a handful. I eat that, and take the rest home. It is all trial and error, and you learn from your mistakes.

I just had that moment too, I cleaned out my closet of old clothing that was too big. I spent a lot on all that clothing which is why I think I wished I may still "wanted" to fit them, but it was also a relief moment too.

That's really good weight loss! If I hit 3 lbs a week I'm super happy. You're doing great!

Thank you! I just hope I’m doing everything right I just don’t want to fail!

That's amazing!!! Keep up the good work!!! Sent from my SM-G930VL using BariatricPal mobile app

Do I miss trying to get onto a ride with my family only to realize I'm so big I couldn't go with them? No. No I don't miss that effing body at all.

I am puzzled by the question because why would anyone really like being fat? It is abject misery - every day is a social, physical, and mental challenge. I can't wait for this problem to be over and done with.

NOT. AT. ALL. My new life is beyond fabulous and I will never go back.
