So i just got back from a trip to Puerto Rico (work trip) and man that place is not for people who had weight loss surgery. 1st there is no sugar free anything. especially drinks. No sugar free gatorade, powerade ect... Nothing low carb. Bread is a huge huge part of everything. I even went to a walmart and nothing. just some protein bars and such. Only protein shakes i could find were just regular ensure and some other strange brand i have not seen. Best part was i finally fit in a coach seat without issue. before i would spill over to the next seat or be so tight it would be so uncomfortable. Now i fit perfect with plenty of room to spare. Got to say i am happy to be back.

Brunch. The smoked tofu I didn't finish.

It can certainly be challenging to maintain a low-carb or sugar-free diet while traveling, especially in places where those options may not be widely available. However, it's not impossible to make healthy choices while on the road. One strategy that can be helpful is to plan ahead and research the area you'll be visiting to identify any grocery stores or markets that may have healthier options. You can also bring your own snacks and meals with you, such as protein bars, nuts, and low-carb meal replacements. Another strategy is to focus on ordering high-protein, low-carb options when dining out. For example, a grilled chicken breast with a side of vegetables, or a salad with protein like grilled fish or chicken. It's also important to remember that weight loss is a journey, and it's important to be kind to yourself. You can always get back on track once you're back home. It's good to hear that you were able to fit comfortably in the coach seat, which is a great reminder of the benefits of your weight loss journey.

Yesterday I went to the optometrist. Previously when they raised the chair in would moan and groan under my weight. This time it was a smooth and very quiet ride. Yay!.

Mine started small and phased into a different version of small! HAHA! I think was the only big girl in the world with small boobs!

It's great to be past the halfway point, isn't it? I'm there too, although I haven't lost much weight so far this month. I was hoping to get to 90 kilos this moths, but I'm not sure I will. The good news is that I'm 91 kilos now, the same that I weighed after my son was born almost ten years ago. So, everything I gained in the last decade is now gone. The exercise routine is not going well, unfortunately. There's too much ice and snow to do a lot of walking outside, and both my son and I got sick in the first week of January, and I'm still recovering. J haven't had a lot of energy after work, but hopefully I can make it to the gym next week.

I don't know your height, but a size 18 is a smaller starting point, so as Catwoman said, you may not lose much. However, you don't get to choose, unfortunately! Weight comes off where it comes off. I haven't lost much in cup-size; I went from an E cup to a DD. But they are a sad, sad shadow of their former selves in terms of firmness! You might be fine, but you won't know until you hit goal, then it's a question of whether you go the plastics route, or learn to love the looser version of yourself!

You'll surely lose something, but there's no way to tell how much. Maybe start saving up to get plastic surgery..?

I also hate the word "obese". High cringe factor for whatever reason.

Wow, now that's worth considering. I've had IBS since my teens. Thanks. I just noticed your weight loss - 180lbs in 3 months? Wow, just wow.
