Yessssss… 8 days down and 9pds dowm

Is it just me or does anyone else feel a little emotional at times? I’m so happy for this opportunity - it can feel surreal and overwhelming in a pleasant way at times x

Hang in there! This is a great video describing what is going on: The TLDR Version: In the first three weeks, you are losing more weight than is possible given your calorie deficiency, that is extra water around your body. You actually become dehydrated in those first few weeks until your body regulates itself and starts to store some more water to get you out of that dehydrated state. That usually happens around week 3, so you stall. You are STILL losing fat, you are just retaining more (needed) water than the fat you are losing that week.

@hills&valleys Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words. Hugs back.

I am a firm believer that food addiction is just like most others. With that in mind, having a slice of pizza is like “It’s just one little shot of tequila” for an alcoholic. One leads to two…and so one. I am also a firm believer that this is the main reason people gain back weight or completely fail after Bariatric surgery. It’s a constant struggle. Keeping that perspective, one slice of pizza is not worth it. I’m not perfect and will fail at times but keeping the above perspective helps to ensure I will be successful in the long run. If I tell myself that one slice is fine, I will soon convince myself that so is two.

Mr Hill, you have no ass. 😂😂😂

This is a sample from my doctor.

And youre down to 165??? I am very torn between being super excited for you and very bummed for myself. I also had surgery october 3rd of 2022. When I met my surgeon in May last year I was 282, surgery day was 256, and im still mid 180s.

Congratulations babe 🎊🎉

You may not think you are criticizing but oh boy, you are.
