Hi from UK, Ive been booked in for surgery in July and was told to go on 12 week diet. I thought that's excessive as I've seen heavier people only do 2-3 weeks max. I have to do 9 weeks on milk and jelly, then 3 weeks on weight watchers soup and Muller. For example I've started today and I'm at weight I should be on 20th if I have like healthy protein based meal once a day in the 9 weeks that should be fine isn't it? I had boneless chicken today and weight didn't fluctuate thankfully so one meal a week for 9 weeks should be fine? Sorry if I'm rambling

I have been overweight my whole life. My highest weight was 284 back in October of 2022. I have tried many weightloss directions including keto, fasting, tracking calories, appetite suppressing drugs, and even weight watchers. I start off good and end up just spiraling downward and stop. I really think this tool is going to be my key to success.

With almost everyone I've encountered who lost a lot of weight rapidly and may have looked "too thin" for a while, it's a temporary thing, just until the body has the chance to shift fat around to different places and even everything out, which it doesn't necessarily do during the weight loss phase. Plus, it's an initial shock when you're used to seeing someone (including yourself in the mirror) look one way and now they are very different and it's jarring. I know within a year at the most after my brother had VSG and went from 300+ lbs to around 150 lbs (which was very skinny because he's 6ft tall), his appearance went from shockingly skinny to totally normal and healthy, even though his weight didn't go up during that time. Within another year after that, he'd gained several pounds and was at a weight he maintained for several years after that. It was all just part of the process.

9 days out is probably a bit early to be eating those types of foods and if you are making it with mayo you probably aren't setting yourself up for success

Outfit of the day. I love having girly moments in dresses, but this is what I normally wear.

I’m currently in Brazil so everything I got is pretty casual.

I'm heading out for an early dinner, meeting Boo's son for the first time. 😳 Trying to look uber casual, like this is nbd. I totally didn't try on 10 outfits, or anything like that .... 😬

Date night (and it’s about 100 degrees today)

Off to a Christmas in July day with my quilt group. I'm going to need a couple more layers before I venture outside, its freezing.

Cute outfits! I’ll play too.
