Memily

I started drinking some drinks about........on 3-4 months out. No beer and no carbonation. My drink of choice is Cucumber Vodka with Water.....and if I get really crazy a shot of tequila You are a cheep date after. I won't get behind the wheel even if I have a half of a drink because I never truly know how the drinks will hit my, watch yourself cause everytime will be different. I do not go out for drinks unless I have my husband or a friend that is a REALLY good friend who knows my surgery history ( I kept my surgery secret to almost everyone) that way if they notice I hit a wall fast they take me home.

Ohhh, I'm thinking I'm going to be uttering those exact words when I've had mine done.. Can you have a soft boiled egg or scrambled? I'm a beef eater, and going months without will throw me into massive withdrawls. Good luck!

Wow....what journey. I had my surgery November 25, 2013 and I am now 14 lbs away from my goal. I hit 169 this morning, I can't even remember the last time my scale was here. Words can not even describe how relieved I am to be so close to my goal of 155. When I set my goal at 155 it was to be "healthy" it was the heaviest weight I could be for a "healthy" BMI for me. My life has changed so much from then.....I have confidence...I like to go shopping....I DANCE....seriously I now like to go out with the girls and dance. Best decision I have ever made for myself. Loving my new life!

My biggest regret is the lack of energy. I have orthostatic hypotension (dizzy when I stand up fast) due to low blood pressure. I find that I'm having it way more often. And yes, I drink all my Water and get my food in. As far as eating is concerned it's a bit wasteful to eat out at times. I would LOVE to have leftovers the next day, but some things just don't keep. I find that a "side" of something holds me over. I also kind of miss the length of the meal. Does that make sense? Umm..I'm done eating in 7 minutes and have to wait for everyone else to finish. It's weird, I know, but it kind of changes the experience.

Stalls are all part of the process. The first few are frustrating but then you just get use to them. Be honest with yourself during this time, don't cheat or get discouraged, and keep on tracking. My last stall was 3 weeks long. IT WAS HARD but I got through and lost 4 lbs the next week.


Also....don't know if it is true or not...I tell myself it is time for my skin to catch up to my weight loss. LOL

At the seminar they told me to aim for BMI of 25 as goal so yours sound good.

Not doing it sooner. Not giving people who did it before the credit they deserved for making such a lifestyle change. I am only 8 weeks out and soooo happy. My hubby admitted to my family he was really worried on how it would effect our house dynamic. He told !y mom it has been the best thing that could happen cause he has lost weight, we can still do or normal meals just modified, and I am happier with myself.

I am by no means a vet I am 4 months out...but I would do it again in a heartbeat. As of today I have lost a total of 74lbs with my pre-surg diet.

So this week several people have started to comment on how skinny I have gotten. Then 2 people today asked me if I have compared photos since I started. I realized I hadn't.....so here they are. First picture was taken 5 days after my surgery and the other is from today. What a journey it has been so far. The stalls are hard but I am pushing through them...all 3 of them so far. I only have 35LBS LEFT TO GO!
