I'm down 50% of the weight I needed to lose. ????????

I'm half way to my goal. Down 45 lbs. 45 to go. I broke my foot and was not allowed to put weight on it for 8 weeks, then within a week of the boot coming off, I developed a hairline fracture in the same foot. Again no weight on it. With limited mobility, I guess 45 lbs isn't so bad.

I can't eat bread, which I guess is a good thing. I'd kill for a small bite of grilled cheese with tomato soup. Maybe someday. Right now, it clogs up everything and causes pain.

I had a Mrs Beasley doll. I loved family affair. ????

I'm down 38 since the end of March but I get the cast off my foot tomorrow. I hope being able to put weight on my foot and move more helps me move along faster.

I am so grateful for y'all. I am really struggling too. I have another three weeks before I can bear weight on my broken foot and I am struggling with boredom and mindless eating. Fortunately, most of its watermelon, but my stomach also fickle. I would love to eat more salad, but it won't go down. I went for my 3 month appt and I've lost 30 lbs. I am way behind where I'm supposed to be. It would really help to hear how others are getting beyond this temporary hurdle.

That's so awesome! I am so envious. I broke my right foot 3 weeks ago and am not allowed to put any weight on it. My progress has come to a screatching halt. I have three weeks to go before the cast comes off and I can drive to PT. You can't believe how much I miss cleaning house. Lol.

That's awesome Chrystee. Great work. I've been stalled for three weeks now. I can't wait for this to happen to me.

I love this board. Thanks for the support ladies.

I have lost almost 30 lbs but not lost a full size. How does that happen? I haven't lost a pound in two weeks. I can't eat salads no matter how much I chew. I'm so frustrated right now. I'm a positive person, and grateful for this opportunity. Just stuck.

I try hard (and am mostly successful) in not weighing myself more than once a week. My Surgery date was March 23, and I'm down 26 lbs, not not down a full size yet. The great thing about this surgery is that there is no turning back. We may be tempted, we may stall, we may feel like crying; but it's all part of our journey to better health. Keep up the positive additive ladies. This too shall pass.

I will also be one month on April 23 and I've lost 20 lbs. ????

Wow. Congrats Elle. It's been a rough 3 weeks for me, but I'm starting to feel better. Today I was able to eat my cream of wheat without any pain. Yeah!!! I find if I drink warm tea it helps me get more liquid in. I have been a supersize cold drink person all my life, so this is really hard. I love the feel of a cold drink, but just can't do it right now.

I'm eating about 5-600 cal a day and I haven't lost anything in 10 days. It is soooo frustrating, but thanks to yall, I know I just need to be patient. Thank you for the support!

I'm pretty sure my system is in starvation mode. I can't get much of anything down, but not losing at all. I hope this passes soon. Has anyone else had their staples turned in and oversewn? It feels like I'm trying to swallow down a very narrow straw.
