239.5!!!!!!! Woohoooo!!!!!

Good morning! 250.2 this morning.

You have been warned! So I started my period 1 week before surgery I have been flowing for 22 days. I'm tired of it. Anyone else go through this? I have a lady doc appointment Monday but good grief enough already.

251.7 almost time for a new goal!!!!

258.4

Current weight 261.1 goal weight 250

HEY!!! That's cool!!! Thanks for this Challenge! I can't wait till the next one!

262. I made my first goal but missed my revised one by 2 lbs. I'm so excited to be this far!!!! Hopefully I can start the next one at260!

I still have restless leg problems and I am almost 5 weeks out. I notice it happens the more tired I am. So I have started going to bed a little earlier and for the most part it's helping.

Thank you so much for that!! I do need to remember that I am learning and if I make mistakes I will learn! One mistake is not the end. But I am going to try my hardest to not make mistakes.

I start stage 2 of my diet tomorrow. I get to add soft foods. I all of the sudden am scared. I'm so afraid I'm Not going to make the right choices. That I am going to be tempted to cheat. That I'm going to fail. I had so many nightmares last night about loosing things that were important to me, or important to my job. My NUT is 4 hours away and I have another appointment with her next month. My husband is being SUPER SUPPORTIVE. He is going to start eating what I eat starting tomorrow. I am just scared. Anyone else feel this way?

I love this!!! And at the same time it completely blows my mind. I am so excited to reach that part of my journey. It seems so unreachable at this point. But I know I can do it!!

263.8

I just told him I was going out for surgery no details worked with HR no details. Worked with my disability management company they needed all the details but that was because I used Short term disability. They got all the details from my doc but do not share it and they don't know me personally. (That happens when you work for a multi billion dollar company) 3 co workers know but that is because one is my best friend one is my inspiration for getting the surgery and the other is on my wellness team and I felt it was ok to share with him.

Sunday's have always been rest days for my family. Sometimes we all get together for a big meal sometimes we just rest and eat. And eat. And eat. Today is the first "normal Sunday" of my new life. I'm doing ok a little sad but ok. I do really want the Mac and cheese my kids are having. Or some kind of treat or something. I am still on full liquids for another 10 days till I can move to soft foods. I'm doing really well just a little down today.

Time to set a new goal. Let's go for 260 this time Today's weight 272.27

It's always interesting to see the differences. I was clear liquids for surgery day plus the next 3 days then full liquids for 3 weeks then on to soft foods for 3 more weeks and then we discuss more at my next appointment.

You may ask if you can just bring in a list. My doc wanted a list of medications that I possibly might take. Over the counter, supplements, PRN prescriptions Everything. They took my list and told me what I could take after and gave me what I needed while in the hospital. They took me off all of my supplements all over the counter stuff except Tylenol. And took me off 3 of my prescriptions. Basically they left me on my omniproziol , my antidepressant, and a migraine med and added a vitamin.

I already have an appointment 18 months after my surgery to get my IUD removed. Lol. the whole reason I even started looking in to the surgery was because my Reproductive Specialist suggested it after 5 years of losses and tests and diets and all kinds of failure. One requirement for me to have surgery was ether a DEPO shot or an IUD.

Food dreams. I dreamed last night I got super frustrated about something (I don't remember what) but I went and got a Subway sandwich and cooked 3 packages of Ramen noodles! I remembered after I dished it up that there was no way I was gonna eat that much so I put some Of the broth and almost all of the noodles back. But I still say there and ate the entire sandwich!! Got to love crazy dreams.

Surgery went fantastic. I went home Friday. Today has been lots of drinking and walking. My right side is very sore especially standing up and sitting down. I'm feeling great and my mood is great. I'm ready to get moving again.

My head hunger has made a spectacular return. I know it's head hunger because, for example, I just finished 4 oz of Soup. And the only thing I could think about is crackers and then I WANTED crackers. I NEEDED crackers. No clue why the craving is there nothing really happened I think it's actually boredom. I'm ready to go back to work but not until I can stay off the pain pills. I need to find a hobby. I did go for a walk and while I was walking no cravings but I could only walk for like 15 minutes. Cravings came right back. I'm NOT hungry. I fact I'm almost too full because I drank some Water. Any suggestions?

You can do it! The first 2 days home were not that great. They were defiantly the worst. By Monday I was able to get out of the house and walk around the grocery store and it's all been uphill from there. I do still have some pain but it is manageable.

Well I blended up some bean with bacon soup and mixed in 1/2 a scoop of unflavored protein powder and started eating. Well as it cooled it got super thick like really thick pudding. I got about 4 spoonfuls in and had to stop. Now my sleeve is not happy with me. I'm going to try it one more time with just a spoonful of powder and if that still gets thick I will have to wait a couple more weeks to use it. Now I need to go rest my poor tummy.

Yeah I did use double the water. It usually does not get that thick. But I will play around with it.
