Sleeve it to Beaver

Having a hard time throwing food away. I'm fine not eating it. But when I can't get anyone else to cleanup the leftovers I struggle with throwing it away. It's not 'bad' food either. It's just there is more than a tbsp left that I can freeze for me later when I actually get to chew something. The old me would have cleaned it up for lunches over the next day or so. But, moving on. I have to. It's not about food. It's about life! I'll just have to start making smaller portions for my family. I can do this! Sent from my iPhone

So I am not noticing major changes but know they will come in time. But I am noticing my clothes are laying differently on my body. They are laying instead hugging and hitting bumps. I'll take this as a change! Sent from my iPhone

Congratulations. Rest well. You'll feel "better" in no time. Sent from my iPhone

Yay! I bet you feel amazeballs! Happy for you. Well done! As for me, feeling great! No hunger but also no energy. I run around the house all day but need to get out and walk more. Don 11.3 since June 1. Whoooop! Sent from my iPhone

Down another 6. I love that weight keeps coming off. Just waiting for my body to catch up. Haven't really noticed a difference. I know I will soon though. Can't wait! Feels good to be a loser! 234.4 Sent from my iPhone

Wasn't looking for it but found it anyway. Now to get on solid foods. Only 2.75 months. Ha ha http://www.pbs.org/parents/kitchenexplorers/2016/02/25/cheesy-pesto-cauliflower-flat-bread/ Sent from my iPhone

I make "pizza" in a shallow bowl. A touch of olive oil, with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and garlic powder. A thin layer of Mozzarella cheese next. Toppings like bacon, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, etc. Another thin layer of cheese. Microwave it for 30 seconds or so. YUM. YUUUUUM. Yes. Willing to get creative. Gotta get there first Sent from my iPhone

I had a realization about a half hour later. The old me would have ate half the pizza. And its probably not even that good. But I held strong and did get over it. Got in lots of Water. So there's that. My 'last supper' was a Lean Cuisine pizza. Ha ha I wish I liked mushrooms! I have been low carb in the past and plan to try my best with that in the future. I'll be making cauliflower and broccoli crusted crust. Sent from my iPhone

My 9 year olds' birthday party and we are serving the kids pizza. Not going to lie. It's kind of tough. Sip sip sip on my propel Water. Sent from my iPhone

I am finding its not that difficult to get my liquids in. My doctor was actually the one to take me off my sippy cup and timer. So i have lined up my liquids for the day and am able to sip sip sip. However I am drinking all. day. long. Sent from my iPhone

That does not sound like a fun way to manage pre-op. I get it though. It's like we are on that border so things do get tricky. I started my journey with s BMI of 42.2 and my surgery I was down to 39. I didn't know enough about the process that it almost stopped me from beginning. I assumed I would be 'punished' for losing weight and going below 40 BMI. Who knew I was so 'skinny' to begin with? So, these weeks leading up to approval and surgery will serve as great lessons to prepare you for your new life. Embrace the challenge and rise above it!!! Good luck. Keep me posted on your progress.
