My weekend in pictures Sunday’s are all about football and food prep

How do I eat now? Protein!!!

Wegmans version of Powerade zero

My on-plan recipe? Take time for me ...ok, I realize it’s not a food recipe, but as a wife, teacher, mom of two, friend, volunteer, etc. I have to remember to make ”me time” a priority!

He would tell people??? Sounds like the problem is your husband, not the surgery

Day nine How do I stay on plan? Plan, plan, plan. I don’t leave anything up to chance. Carry water with me everywhere I go, keep Greek yogurts in the work fridge, if I’m invited to a party, I bring a dish (one that I can eat, so if there’s nothing else there, I know I have a safe option). Fail to plan...plan to fail

Current fitness plan-zero But I’m trying to change that. Write in my planner “working out” on Wednesday and Sunday. Just really having trouble finding motivation these days

Um, pretty sure it was just an oversight. I can’t really see what BP would have to gain from fat shaming a bunch of fat people. Guess what? Secret’s out. We already know we’re fat

Day 7 I want to be the “after” photo

Food saver!!!!

Send me a message if you want. We have the same surgery date and I’d love to support you, if you need help

Week one update; down 5 lbs Doing so much better with my water intake. Averaging about 75 oz/day. Stayed away from gluten and my tummy was much happier

Or the insane amount of food in fridge? 😳

Lol, I’ve seen his same design a lot. Typical houses built in the 90s I guess

Days 4 and 5, and 5 lbs down already. It’s amazing what happens when you stop eating “holiday” foods

All I really had was a water goal and a protein goal. Everything else was up to me. If I didn’t eat something I just asked for alternatives. I def think you are overthinking it.

Eating and drinking over the past month has gotten progressively harder. I saw my team today who predict I either have a stricture or a hernia. I have an upper GI scheduled for the day after Christmas. I have had a super easy recovery and this has really put me in a rotten mood. Everything I eat or drink ends up being vomited up or dry heaved. My throat is raw from repeatedly throwing up and I’m nauseous all the time. I’m a miserable mess right now. I could use some encouragement, esp from someone who has gone through this. Thanks

Starting stats-bypass completed on July 10, 2018 January 1st-197lbs Down 91 lbs, still losing 😊 Weight goal for the month-10 pounds

Goodwill

Happy New Year Final weigh in 197 Weight lost during challenge: 13 lbs 😊

No clue...never thought to ask

I’m keeping a strict food journal and tracking my “episodes” He wants to see what my trigger foods might be. Could be gluten, dairy, etc. I’m not finding any trends yet, but it’s been a rough week and my eating has been all over the place.

Husband and my mom are the only ones who know

The Gi didn’t show a stricture so no endoscopy was scheduled

I have zero regrets. Even the tough times have been bliss compared to trying to live my life at almost 300 lbs. (that’s no way to live)
