I didn't read it that way FluffyChix. I think it's showing a variety of people's experiences and thought processing towards meals, expectations and personality styles and how that is brought into post wls lifestyle. Tbh, I've desperately tried to do MFP and recognized very quickly that it can't be what I do past a year post surgery as it doesn't come innately to me....I recognize that I can learn to do it but I won't love it as a longterm plan. That said, your posts has given me immense insights into how it can be done [emoji106][emoji106] So please keep posting, we newbies are learning from it and that knowledge helps us develop our own way of being the new us. Thanks![emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for this because I identify very closely to that philosophy so I am very grateful that there's hope for me yet! I am also grateful for the variety of thought processes being shared here (I know that was the intended purpose but still grateful nonetheless) as it truly gives more depth into learning new ways to do things and testing what works!

Day 12: Dance party: Does it count that I had a solo dance party in my car after seeing my kids off for First day of school?? I was [emoji126][emoji126][emoji126][emoji126][emoji126] all the way to work and it was a long commute and other drivers gave me a wide berth[emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]. I love them to death but I was desperately ready to establish some good routines/structure before my surgery in 4 days!!......4 days!!!!!![emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji54]🤯🤯[emoji126][emoji126][emoji126]....yeah all of those emotions!! Best Compliment: hmmm, professionally: "You are the best doctor I've ever had the opportunity to meet". Didn't do anything special, just listened 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Personally: My kids do tell me they are happy I am their mommy...inspite of my happy dance this morning [emoji5][emoji5] Exercise: Rest day...I rested for 3 straight days so I was back in spin class this morning!

I literally just got the hospital preop nurse that calls you to go over preop questions and give you information about what to expect on day of surgery say to me VERBATIM "then why are you having the surgery"!!!!!!!!! because my answers were "no" to a lot of her questions except being prediabetic [emoji15][emoji15][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]. It fell off her mouth before she could control it!! I was so taken aback and laughed at the hilarity of the Stupid question!!! I'm generally not in the business of caring at ALL about what others think about my decision but it's crazyyyyyy how other people think they should have opinions about WLS! I'd say to you Annie, don't worry about what others think, just look forward to how wonderful the next phase of your life would be, whether physically, emotionally, health wise, psychologically etc!!! Good luck with your surgery! I'm right behind you on Friday [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello Lovelies, got back from cruise yesterday. Day 8,9 and 10. Couldn't cook a meal on the ship, I drank water because I had to from trekking in the heat in Bahamas with rambunctious kids!! I did smile a lot on the cruise, first because it's my happy place but also because I am a "smiler" so easy challenge. As for the exercises: It's safe to say I NEVER made it to the fitness center......I did walk past it on the way to the spa. But I didn't do any exercises. I returned home and gained 3lbs which I sincerely know was better than my expectation. Day 11: I listened to my all time favorite playlist at the gym today while daydreaming about my journey to goal weight! Yoga class is in 10mins and I plan to attend. Thanks for the accountability all, it helps... Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
