He said there is a possibility of regaining the “hunger” after 6 months so that was his reasoning for wanting it all gone by then. Apparently he is the only doctor that is so strict cause everyone I know said a year as well… -

I hit one for a while but am 45 lbs away from my goal and according to my dr I only have a few more weeks to reach it. He wanted me there by the 6th month and I don’t see it happening… I am so disappointed! -

Guys this is your que to exit it’s about to be weird. Ladies stick around for the fun!!! So today I decided after work I needed to decompress. Which means self care night! This usually entails a long hot shower shaving exfoliating you know the works. All the things that make us feel normal again. I have lived in this house since 2019 and have NEVER attempted a “bath”. Let’s face it my bathtub looks like it is just big enough to fit a baby hamster in. But tonight I felt like I would give it a shot… I FIT COMFORTABLY!!!! Then to top it off it came time to shave and my cat is visible. I can see her and all her glory with minimal movement!!! I have not shaved with out fear of snagging that beautiful little sailor In so long!!! Let me tell you it was wonderful!!!! -

Y’all I had my last family get together last night and I drank 4 glasses of wine instead of eating… for someone that hasn’t drank in a hot min I don’t feel like I reacted badly. I have a slight headache this morning but wasn’t plastered last night. That side of the family is definitely the dysfunctional side and you need something to get through the night! -

Well I didn’t do terrible for thanksgiving. I stopped when I felt full and didn’t feel like I over ate. That being said I came in last night and ate a piece of ham. Of course I was ok with the ham but promptly went into a sneezing fit. I sneezed so hard it caused me to puke said ham up… what the crap is that?? -

I no longer have a favorite food🥲 I have not been able to eat anything twice in a row without it making me sick. I have very much been the “what settles once won’t settle again” person… -

Y’all I hit oneder land today! And my nsv for now is my ass is no longer so big a pup can sit on my hip between me and the car door while I drive and not fall through the hole. Side not pupper is ok and was only stuck in that hole for a second before I stopped and retrieved him and rearranged the seating for him lol! -

I didn’t even bother asking. I did tell my dietitian I did it after the fact and she said if I was weak and run down then it was a good thing especially if it helped. I even went to a dr appointment with a friend and happen to just throw out the question and the dr said just do it. Our drs want us to rely on fluids protein and vitamins. I am not sure they really want us to seek other options. Not saying they are that way out of malice or anything but I don’t think it would be a healthy option to do it often. -

My dogs are officially my clean up crew and they are loving it. They get all my healthy food that I can’t finish. Tonight my little baby ate all my broccoli and my big baby at all the chicken! My big boy is a husky and absolutely refuses veggies, but my little girl is a jack russel and schnauzer mix and loves all plants😂 funny how different they can be! -

Girl I am 5’4 and started at 238. I feel that is an extremely high weight for my height. But apparently it might not be. How tall and where did you start and where are you now? I am at 208 currently.
