I have stalled for the last month and am actually okay with it. My doctor laughed at me when I explained that I was tired of clothes shopping.

I started this journey at 348. I dropped about 25 pre-surgery. I'm down to right at 200 now. I enjoy being a 14/16....buying an occasional Large. I've size out of Lane Bryant/Catherine's and it feels beyond weird.

My husband had his surgery this last May. He's already lost close to 120. I love him and hate him at the same time. LOL

I was sleeved on 8/11 and I am eating regular foods just feeling my way through see what I can and can't tolerate sticking to meat and veggies for the most part... Although I went out of town for 2 days and went to some restaurants for the first time since surgery and really couldn't eat much but I did go off course a bit with my choice of food not to mention a few cocktails but I was drinking plenty of Water and did plenty of walking after each meal. Still tryna figure things out

Surgery Aug 27, 2015

SW-348

CW-201.8

Just had my husband released from the hospital after 4 days, he fell from a chair he had fallen asleep on (has terrible sleep apnea that has caused narcolepsy) and broke his front tooth and some ribs... the worst part??? His blood sugar was 340. New diagnoses of diabetes!!! He has been my reason for fighting for this again!!! I stalled at about 8 months post op for 3 months!!! Honestly stopped trying after that, but this incident quickly reminded me why I had surgery in the first place!!!

Happy post Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone made it through the holiday while keeping macros on point! I made sure I had turkey, ham, and greens. I even had a small slice of my grandmother's sweet potato pie but no guilt here because I've been working out consistently 4 days a week and taking a Body Pump Strenth training class 2x a week. I love my results. My body is changing so drastically (stomach getting flatter, booty getting bigger lol). For the longest my scale wasn't moving. I started fasted cardio in the AM and the Body Pump Classes twice a week and I'm a whole new woman! Strength training is where it's at. I'm not at goal yet and I have a plan to get there by April 2017 but what I realized most is slow and steady for toning and building muscle. It takes time and commitment but doesn't everything in life?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
