Surgery day!

[Rose1up! 262]

@Rose1up! sounds like you are doing great. it's a process. you learn what works and what doesn't. the sodium will definitely affect you so definitely try lowering that.

i got stuck for a few weeks but i'm a good range for me where i feel good about myself most all the time so im not that freaked out when i stall. but i've been stalled for about 2 weeks until today. some of that has been my fault, not eating enough and not getting my Water intake. i finally moved the scale this week but like i said i reached goal one so i'm not too freaked out about it going slow. that's ok. will help with loose skin if that should happen.

be patient. keep doing what you're doing!

@@pr_pitbullgrl - thanks for your encouragement and words. I actually sent Michelle an email about my stall and she said its normal. She said what I needed to hear also. Ive bee. Getting headaches. I think its from my lack of H20 the last 2 days. Im downloading a Water alert to help me. Also, I tried a bunch of old tops I have and fit them all. Its nice to see my progression. My body is just trying to catch up from what Ive lost. I also decided to stop weighing everyday. Lol. Hows it going with you??? Missed ya!

Hi Everyone,

Time to post my before and after pics.... making me accountable to the "Surgery Day" group! Haa haaa... I had the gastric sleeve surgery completed on January 6, 2016. I am currently down 25 pounds and boy can I tell you that I can feel a difference in my energy level. I can also fit other tops that I haven't fit for months and months. I am enjoying this new journey and looking forward to more weight loss as each day goes by.

Weird things you notice. So down 52lbs. Bout 20 more to go I think. And some things I've noticed...

I can cross my legs like a normal person

I can wear heels all day

I finally weigh less than my dad and my boyfriend

In this photo my ass/hips don't take up the whole chair. I didn't have to suck in. I look like an almost normal sized person. Almost not fat at all!

I'm excited to keep losing. See what it's like to feel small. Regular. Normal.

Hi everyone. Im back to work. Im having a hard time eating today. My stomach feels full and Im not really hungry. Any ideas for me to get past this?

This chat has been the greatest! Super encouraging to me and really helped me see what life will be like after the sleeve.

this video is SUPER handy.

Also I got some great tips - gonna get 4oz tupperwares for my meals and do layering of flavors like she did. I think my first "real food" day will be something like this:

Breakfast - egg white scramble with salsa and sour cream and little cheese - MAYBE a few potatoes or 1/2 whole wheat toast.

snack - shrimp with cocktail suace

lunch - corn tortilla, shredded chicken, cheese, Beans, salsa, sour cream MAYBE avocado

snack - cold cut roll up - turkey, 1/2 cheese stick, miracle whip and mustard

dinner - shrimp, cauliflower rice, peppers, low sodium soy sauce, butter

all these consist of four ounces. If i need more Protein i'll drink a shake.

That is such a great idea. I definitely need to purchase those containers.
