It has dawned on me that I have lost only about 20ish lbs since I started IF, that may not seem like a lot but it was 20ish more than I would have because my other health conditions and meds were trying to hold me back. I digress. But the physical change is vastly different. I swear it dredged pure fat out of me. so screw the scale, here's the pics

IKR!?!?!

I think it's because it was pure fat and not Water weight, glycogen swelling, etc (things that causes a scale to fluctuate quickly)

Thank you!!!!

I have a very Puritan closet. LOL

I have one risque dress I will post pics of when I create a Surgiversary post (this week) but funny thing is that black and white sweater belongs to my 12yr old. Im stealing her clothes now.

Yes, you have a conservative wardrobe. I did too. My whole life I dressed conservatively. Something happened during this surgery. I'm like..."losin' daylight" on the number of year I can possibly dress like a hoochey mama and not just look pathetic (despite a smokin hot figure). LOL. So now I'm rocking the tight jeans and bootilicious Kardashian look, and tight shirts and tight sweaters and I feel a Giant FU 🖕 in my future! hehe--JIC someone dares to tell me I should dress more respectfully for someone my age. LOL.

You have WAYYY more years to your advantage! Start dressing hot to trot! Especially at synagogue! LOL. :)

Lol, I like the conservative look for everyday! Because underneath there are suprises like garter belts, corsets etc. I have a neo Victorian flair lol

Ridin' the wave! :) Thanks for the video! I need to see about adding some sea salt...

I will tell you that the first day back IF after eating everything and lots of it...is hard. *sigh* But still not as bad as the first day.

Ok. So I have been half-assing this IF thing. Y'all are inspiring me.

I have jumped on the 'bullet journal' bandwagon (I am always late to the party) and set up a November IF tracker in it his morning, so I can track it old school analog, and maybe be more mindful....

I have hella ADD and anxiety, so I think this journal thing is going to be very good for me on several accounts.

Crap! Forget about actually accomplishing any of the tasks listed...maybe I need to make Bullet Journaling my next hobby? I'm pretty sure I can kill a few hours a day this way! :D ;)

I bet they are pretty fun to to read back through and marvel or laugh about them!?

@FluffyChix actually if you just stick to Ryder's minimalist style you won't get sucked into the vortex of turning it into a scrapbook... lol

The brain dump is really great for people like me that have 87,000 thoughts constantly running in your head, and eliminating the 'noise' so I can set priorities. I still use the calendar on my phone.

That so rocks!!! I love that it's "analogue" and that it is a useful tool for organizing thoughts and tasks!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
