    It's been 2+ weeks, but I'm down to 196. Given my caloric intake, there should be more loss than that. Who the heck knows, lol

    Sometimes your body just needs a period of adjustment? But it is frustrating!

    I really hate that the less I weigh, the less I can eat to maintain the loss. And my ravenous brain needs time to accept reality.

    Well with my bariatric plan, I am set for 745 calories daily and I stick to it, with 90+ g of protein.

    So I made the mistake of weighing in the minute I got home. Seven whopping pounds up in ten days. I’m assuming there’s a lot of processing in transit not to count my swollen feet and ankles! There will be mindful eating, lots of water to flush out salts and maybe a nap or two. Right now it’s mountains of laundry to do. 😩

    Down two pounds this morning. Hoping for more tomorrow as the water weight gets peed out. Anyway I hope it’s only water! 💦

    And of course, much more careful eating now that I’m home.

    Numbers going down. I think the real damage from the cruise is about three pounds. It’s doable but annoying!

    Yup - lost all but 3 pounds of cruise gluttony. So now it’s time to get serious 🧐

    After 2 weeks of bouncing between 192 and 196 (192.2 was my most recent low on September 9th), I finally got some loss.

    190.6 yesterday, 186.8 yesterday. BMI 27.6

    I am. It was so frustrating to watch my weight bounce around but not drop when by all the laws of physics and thermodynamics, it should be dropping. Ah well. I haven't been this small since high school.

    Pre-cruise numbers this morning. Still higher than last year but maybe I can work it out before the holiday feasting begins? 🫣

    Blah!
    I'll have to figure out numbers sometime soon! :neutral:

    Especially because since August 30 Fitbit TDEE has stopped syncing correctly with crono. Looking through the numbers today, I think that I've determined that the discrepancy is a constant 578/579 Cal a day, in which case I should be able to adjust!

    I had dipped back down to my "target" range of 155lbs by mid august but by mid September I was hitting the 158's.

    Of course, I would never be silly enough to step on a scale the morning after a plane ride. But had I, perchance and accidently, stepped on one I am fairly sure it would have said 161lbs :astonished:

    So the chocolates and nuts I came back with will probably have to be managed a bit more aggressively than I would like!!!!! :anguished:

    181.6 this morning.

    This new weight tips me past the "I have lost half my bodyweight" point.

    Starting weight: 364.4 (8/29/23)
    Goal weight range: 150-155

    I have my 1yr surgery follow-up on 11/15. I hope to be 170ish by then. 169 is where I reach "normal" BMI.
