New swimsuit!
Today marks 90 lbs lost and a new found confidence. I went shopping for a new swimsuit today because I have my first pool party of the year this afternoon. I have been wearing the same maternity swim suit for the last several years. I haven't been pregnant for 2 1/2.... When I first started looking the nerves were…

Not quite 6 months
Hubby and I went out for our anniversary tonight. I bought this dress for the occasion... size 10! Smallest dress size I have EVER been! 5 1/2 months out, 88 lbs down

NSV!
I took my children to Six Flags today, and I was able to fit into the KIDDIE rides! In the past I've always had to send one of my big kids to ride with the babies, but not anymore. No more sideline momma here!

New before and during- 80lbs

Living guilt free
I've seen a lot of posts lately about people feeling like failures because they had a bad day/week/month. I've noticed this seems to be a common trend with WLS patients. Everything about our lives post surgery is "programmed". Not losing weight? Check your program! Feeling rundown? Check your program! Left foot fell off?…

AMAZING pita pizza
Ya'll. Seriously. I just made a chicken pita pizza and I may never order pizza again. It was SO good, and HEALTHY! Bonus! Thought I'd share in case anyone was interested. Rosemary and Olive Oil flatbread pizza crust (12 inches long) 1/4 cup Sun dried tomato pesto sauce Chopped spinach (.5 ounce was more than enough for 1…

I'm overweight! !
Seems like such an odd thing to celebrate, but this morning I finally fell into the overweight BMI range! I have been some level of obese for so long that I truly believed this would never happen again. I'm so excited!

Should I up my calories?
I am 4 months post op and still doing 600 cals a day. Lately, as in the last 2 weeks, I have been insatiable! I have been drinking coffee every morning which I know can create a false sense of hunger, so as much as it pained me to do, I cut out the caffeine. No change, still feel like I want to eat ALL THE FOODS! I'm…

Fitbit
Does anyone know how to get my steps from my Fitbit Charge to post on MFP? I have the app linked and my MFP data shows up on the Fitbit app, but not vice versa.

NSV with pic!
So I went clothes shopping this morning for the first time since losing 60 lbs. I had no idea what size to look for because I still see myself as an XXL. The lady at the store was so helpful, and I walked out with a new shirt and skirt, size LARGE. First time shopping in the regular women's section since high school!

NSV and HUGE goal
I can officially run a full mile, and each time I go out, I love it more and more! Considering 3 months ago I would get winded just walking to the end of my street, I am ecstatic! I have a 5k to run in April, which I believe will be a piece of cake, but I have a bigger goal in mind: a half marathon. I have been running…

Before and During- 52 lbs gone! (fixed!)

NSV!
I was wearing jeans at work today (jeans I haven't worn in about 5 years!) and I noticed my shoe was untied. I stared at it for a long time, dreading having to bend down to tie it. Jeans and bending down have not been a good combo for me. It typically involves holding my breath and praying I can finish before I pass out! I…

Hungry!
I am 3 weeks out and hunger has hit me full force today! I have had the urge to graze and I can typically distract myself, drink more water, etc. This is different. I have progressed to pureed/soft foods (which there are no words to describe how happy I am right now lol), so I've moved from drinking liquids all day long to…

Struggling to get in calories
I am 8 days post op, in the full liquid portion of the diet, and I am really struggling to get calories in. I am meeting my protein goals, but I feel incredibly weak if I do anything even a little strenuous, walking even. I am just curious about how many calories people were able to get in 1-2 weeks out. I know my eventual…

4 days post op and wondering what I have done....
I'm struggling. Experiencing severe buyer's remorse over here! I am to continue on a full liquid diet for the next 2 1/2 weeks and it honestly seems impossible. I didn't even struggle this much with the pre-op diet, perhaps because I felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I guess I wasn't expecting to feel…

2 days Post Op
Hey everyone! I had my sleeve done on Sept. 22 and I need support! I feel fine physically, no need for pain meds, I'm walking a lot and slowly increasing my fluid intake. I had some serious issues with nausea at first so the hospital had to keep me an extra day, and I didn't think anything would help. I'm finally past…

I fit my jeans....!
.....as in, ALL my jeans!! On a whim I decided to try on some of my old jeans hiding in the back of the closet this morning, and they fit! Every single pair I own slid right up! There's a couple pairs that zip, but I wouldn't subject the public to that visual torture, and one pair so big I just need to toss them.…

First NSV!
Walking through Home Depot this afternoon, carrying an armful of materials, when my shorts nearly FELL OFF!! Dropped the goods and caught the pants just in time to keep the entire store from seeing MY goods. Guess its time to buy a belt!! :)
