16 mos post op

Just left my monthly WLS meeting. Even though I have been going for 2 years, it is still valuable. It brings me back to why I have done this, and refocuses my goals. It is inspirational, reminds me how far I have come, and where I am still heading. I was 160.8 lbs this morning, so a loss of 90.8 lbs. I have been maintaining +-2 lbs for the past 3 months and that has been really exciting for me. Yes, it would be great if I were losing, but I don't really have it in me right now while I'm managing other life things. So the very best thing I can do - and truly, my life long goal with this procedure - is to maintain and keep the weight off. When I am up to it, I will resume, and am proud of how far I've come. I would like to lose 20 more lbs, and put me at about 140 lbs, and see how that looks on my frame. My mini goals after today's meeting are to track/add more water into my days, and to incorporate more activity. I think both will help me feeling better, and help get me out of my funk. If I lose some lbs in the meantime. All for the better.

Life Truths After Weight Loss Surgery (in no particular order)

⁃ Somedays you are starving and can eat everything in sight. Other days you’ll barf up 4oz of chicken ⁃ You’ll get loose skin in places you didn’t think you could get loose skin ⁃ Even when you aren’t losing weight, your body is still changing so take lots of photos ⁃ It is weird how a month in a plateau can still make your clothes looser, so use those as a guide too ⁃ You will plateau..sometimes for months ⁃ You’ll lose motivation ⁃ Vitamins are VERY important ⁃ You’ll get drunk really fast, but sober up quickly ⁃ It is easy to develop a transfer addiction. For me it was pain meds after knee and dental surgery. Tell your docs up front. ⁃ You’ll have a lot of body dysmorphia. Some days you’ll feel so hot and other days you’ll cry at a photo of your fat calves ⁃ It is shocking when you realize there are people in your life who will have never known the fat you ⁃ Some people still won’t like you ⁃ Someone will always have a better body ⁃ People will think that the post-op diet is the forever diet and shame you for eating more than 2tbsp of yogurt in their presence ⁃ People will ask you how much you weigh now ⁃ You’ll hear a million stories about someone’s cousin’s sister’s neighbor who “gained it all back” ⁃ You’ll be asked a million times if you are “afraid of gaining it all back” ⁃ You are allowed to eat. No food is inherently bad ⁃ You’ll do things without thinking, like sitting on a yoga ball not afraid of popping it and when you realize it didn’t pop, you’ll cry and the people that never knew you at 405lbs won’t get it ⁃ Even though the medium will fit, you still try on the XL ⁃ You still get ads from Lane Bryant and feel guilt about trashing them when at one time that was the only option you had ⁃ You’ll be angry the first time a man who previously let a door slam in your face goes out of his way to open it ⁃ You don’t understand why people want you to proselytize your success to their overweight friends/relatives. You don’t know them or their story

Can I count coffee towards my fluid intake? lmao

[mandasmuffintop]

I do lmao

[barbells-and-whiskey-deactivate]

I just had the sleeve done on Tuesday and the nutritionist said it does go towards your fluid intake! 🤗 I asked her 21 questions lol

[irr1tated-deactivated20250402]

🤔🤔🤔

…

*shamelessly logs 21 ounces of coffee*

[fatcinderellasball]

The nutritionist I spoke to relayed that caffeine is dehydrating, so it cannot count towards water intake. Instead, additional water should be consumed to make up for the coffee. Professionals have many different stances on the same questions, lol.

So close to hitting the 150s, but I'm going to ignore that so I don't psych myself out. I'm so good at that.

[fatcinderellasball]

162.4 lbs. A new low for me, and just before Christmas. It's so nice to be able to afford all of my protein favorites again. Makes a big difference in my game.

Almost 90 lbs down! 12 months later

[fatcinderellasball]

165.8 lbs at my 12 month check up today!

I've lost 15 BMI points, and my body is feeling great.

It fits

I fit back in to my very favorite jackets. I love a good hoodie, and bought these years ago when I was at a healthy weight. I wore them this weekend, and they make me so confident and happy. Like wearing a trophy for myself. Being able to dress how I choose is a huge boulder out of my way. Health brings freedom.
