Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Wednesday 11/29/17

Good morning all! Ugh, this cold... Today is my 10 month surgiversary (40 weeks). I am down 6.6 pounds this month, 5.2 of which is under my goal weight. Getting used to maintenance calories is interesting. I'm averaging 1365, which I need to raise a little bit more.

QOTD: Is ages 15 to 45 too broad? I allowed my weight hold me back so much from life that I missed out on a lot I thought I wasn't worthy of - dating, marriage, kids, travel... It would be nice to relive those years and see what might have been if I hadn't turned myself into a hermit.

10 months post op, in maintenance, 164.8 lbs

B - coffee and yogurt

L - chicken soup

D - chicken soup

S - protein shake as food doesn't sound all that enticing today

Happy Surgiversary Cecily, 6.6 pounds in the 40th week is amazing...and below goal!!!! You always inspire me!

Aw, thank you, Kristi!!

I hope you feel better soon!

Yay on the 10 month surgiversary. It never occurred to me that I might someday want to stop losing. That is something to think about.

It's a bizarre feeling for sure! This morning when I got on the scale it was down 1.2 pounds and I thought "whoops" rather than "yay!" So weird...

Good afternoon,

I slept in today but I didn't go to bed until 2 am.

Qotd I would try out for sports in high school and majorette for the high school band. Also would love to go horseback riding again.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D chicken, bits of green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing and seven layer salad

Have a good day

Good morning! Woke up to clear blue skies today, it's cold, but it's sunny!! Sorry you were up so darn early Erin, I can't go back to sleep after an adrenaline rush either.

QOTD-Like Cecily, I would like to go back and see what life would have been like if I never hid from it. My career, marriage, children...the big milestones that other people experience. On a less deeper level, I would have liked to try out for school plays and submit my artwork in local contests.

B-PP shake(bananas and cream)

L-scrambled eggs with ham and cheese

S-Chai tea with cream and stevia

D-Hamburger stir fry with cabbage, mushrooms and riced cauliflower

E-Hike with dog.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

I can't believe I've been up since 8am and I haven't done this yet. Busy morning of dealing with logistical stuff I've been putting off.

I slept in a real bed again last night! And between 6am and 8am I even slept on my side a little bit!! Totally awesome. And I think, once I post this, I'm going to WALK OUTSIDE to the mailbox.

QOTD: When I was in middle school my family went to Mesa Verde for vacation and I refused to go on one of the tours because you had to climb through a tunnel that was described as tight and I was worried I was too fat and would get stuck. (I wasn't, I wouldn't have, but.. yeah.) So I didn't do it and sat in the car while my family did. They thought I was just being an angsty teenager since I never told them the truth of why I didn't do it :/

1: protein shake
2: leftover sushi and tuna tataki
3: fajita nachos with beef (I think the order comes with 12? I eat 3-4 each serving.)

liquid and vites: yup!
exercise: nope!

Yea to side sleeping! You don't know how wonderful it is until you can't, great job Gwen!

Thanks, Kristi! Just like sleeping in a bed. I don't think we ever really feel like ourselves again until we can sleep like normal!
