Ended up with 873 calories. Shrimp...I was able to eat a whole single shrimp and it made me sick. Garlic didn't agree with me. So my protein is a little lower than I had planned.

Good morning all! Had a productive day yesterday. Finally got sized for a new bra. Even though when I got there I was informed they were not doing any measuring due to the virus and we could also not try on anything. Thankfully my mom was with me and they gave us the measuring tape for my mom to measure me. Went to another store to try on some clothes since I don't have any summer clothes that fit me and because next week is our beach vacation that I was worried would be cancelled. Well of course there was no trying clothes on allowed.....I should have known. So I had to guess on sizes and when I got home, thankfully everything fit! It's so hard to believe that before surgery I was wearing a size 26 pants and a 3x top and now I'm in a size 12 pants and a medium top. I still feel guilty for shopping in the regular sizes though. Feels like I still belong in the women's plus sizes. It's weird because I felt ashamed for being there and was worrying what people would think of me being where I don't belong. I have a strange way of thinking.
Accountability was decent yesterday. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. Got into some trail mix last night while watching a movie. Gotta stop that! My brother is coming over today and bringing their new puppy so we are doing brunch and then going for a walk with the dog down some trails near my house. So should be fun.
B: premier shake
B2: coffee w/Splenda X 2

I can buy pants in the regular section. But I think what you feel is normal. It's feels like your betraying your old self in a way...at least it feels that way to me.
That's awesome! Major MAJOR! congratulations to you on the new sizes! That's so awesome! Doing a happy dance for you

Yes exactly! I'm so used to shopping in the plus size section that I naturally gravitate to that area of the store, but then realize I'm not in those sizes anymore which is strange to me since I pretty much was plus size my whole life. Thank you!

I've never felt guilty about shopping In the normies section but I continue to be amazed that clothes "that small" fit or are sometimes too big!! It's still a shock.

Exactly! I held up the pair of pants and said to myself these will never fit because they looked so small. I just knew I'd be bringing them back. I was shocked that they slid right on so perfectly. My brain still cannot process it. Like when I look in the mirror I still see an obese person so I still can't quite grasp how the obese body that I see can fit into a size that shouldn't be possible.
