Good morning everyone and happy Friday at last! I'm with you JB....this week can go F itself! Hoping today is better for you! Well I put in an order last night for my groceries to be delivered this afternoon. Took me forever to locate the option to change it to no substitutions if my items were not found. Ended up having to go into each individual item I ordered and go into instructions which gave me the option to change it. So fingers crossed I get what I actually ordered this time!
I had my virtual bariatric follow up appointment last week and I can't help but keep thinking about what they told me. Again they said I'm in my maintenance weight range now and that I should be consuming anywhere from 1000-1200 calories a day to maintain my current weight. I am 163 now which still has me in the overweight BMI category for my height of 5'4". I told them I'd still like to get down to 145 or below to be in the healthy range. I was told that that's just not realistic. And that I have lost far more than was expected of me. Well if that's the case then why couldn't I lose more to reach my goal? When I was at 190 they told me I was in my maintenance range then as well! I'm grateful for how much I've lost so far, but I still want to lose more and have been desperately trying to keep my calories more around 800 a day. But it's getting so hard the further out from surgery I get and I'm starting to wonder if they are right....maybe I'll never get there. I try not to think that way, but it's hard.
Anyway, enough of the negative news. My accountability was really good yesterday and I'm finally just a couple pounds shy of where I was pre vacation. So glad these extra pounds are finally coming off. Hopefully I can continue to stick to plan over the weekend which is normally when my eating goes awry.
QOTD: my bedroom is a neutral beige color. Actually my whole house is the same neutral beige. It's the same original color that it was when I bought this place over six years ago. I'd love to change it eventually though as I've always had colorful bedrooms....especially growing up as a child and into my teenage years. I had a lavender bedroom, a plum colored bedroom and then a mint green bedroom. I loved them all and miss color so much!

I had my own goal which was lower than my surgeons and was right in the middle of normal BMI. I just kept doing what I had been doing to drop lower than their goal to mine with most of my support coming from here on OH. I am 5'3", and my surgeons goal was the top of normal BMI or about 140. My goal was 125. For my first couple of years in maintenance I ended up hovering between 115-118, but since I lost a 20 pound regain from last year I am now hovering between 120-123 as I felt the lower range was too low. My surgeon is thrilled with my weight btw.

It is complete and utter nonsense for a doctor's office to tell you not to get yourself into a healthy BMI. WTH? And yeah--it really does get harder the further out you get, so why wouldn't you try your best to do it now? Now you need to do it just to spite them and show them what stupid advice that is!
