Surgery update and more about me...
You'll do fine! I think its when you really pay attention to the number and what you're doing, is when you are fully cognizant of what is happening with you.
The funny part is - is I really don't feel like I've deprived myself, in any area. I haven't missed the food and have been eating only when hungry, not according to the clock. I still have my adult beverages. I cut out the chips, nuts and crap food. That's the big difference!
As far as plastic surgery - I hear ya. I paid $200 to go to a consult.. only to realize I'm probably not going to go to him. But, you don't know until you try.

Thanks, Jody! I was wondering how you were doing, and now I have a better picture!
I'm glad you're not in a "settling" position with the men in your life. This is better. I hope all the changes don't cause you too much pain, though. That's the rub.
I'm also glad that you're being really careful and not pushing yourself too much in your recovery. Just think of this time as a - retreat. A time to rest and heal and reflect. Sip some tea and it'll be like you're at a spa! :)
As for the numbers, I'm super-curious about how all that turns out for you. I wonder if the shar-pei ness is just temporary, or if it will fill in a bit a little later? (in a non-lumpy way...) If I've learned anything from you, it's that these things don't stick around, and everything's up for grabs, right?
Anyway, congrats on all of your successes, and I'm really happy for you!

Ok - not to toot my own horn here, but I really don't think this guy realizes just how good he had it with me. Basically, I was pretty much the best thing that happened to him in a long time... but I guess he didn't see it that way ! LOL... I did see a future and he talked in the future, but I've found out that he rarely keeps anyone around for a month at the most.. I've figured out he has serious committment problems. We had fun while it lasted. I do wonder about it though.. why he just pulled back. Of course I wonder if its my "baggage" from my WLS - extra skin, scars from the TT, different eating patterns, etc. Heck - he drank protein drinks! And he drank the good stuff.... So, I really don't think so... Now this new guy - eats terrible and has kids that feed on french fries, etc.. and they're not little kids. I don't think he wants to hear what I have to say about it...
No - the shar-peiness isn't temporary. Its interesting to see how the skin is draping once again since I've lost the weight again. I don't hate it nearly as much this time!! You never know how it will distribute - or re-distribute. Time only will tell...

Aha, Jody - shall I don my counseling hat? ;) No, of course not. As your LW friend, it's my job to remind you that these things are sooooo much a reflection of where he is, not on you. Sometimes when people are presented with what's right, it makes them confront things about themselves that have kept them from doing what's right in the past. That's really hard work, and sometimes folks aren't ready for that. Sounds like this guy was there. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. I can guarantee you that! Unless, of course, it's that he KNEW you were perfect for him and didn't feel he deserved it/was afraid he'd screw it up so just got himself out early/got scared about the implications of being in something that feels right/is a totally f'ed up *ss hole/felt guilty, etc. The list of possibilities is endless! But not your fault.
Got it???
Got it???

You should be so proud of yourself Jody. Kicking those carbs was really tough for you and you stuck with it. I think it's really hard when we get into a routine, to change it. So kudos to you!
I'm glad you're taking the time to let yourself heal. That's very smart of you. And no, I didn't know that about olive oil :)
You know, that guy wasn't right for you and it's good that he's gone so that better options can walk your way.
Have fun with all of your celebrations!
