Bathing suits are so anxiety inducing! And after years of pretty much just not wearing one I had come to love Lands End suits and then all of a sudden I'm not buying the 1X-4X section anymore and I needed to know my bra size and it's just all too much! LOL.

This is so exciting!!! I'm like you, I can get into the 180s on my own, but staying there isn't possible without extreme measures. I can't WAIT!!!

Sounds like you are doing Awesome!!!!! I'm pretty sure you will be at the 180 mark by May! I struggle going into the Regular (Petite) size clothes. I remember walking around and around because I couldn't find something that I thought I could wear. I actually had a few panic attacks. It was so overwhelming!!!

Post Op RNY 11+ mos
Good chilly morning peeps! What crazy weather we have! Up and moving a little quicker this morning as I have to go for my one year blood draw this morning.
I ended up going for a good long walk at lunch yesterday (4K) and then another hike with the doggies last night, so I got some exercise in on my self declared day of rest! Guilt is a crazy thing eh!
Anyway, nothing for me yet, darn fasting....but once I get to work here's what will happen:
COFFEE!!
B - 4 oz chicken with sautéed veg
S - devilled eggs and 80 gr strawberries
L - tuna salad, cucumber/tomato/feta salad on the side
S - 3 oz leftover roast beef
D - shepperds pie
Totals - Cal 1000, carbs 48, protein 107
Have a great day, and stay warm!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
I returned from a vacation to Savannah, GA Monday and was able to weigh in for the first time in a week on Tuesday morning. I'm down 43lbs since I started my pre-op diet 11 weeks ago and am now 1lb less than the day I got pregnant with my oldest child (who is going to be 11 next month!). With previous diet attempts I would very quickly bounce into the 180's only to start climbing again. I have about 11lbs to my average high school weight and beyond that I've never seen as an adult! Being only 9 weeks post op I am so excited by this!
Also; a couple of NSVs:
- I traveled through four airports, six times and didn't buy a single food or drink. Not even when TSA threw out my yogurt and therefore my planned breakfast.
- I lost weight (5.4lbs!) on vacation, this would have never happened before!
- I bought two pairs of size 12 jeans and a size 12 & 14 bathing suit (to see which fits). Totally an NSV but it's funny how you become so programmed to wear plus size that it's almost a little uncomfortable to move to that other section.
My goal is to be under 180 by May 20th when we leave for our next vacation North Carolina. I only have 7lbs, so I think that's pretty doable! Once I'm under 180 I'm buying myself a pair of tieks!

LOL! The minute I walkedasd into my surgeon's office weighing 83 pounds, I'm pretty sure he'd admit me to the hospital upstairs. Haha. I was truly a lightweight when I started. My high weight was only 183.

I do, yes. It tastes VERY good. My Daughters even love it, and they usually hate any of my weight loss/diet things. I really like the consistency. It's a tiny bit thicker than I like for now, so I don't just drink it too often. I love to use it in recipes. Sometimes I use it in my protein waffle to give it a little sweetness. I don't like sugar free syrup, so I normally eat them plain. I made some protein donuts from the Eggface site with it, they were a huge hit!

I haven't noticed a tell yet. It's very likely that I just eat small portions, I tend to stick with 1/2 cup servings. I can eat around 3 oz of beef, chicken or pork at a time. I'm the same as you with eating all day. I try not to go more than 3-4 hours without something that has protein. Even if I'm not hungry, I still have a drink with protein.
I have, on occasion, eaten too much. If I'm in a restaurant and not paying attention, I get a terrible full sensation in my chest and horrible nausea for what feels like hours. It doesn't happen often, but when it does... yuk.
