18 Weeks Post-Op Gastric Bypass

A small loss of 1.8 pounds last week for a total weight loss of 81.5 pounds. I am proud of those 1.8 pounds though because I did the work this week, and added in regular, intentional, exercise. Even though the scale gave me a small number... it was no fault of my own!

81.5 pounds lost is amazing! I, too, can go all day without drinking. I got the recommendation for the camelbak water bottle from you! and now I keep a small bound journal with me and check off each 16 oz bottle I drink. I force myself to drink one before I even eat breakfast and then one before lunch. I drink one more leisurely thru the rest of the day and then count other fluids from shakes and jello, etc. Since I started doing this I get all my fluids in!

Congrats on the 80lbs gone! You look fabulous. I think about what the future will be like as the lbs drop and people's response to that weight loss will be. I am hoping that those who are friends now will embrace me as I strive for my goals. I also wonder if my personality will change...I think if I was alot younger it might... at almost 46 I am happy with who I am other than wanting to be healthier so I don't know if it will. Great vid!

Congrats on the 80 lbs! Great update, and I totally understand about worrying about your personality changes, cause I too was always the "fat funny girl", especially at work. So I've noticed that I've become a little more serious, I haven't felt the need to make them all laugh. It's strange :) Actually my hubby and I were talking about how I seem more mature since my surgery. I don't freak out as easily, I'm just calmer and I think it is because I'm not high on sugar anymore. Take care!

81 pounds is awesome. I need to have that same positive attitude when my loss is 1-2 lbs a week. I gained my weight after high school too... what a bummer, eh!

While those people aren't wishing you ill, they are rather uncomfortable with the new you. Give them time. or... maybe they aren't going to be along for the journey. That is, of course, YOUR decision, not theirs.

You need to take care of YOU. (yes, this sounds like counseling, as that's where I heard it from). I learned to say, "Yes." when someone called me selfish. We women are especially bad at taking care of ourselves first. You need to keep it up! (Oprah would agree!)
