Six months

Whelp six months post op tomorrow!

I still do not have "hunger" but I find myself more snacky over the last few weeks. It is annoying. I still stay within my plan limits 98% of the time, sometimes going over my calories (within 100) but usually with still healthier snacks and foods.
I have been eating out more because life is so crazy and hectic right now, which I need to chill there too.

We are going to Florida/Disney the first week of October so I will be forced to eat out then, which is just another reason to stop now.

Overall I really don't have any complaints. No issues, and still kicking butt.

I see my surgeon for my 6 month check up next week and I am still ahead of the predicted weight loss chart he gave me.

I am JUST NOW starting to really see my weight loss in full body pictures. Even more so since I have been wearing clothes that fit rather than huge and falling off.
Tons of friends have been commenting and sending me inspiring messages or when they see me say something. It is kind of nice that people are noticing the work I am putting in. Regardless of that, when I saw pictures of myself from the weekend I was like WHOA who is this person?!?!

Flipside, I look like a half deflated water balloon naked. :p HAHA!

KEEP GOING PEOPLE- WE GOT THIS!

6 months and hit 100 lbs loss today since surgery and 137 total!
 
SO PROUD of YOU!! You are an inspiration! If you have access to a car/grocery store while in Florida, consider stocking up on water/zero calorie drinks, fruits, cut up veggies, healthy snack options and pack in a backpack for your outings. Pack some disposable silverware in your suitcase to use for healthy choices if you need to cut, chop, spoon. If your hotel doesn't have a fridge in every room, request one in advance. They usually have them available for medical reasons when people need to keep things chilled.

Thank you!
I am driving, so yes packing all of these things. Including shakes and protein bars. We are going with friends and out God Daughter so I know we will be eating out daily. I am pretty good at keeping it healthy and maintaining but nothing is healthier than home. haha
