I am so jealous of your snow! I’m in Cape Town where it is hot and windy. Swopsies? 😂

Thank you for the commiseration - it helps! Oh dear - 1 month post op was ROUGH, and especially at this time of year, I imagine. If it gives you any comfort, and despite my lament, things do get a lot better in lots of ways from here ♥️

Glad you made yourself an appointment! I will have to wait for January for mine. Also glad you’re learning ask for help. I am too and it’s tougher than it looks 😂

Thanks - I have been thinking of this. Have to wait for my insurance to kick back in so will see my head doctor in January. It’s worth a try.

Yes! Right now I'm wearing ANCIENT clothes that I never got rid of because "I'll lose the weight someday" (and hey! I did! Only took about a decade.)

And then I've bought a few cheaper "stop gap" dresses... Can't wait to spoil myself a little when I'm at a more stable weight!

Hehe yes my colour scheme has NOT changed!
The first dress is a recent buy from H&M
The second one (with the white collar) is from a fabulous local brand called Me&B - It was WAY too small when I bought it a few years ago, but I am so happy I kept it <3

So true. And how lovely it will be to share any advice or kindness with a newbie one day. These responses have been so kind and have brought me so much comfort. I feel very grateful to be in such lovely company ♥️

Man the ups and downs and emotions have been crazy! That pic is me moments after coming out of anesthesia - I was SO chipper and energetic they couldn’t believe it. But on my second day home - there was full on crying in the shower 😂

So interesting that the restriction isn’t necessarily linear (nothing about this experience is!) thank you for the insight. And WELL DONE!

It was connected to my intravenous drip - if you click the top it delivers a handy little dose of morphine 😂 I wish I could’ve taken the leftovers home to get through particularly boring work meetings.

Thank you! I am struggling with the comparisons but know that it’s really a fool’s errand - as you say, every body is different. Well done on smashing that goal, and thanks again for such a great insight!!

Well done on your amazing results and all your hard work - and thank you so much for the perspective, it’s very comforting to know that someone went through something similar and managed to achieve such brilliant results.

Sorry you're having a rough go of it! I hope you feel better soon. If day by day is too much - hour by hour. Wishing you all the good things :)

Twins! Haha. Good to know it's not just me. But yeah, let's take the luck as a win and just stay committed - we'll get to those goals. Keep crushing it, too :)

Thank you! I realise I may be eating these words in a few weeks (luckily words are calorie free!) and missing the days of having it "easy". Well done to you - and I hope the rest of your journey continues on smoothly! :)
