Six days on Optifast and what is, for me, an 1100 calorie diet. Down nine pounds!
The hardest thing with following the program is avoiding caffeine. It's not like I have to give it up, my doctor-given goal is no more than 2 cans of diet soda a day. Most days I double that. It's still less than I used to drink and I am drinking a ton more water, but it's something I'm trying to work on.
The other issue is getting in all 7 'mini meals' in a day. I tend to get six and a half in -- I'm supposed to do 6 products and a 150 calorie 'meat and green veggies' meal, and I tend to do 5 products and a 200-250 calorie meal.

When I was 30 I lost a lot of weight, over 100 pounds, and ended up looking pretty good. And yeah, I suddenly went from being invisible to getting hit on by random guys. I wasn't married and had no significant other at the time but I still felt really uncomfortable, simply because I wasn't used to all the attention. It just really unsettled me, hard to explain why. I think it's because I've always been insecure, and it just made me suspicious when men started complimenting me for my looks and stranger started paying attention me.

I am pretty shy by nature. I force myself to talk to people, I'm warm and friendly once people get to know me, but i was always used to being an invisible wall of flesh.
As I have been losing the regain, I am beginning to draw male attention. Part of it is that I am losing everywhere but my boobs. Maybe I am giving off a vibe. I don't know. It's flattering and boosts my confidence, but it also makes me uncomfortable because I am used to only my husband thinking I am sexy. I feel bad that it make me feel good. Like I am being disloyal. I have had to tell more than one guy that I am married (I don't wear a ring) and not a cheater.
Anyone else, experience the same sort of mixed feelings?
Thanks.

Wow-- ok. I left mine to the default setting at first, and increased a tiny bit. I'm thinking of increasing it to 500 now.

It's at 700. It used to be higher, but that was in the summer when it was much easier to get completed since it was warmer & more daylight.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

I'm curious- what do you have the move goal set to for your apple watch?

Finally broke my stall! I was bouncing around within a 3lb range for almost 2 months, but with my birthday and Christmas I was just happy not to gain. Last week I decided to up my water from 80oz to 100oz minimum and voila... the weight just started to melt away! I went from losing an average of 6lb a month (except the last two) to losing 7.2 lbs just this week!
High weight (2013): 449
Start weight (May 2/15): 431.2
Last week: 361.0
This week: 353.8
Next goal: 331.2
My current goal is to lose 100 lbs in a year, I have no doubt that I'll exceed that as I still have 3 whole months to lost 22lbs :)
No change in my weight this week. Boo. But, a huge change in my bust 1 whole inch and a small change in my hips of 1/4". Slow going, but it's going I guess. I have been waffling in the same area, so I am expecting a decent drop over the next two weeks, according to my pattern.
Highest weight: 338 lb
Jan 1 numbers: 220 lb; Bust: 43.75 inches; Waist: 39.5 inches; Hips: 47.75 inches
