Hi 303nursemom, doing great , 5 lbs from a normal BMI . Still losing , but slow , about 2-3 lbs a month

I used to mute the commercials and do short workout sessions until the show came back on ( Jeopardy!... Don't judge me 😁)

Wooohoooo! Happy Anniversary to you and huge thanks for all you do!!! And for your humor and friendship! Sadly, I do not have a glacier for you. But here is some virtual matcha for ya!

Hope you figure it all out but I agree with above I'll be taking the year or two to myself to not only lose weight but to tone up, increase my self-esteem and confidence and to be completely ready to put myself out there.

actually, that is kind of a lot given your starting BMI. Congrats! But like the above poster said, it's going to really slow down after the first month, so just know to expect that..

Good luck! Just focus on the long term!

OK - I understand now. With that longer intestinal bypass part, you'll have to be REALLY diligent with your vitamins. It's going to be even more critical now because you'll be even more prone to vitamin deficiencies than you were before. Good luck to you, by the way...hope this does the trick for you!

My surgery went very well! I came home on Tuesday evening and the pain is getting better but still lingering. Trying my best to get my protein shakes in, but they just don't taste the same. I use Orgain mixed with low fat lactose free milk. I'm required to drink 16 oz. I was able to get in 14ozs yesterday. Also tried just a little water, jello, and 8oz of broth. I'm glad I'm able hold my liquids down. My goal today is to get my full 16ozs of protein in. What flavors of extract have you guys tried in your protein smoothies to make them taste better?

Well, i, as well as many others are as a rule on here, so anytime you feel like talking, here we are. No matter how prepared you feel you are, Bariatrics still hold surprises and You Do Learn As You Go. But when I feel bewildered there are always veterans who have helped me get through whatever was bothering ME! And I do believe you'll end up just fine!😝👍

I went throw Kiaser and I did ask if my BMI got lower would they cancel surgery. My doctor said no! They would still offer me waightloss surgery. She said having surgery at this BMI is a good thing because I would be able to get under the obesity BMI and maintain it. I am excited! I am on day 8 and have lost 12lbs.
