I am on long term 1/2 dose Miralax every other day. Still... at 19 months. I was never constipated before surgery. Talk with your PCP or surgeon, there are things to do. Warning... mine told me not to even think about considering myself constipated on the liquid diet until after 5 days. Your solid food intake will improve this as you progress.

Track you body measurements. Inches lost is weight lost. If you don't think 40 pounds is a loss pick up a big bag of dog food at the grocery store and carry it around for a while. It is HEAVY! Keep up the good work. Sometimes the brain takes a while to catch up since you see yourself every day. Trust in the scales and consider the body measurements. Good luck!

Be your own motivation. Want to lose! Yes, I too recommend My Fitness Pal, and I would also suggest an evening hobby. Sewing, knitting, scrapbooking, anything to keep the hands busy! Good luck. You can beat head hunger.

I was told 6 weeks!

Woohoo! Keep up the great work!

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. It is the best thing I ever did for myself!

Walking can never hurt!

Great start! Keep up the good work. I can see you losing already! Congratulations.

Take care of the constipation and then talk to your doctor is the pain is not gone.

Good morning ladies... internet service is back up at the boat so I can use a real computer! Sounds like busy weekends for all. Janet... rest Dee... glad you family had such a fun day! Cawa... keep floating Carole... prayers for Sushi and looking forward to the 26th! Diane... are things calming down for you... likewise can't wait to meet in person! Mini... you are looking great, keep up the good work! Dawn... maintaining focus is hard... I have been struggling with mine too. When I am not at home, I tend to lose focus easy. Everybody have a good Sunday and a great new week!

Just a quick goodnight to my favorite people! Love you all!

Carole, hope Sushi improves on meds.

OK logged the dang ginger snaps!

Great NSV! Congratulations.

PB and slime. Try eating slower at first.

White loaf bread!

Congratulations and welcome to the journey of a lifetime! I wish you well!

Check the nutritional labels and see. I think Ricotta has a higher fat content. Or... better hyet, call your nutritionist!

Too true NewDawn!

Sorry you had this problem. I would be unhappy too!

Storm is gone from here... from what I cal tell kit was worse in Durham where we live than at the coast. Goodie! I can't wait to go home and pick up limbs from the yard. Janet... is your garden still flooded. Dee... You comments about a bathing suit made me smile and cry at the same time! Carole... Hope the unpacking is going well and your band will settle down soon. Dawn... I feel for you.... I am struggling right now with the maintenance. Started logging my food and gained 1 pound every day since! I know... not supposed to weigh daily! Today I ate half a box of ginger snaps.... How the 2%$# I will log that I don't know! Diane... I knew you would come to your senses. Mini... you are looking so good. Cawa you are rocking this stuff Love to you all... now about those ginger snaps!

Sun

Rain, wind, and brown outs but should be over soon. The sum is out now.. Go figure! And no it was a vanilla shake. Band is ok today! Love to all!

I would go with dehydration.

Did you go on lliquids for 24 hours after the fill?
