Awesome!!!

*just (lol, stupid spell check-failed me)

Ust wanted to put a plug in for my fitness pal- if you've got a phone that gets apps, it is so worth it. Gets my meals n snacks all counted and organized and my exercises. Love it.

5/21 and I'm down 16lbs

Those r supposed to be healthier cause it is 100% juice or fruit added, but that's sugary.

Yep

Unlike- light a fire under that doc

I absolutely hate saying this, but I'd be so strict on pre-op and have a last day splurge while in Mexico.

Yeah. It's naturally sugary... As is regular milk

Just gotta back track to soups and start again later. It'll get better, u just need a little more time. And no more chicken fingers!!!

Yep, not too bad

It is nerve wrecking, but you will be just fine. Just start preparing yourself mentally and physically for this surgery, I'm sure you'll get it!

I hope that helps- let me know if I'm not clear, I'll try again

Great ?! The difference is sugar free has an artificial sweetener or defined as sugar less than .5 per serving. No sugar added means it has a natural sugar- like apple juice is naturally sweet, that's why juice is a no no

I wish I had this forum before my surgery! It has been my therapy post surgery though... But welcome. Look foward to your success!

It's a struggle and my love was carbs as well. I got cranky day 3-5 of diet cause that's when my body sai 'oh, snap, she's not going to feed us the good stuff.' but as trying as it was, it was so worth it. Just take a deep breath (try not to smack the mouthy kids) and ride your stress away. You'll do great, love

Woohoo, u got this girl! Buy a couple of goal reminder dresses!(and get that lovely mama of yours something nice too!)

Ask ur surgeon. Im on the ring as well for months and my surgeon said it was fine to leave it in. I had no complications or bad stuff happen and I feel great. It's like I didn't have either done I just eat less now and most of its liquid protein

It's usually from protein. Brush often- it will get better

You gotta blend with ice- the colder, the better

It is kinda like it. My NUT calls it the extreme Atkins

Nope, no additional water with Italian dressing

Buy some taco seasoning and put water in there. Or salsa

As soon as your off the drugs

I just got the app yesterday. I'm a tad obsessed with it.
