I had a pretty good week! Started mushies this week. Struggled with getting in protein for the first few days, but I'm getting the hang of it! I did get in my 4 days of exercise. Still struggling with the water. I sip and sip, but only seem to get to about 50 ounces. SW 230 CW 225.4 (down 2.8) GW 210 Good luck everybody!! Keep going strong!

This sounds AWESOME!! Plus it meets my favorite criteria.....it seems fairly easy!! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome!!! You look great! Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday and congratulations!! Enjoy your special day!!

I have belonged to Planet Fitness for about a year! It is an adequate gym. Mine is not very busy and there are always open machines. The thing is you get what you pay for. If you are looking for variety like classes, a pool, or qualified people to help you I would try someplace else.

Whoo Hoo Onderland!! That is so awesome! I was sleeved the same day as you, but my weight was a little higher! Hope to join you there soon! Keep on being a great loser!!

You will do great!! It is totally worth it! Speedy recovery and can't wait to hear about your journey!

1st Labor Day Challenge Weigh In Went to the gym 4 times( even did a few reps of 2 min walk 1 min jog) 60 grams of protein each day Still need to work on the water I'm only getting about 45-50 oz a day Starting Weight 230 Current Weight 228.2 (down 1.8) Goal Weight 210 Not to bad!! Hoping to drop a little more next week, but a loss is ALWAYS better than a gain!! Good luck everybody!

Whoo Hoo!! This was just one of many awesome days to come! Congrats on all of your successes!

Awesome job!! You look great!

Yeah......My first challenge!!!! 1. Lose 20 pounds. That will put me at my wedding weight from 8 years ago. 2. Get in all my Protein and Water. 3. Exercise 4-5 days a week.

Awesome job TimmyT! Keep up the great work!

Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!

Whooooo Hooooo!!! Great job! Hope to join you there soon! Keep up the good work!

Welcome to this site!! Glad to be here to help you with your journey while you help us with ours too! Your post was awesome! I never looked at it quite that way. Thanks for the new way of thinking!! Happy Monday!

I was sleeved on 6/18 too!! I am down 28 pounds with 112 to go. Reading posts on the forum is great, but remember not everyone is the same. Be happy for every pound gone even if in the back of your mind you don't think it is enough. It's always better when the scale goes down and not up:) Getting in the protein is tough my NUT says 60 grams a day. I'm drinking Premier Protein shakes with 30 grams of protein a piece. Those have really helped. I'm still struggling with the water. I'm right with you really working on it and getting up to about 40oz a day. Keep up the great work!

Awesome job!! I hit my first 25 this week too. I too have a long journey left still 115 pounds to go! But 115 sounds better than 140. Keep up the great work!

I like MyfitnessPal. I used it before surgery and already have friends on it. The only problem is everyday since surgery it tells me I am eating too few calories!

I had my surgery on 6/18. This was my first surgery ever and aim really amazed at how well things have gone. I Still have a lot of bruising around the incisions and where the IV was, but only one incision is a little tender. I am a side sleeper and at first I propped a pillow on my side, but now I'm back to normal. My only complaint is the low energy. I seem to get tired much faster than before. I'm not sure if it is surgery recovery or due to not eating hardly anything! Hope things are going well for you!

That is AWESOME!! I can't wait until I can shop in any store just off the regular rack!

My surgery was on June 18th! I'm just finishing up my week of clear. Then I have 2 weeks of liquid. Then 2 weeks do semi soft food! I have never been so excited about soup and pudding before! Good luck on your journey hope to compare notes with you often.

I was sleeved on June 18th and had a very similar experience! It has since gone away now it only happens if I forget and take a big sip. Give it a few days, but if your not comfortable definitely call your doc. Good luck!
