Thanks guys!!! It's not a huge deal - just wondered! I'll start using the cocoa butter!

It'll happen! Just keep doing your thing!

Hi Everyone! Are you guys putting anything on your scars to help reduce the appearance of them? Mine is not pretty, and I'd like to start doing something for it. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated!

I love this! Great post!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Here's my problem! Since my first appointment with my nutritionist, I have been walking 30 minutes a day. Now that I've had my surgery, I'm feeling like I should up my exercise, but I'm really dragging my feet on that. I'd love to hear ways that you guys motivate yourselves to get your heart rate up. I just feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to really exercising.

You can do this! You are almost there!!! Keep your chin up.

Add Me please!! I need people to keep me accountable! kkmonroe79

Hi Liz! I don't think you are doing anything wrong...23lbs in the month of November? That's awesome!! Seriously...give yourself some credit and keep on keeping on.

Aww! You too! Congrats on your weight loss!!! Isn't it awesome??

I take in between 500 and 800 calories a day. It might have been a little less when I was on all liquids, but not much because of the Atkins shakes.

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments! I'm so very excited, and I love my band!

I don't mind at all! I lost 19lbs on my week pre op liquid diet. I only had Atkins shakes, broth, Water, and Jello. It was brutal! I didn't expect to lose 40 either. Completely shocked!

Thank you all very much! I'm so excited. I was released to start exercising today as well, so I'm hoping the loss just continues from here.

Hi Everyone! Today was my first follow up appointment with my Dr. My surgery was on Nov.16th and with the holiday, this was the first time my doctor was in my area. Y'all, I have lost 40lbs. This includes my 1 week of liquids pre-op. I am thrilled, and awed, and thankful! I was too excited not to share. Hope everyone is doing well!! Kristy

I had surgery on 11/16 and yesterday was the first day that I felt like myself again. It was 2 weeks to the day from my surgery. The first week or so, I was totally wiped out. Heal and rest...you'll feel back to normal soon!
