Thanks for taking the time to post this . I am sure it will help many people!!

I think that sounds right! And welcome. So happy to have you here!!

How far out are you? It is important not to get dehydrated. Have you talked to your dr?

You're doing awesome. I am so happy for you!!!

As others mentioned, I did clear liquids too at first and then moved onto protein shakes. I drink the Atkins Caramel Cafe and still do. But there are so many you might try getting samples. I had a horrendous time getting in all the protein . Between that and water it was like a full time job lol. But I know you will do great!

WOW. That is amazing. I am so happy for you!! I bet you will now LOVE shopping!!!

Awesome! thanks for posting this!!

You are not alone on this one! A lot of people have had to fight to get this surgery. Fighting everyone from their insurance to their relatives. But if you know in your heart this is what you need then you have to just go for it. Like you I was very nervous and scared. I had plenty of people telling not to do it. But something told me "do it. it's time". I waited 10 years and in those 10 years I gained double the weight. I knew I needed it and it has been a miracle for me. Hang in there and if you don't have support at home then come here. we will support you!

I wouldn't be lifting weights for awhile. that is my opinion. No need to risk tearing things. But walking should be safe.

Of course you should ask your doctor first but I can tell you my experience. I began walking from the start. In the hospital, it was the hallway. At home, it was my hallway. Through the 2nd week I would pace up and down my hallway in my house 50 times a day coutning each one . On week 3, I started outside walking. One mailbox at a time. Every day I would add another mailbox until I got around the block. And then I would add another mailbox until I was twice around the block. And eventually I got up to 5 miles. Something else I use is Leslie Sansone walking tapes if you prefer not to go outside. I wish you all the best . I think the fact that you are thinking about incorporating exercise shows that you are really on board with using all the tools available to be successful!

How exciting!! I will be so happy the day I am out of plus size. I am SO excited for you. I can only imagine the party that must have been going on in the aisles of Target. Pop the cork!!!

Yeah! I am so happy about this. I just downloaded it to my iphone . This will be so great.

I have learned the hard way not to compare myself to others. Whenever I have done this I get depressed and actually do worse. It really affects me mentally, psychologically, emotionally. The one thing I check is if I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. If you know that you are following the plan then that is all you need to know. I think we sometimes need to stare straight ahead and not look left or right at what others are doing . As long as you know you are doing what you should be doing then don't worry about it. My motto is as long as the scale is going down then that's fine with me!!! You should be proud of yourself b/c you're doing great!! You even said you are going to the gym. Well YEE HAW for you!!! I mean you are really kicking butt. So don't fret!

Yeah I am so happy for you!! This is going to be a wonderful thing for you. Your profile pic is so gorgeous I can't even imagine you needing to lose weight. But I'm just overjoyed that you came out and are ready to begin this wonderful journey!

I'm sorry to hear this is happening but I'm really glad that your DR is on top of it. I am thinking of you!!!

Wow that made my day !!! It really did. thank you soooo much!!!
