Ruffus

I feel the same way! With clothes on man i see the weight is going away. Get naked in front of a mirror and the fat me is back! It wasn't till last week I did my second before and after picture since surgery that I saw I now have collar bones! Who knew?!? Brain fog doesn't clear for a while...

I am 5 months out... I still hate to go grocery shopping! I like Costco for cheese sticks and trader joes for turkey jerky. I know where it is and I go straight in and straight out! Shopping sucks!!!!! I feel lost in there and just send my husband.

There is a board on here for cosmetic surgery... I have been reading on it for the past few weeks! I am looking into it with my Dr. and insurance because there is no amount of shrinkage that will fix my tube sock boobs and hanging basket tummy! Check it out there are great pics and topics on it.

I would search for a natural cleanse on this topic! Try not to have it removed if you can help it. Just my 2 cents worth...

I am the same way! OMGosh I thought it was only me! I am 5 months out. I eat at night... if I don't I can't sleep! I try to get all my fluids in. I still struggle with that!

I was sleeved in October as well. I shed badly right now! I cut my long thick locks into a short pixie cut... I went with the hair cut from Dinner for Smucks...(stephanie i think) I have had so many complements. I tried the Biotin, however i gained weight taking it. when I stopped taking it the weight started to come back off.

I was told to cough but I never did... I just worked on breathing and never had any issues. Sneezing hurt like hell!!!!

I am 5 months out and I am not having any problems at all.

My Dr. Said 3 months out. Just goes to show every Dr. is different

I don't know what happen to my post! I will repost it when I get home and can attach the screen shots! Crazy it just went away!

Up your calories a bit. and make sure you are getting enough liquids in. your body is use to the same amount of calories. as soon as you add more food in there you will see it start to come off again. Example add beef jerky or turkey jerky in for snack with a cheese stick. or a yogurt cup. something small makes a HUGE difference!

How is everyone doing? This group is very quiet! I have been doing ok. I have daily mental struggles and fight with myself over water intake. Other than that the depression about food is gone and I am starting to feel so much more alive! I hope everyone in this group is good. I just wish it was a bit more active.

Can you flush a toilet without water? You have to have water to flush your system out. Once you get in 80% of water have tea... just get in most of your water first. Nothing can really replace water for health benefits.

You didn't mention anywhere in there you are drinking Water. Something drill Sargent's say during basic training... or yell rather! "DRINK WATER!" And you have to finish one of your canteens and hold it upside down over your head to prove you drank it all. Water will help! Cut the coffee to one cup a day and try water when you want another cup! I understand the late night snacking try measuring out almonds or peanuts in a bag. I measure them out to 1/4 cup... I don't eat them all but they satisfy my urge. Also late in the evening try having a warm (slightly heated) Protein shake. That also helps curb my late night hungers. Eat yogurt, cheese sticks, or beef Jerky during the day and try incorporating high protein meals in there for a bit and see if any of this helps. I wish you the best!

I eat OHYEAH bars. they are good I have one or 2 a week

OK i want to let you guys know I am trying! I have had 2 bad days and i have not got all my water in... The water part is killing me!!!! Where I messed up was I had to eat some prunes the last few days... my system decided it didn't want to work well! I am still here staying on track other than that. LUCK EVERYONE!!! ONE ORE DAY TO GO!

Susie, I was the same way for about a month to a month and a half after surgery. I though OMG I will never sleep normal again! However I am 4 months out and I sleep very sound at night now! My dr. said it has something to do with all the new found energy. You will be back to normal.

OK I had an egg for Breakfast Had ham steak for lunch Protein drink while on the road this afternoon and chicken tender out of the breast of a roasted chicken. I tried to get all the Water in today! I got in 80oz. I don't know how I am going to do it unless I tie a damn water bottle to my neck and put a straw in it!!! Oh and I had coffee with non fat milk Weight this morning 151 (I gained a lb this week about to be TOM) I vote we weigh in at the end of our 5 days. I have just recently got to where my scale is not my best friend. if you guys choose to weigh in everyday go for it... just know I will give a status update on Monday morning after all 5 days are complete!

I can take 3 normal size drinks at drink #4 I feel the pain in my stomach. Only for a few seconds though. I am 4 months out if that helps at all

Please count me in!!! I have been stalled for 2 weeks and would love help (support) to keep going and not throw the towel in... which I am ready to do! I am 4 months out, where is everyone else at?

There are times I feel that way. I drink my UNjury when that happens. It only happens when my body is going through its monthly for a day or 2 then I am back to normal.

I am 4 months out and I still have problems! I was told by the Dr. office to make prune tea. Put prunes in a pot of Water and let them steep. If you are at the stage to eat the prunes afterwards then that will help too. (The ones you steeped are soft then) Drink the prune tea and it helps me.

I am 4 months out. I had hernia repair as well. I was in pain for about 3 weeks... It does get better. I was the same I didn't move unless I had to! I felt bad for my kids I felt like a zombie because I asked for a refill of my pain meds and couldn't drive them anywhere for a while! It will get better. Just find a comfy position and then you will be golden until its time to go to the bathroom.

I drink unjury and premiere Protein. I mix it up a bit between the 2. I love the unflavoured protein from UNjury! I make my SF cheese cake pudding with it! I still struggle to get all my protein in daily. But I am trying!
