Breaking your scale is not a bad thing! I waited til my 2 week check up to weigh in:)

I work in a medical building probably 75% desk work/25% running around. No heavy lifting. I took off 2 weeks and it was perfect for me but everyone is different and you'll get a range of answers. My dr suggested 2 weeks so that's what I went with.

All docs have different guidelines. Mine allowed decaf and at 6 month post-op said I could try caf again and see how it went.

Congratulations on the 100 lb loss!! You look HAPPY and amazing!

Great job!! Happy for your success!

It can be near impossible for some to hit those Protein numbers the first 2 weeks! My Dr and nut told me to concentrate on getting liquids in so not to become dehydrated so I was supplementing with drinking chicken broth & eating SF popsicles while trying to sip liquids. The numbers will get easier to hit in the weeks ahead. Just don't get dehydrated and good luck with your journey!

I was allowed de-caf coffee & tea post surgery. I actually switched over a couple weeks pre-surgery. At my 6 month check up I was cleared to try caffeine & carbonation to see how it went. I drink both caf and de-caf coffee now. Have not tried pop and probably won't get back into that habit but have had some 0 cal-0 sodium sparkling raspberry water and that has been a refreshing addition in small quantities.

Those are amazing numbers! Hope you have great adventures in your new body and on your new bike!

Great job and much more fun when you look at clothes now. Just did ANOTHER sweep of my closet and have about 20 more items that are too big. My wearable wardrobe is minimal but I'm ok with that for a while longer!

BIG difference so soon!! Good for you!

My sleeve still enjoys spicy hot stuff thank goodness since I do too!!

This too shall pass! It was 4 months before I could drink water without feeling like someone tossed a rock in a pond to create waves in the water. I kept trying each day with a few sips and finally it just happened. Now I can pretty much drink as before surgery. Was not sure it was going to be that way again since it took so long. I had no problem drinking hot decaf coffee or tea but could not do room temp (my usual) or iced beverages. Weird but didn't want you too think it was permanent! Good luck with your journey!

What a great trip to celebrate your new selves! You both look great and happy!

You look awesome! Congratulations!

Looking like a hottie girl!!! Congratulations!

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!

Great job!!! You look much younger! Where's the pics of both of you?

You will be able to increase both your Protein and fluids soon. The first 2 weeks I couldn't reach my goals at all in those. My Dr said to concentrate on fluids so I wouldn't get dehydrated. The worst is over for both of you. Each day will get better! The time goes by so quickly when you look back at it. Good luck in your journeys!

Congratulations!!! You're doing great. I am so looking forward to being overweight Only 6 more lbs until I get there!

I have no problem with pickles. Didn't try them right away but do enjoy one now and then:)

So your ID name is no longer accurate!!

WOW the incredible shrinking woman! Congratulations on your journey!

On the lighter side my singing has not been affected by surgery. Sounded like crap before and still sound the same though it doesn't stop me from singing every day!!!

It goes by so quickly!!!
