  1. 186 today! Tkx for managing this challenge Susan
  2. Angryviking - that's hilarious. I two did something similar. Was playing baseball on the Sept long weekend with ..hmm some 7-8 year olds and when I hit the ball and took off running to 1st base I put far too much effort in the push off and went @ss over tea kettle......kids thought it was the funniest thing they had ever saw. I on the other hand was calling for a medic. My back still smarts - but I'm smiling because I haven't even attempted baseball in over 20 years!
  3. I have been suffering from constipation since week 3. Tried fibre pills, extra fibre, oat meals, chia seeds, Miralax, colace, milk of magnesia....was truely getting desperate. Then I read on one of these boards about prunes. Thought, well I'll give it a shot expecting nada. WELL, 4 prunes in the evening followed by a glass of hot water 45 min later, 4 prunes in am again and VOILA! Serenity!! Have been doing this daily since Saturday (I know only a few days) but have had regular, easy poops daily since. I feel human again. . Thank you to whomever recommended this age old remedy...yes I feel "old" but a comfy old. Good luck

  6. Never mind. I shut down the app and restarted and now it works!
  7. Hi Alex, yup just downloaded the new app yesterday and today is my first day using the latest version. When I go on the site via the web I have no problem.
  8. I can not see the photos people are posting. I see a very tiny image but when I select the photo it will not show up. Just shows a broken link. Using an ipad if that helps.
  9. Hey Fizik23 I'm interested in becoming a buddy. I am 50 and also have three almost grown kids (21, 19, and 16). I had my surgery on May 14th and m down 40 lbs (slow but steady). I am an assistant director at a university in research admin. Feel free to add me as a friend Nancy
  10. You look fab! Definite deference in your now photo!
  11. Stretch goal weight 187 Today's weight 190 Sooooo close! Super happy with my progress regardless. Tkx for the challenge and onto the Halloween challenge I shall go
  12. I love grilled anything, veggies, salmon, steak, chicken. I like to keep it simple and fresh rather than a package as the sodium or extra sugars typically don't sit well with my new tummy. I usually can eat around 1.5 to 2 oz of most meets and a 1\4 cup of a veggies. However, having said that we do occasionally pick up a rotisserie chicken from the deli and put that on a salad, or fajita etc like Lindafromflorida does as well. As for burping - still very much a constant for me 3.5 months out
  13. Oh yes, my used to talk every meal for at least 8+ weeks. Now it's only occasionally, not sure what has changed but kinda miss the conversation
  14. I was just talking to my trainer about shakeology today. I do not use it but hear that it's good but a bit grainy in texture. I really like Dynamatize protein powder, it's mixes well with water or milk, not grainy and tastes fabulous!
  15. Yup I am on an acid blocker. Feeling a wee bit better today and have at least managed to get in 64oz of water today (added peppermint leaves to the water and seems to help) and food has gone down better today as well. Only at 700cals today but that is way better than the last two days. Must have just been a spell. Tkx butterfly high and oregondaisy!
  16. Yesterday and today I have barely been able to stomach eating or drinking anything. Both days I've managed no more than 4-500 calories. Yesterday I forced myself to drink 24oz of water and today I just couldn't get in water. Still working on my 16oz. Normally I eat 1000 calories and rink anywhere from 72-80 oz of water with out any issues. I am not nauseous or sick in anyway, just can't physically eat or drink without felling OFF, not sure what to do. Planning on calling my management team in the am but just thought I'd throw this question out there.
  17. 192 this morning (was 191yesterday). Still 2 lbs down from last week - happy happy
  18. I am 3.5 months out and really thought I had gotten away with no hair loss....nope it has started this week with a vengeance. Coming out by the handfuls now.
  19. I take my multivitamin, b12 and D in the morning, calcium citrate at noon/3pm and 7 pm and then my synthroid at bed time
  20. If you are in the US I have found them any GNC that I have visited. I live in Canada and can only find them on line
  21. Awesome! Count me in too! Thank you for coordinating this as I know it's a lot of work. We all really ya appreciate it. Oh and thank you for changing the weight in day to Fridays. That's my usual day so makes it easier to remember too
  22. Woohoo -194 lbs today
  23. I am 3 months out and have not had any issues
