Invictus

Great job!!!

Yeah, I found it hard to get started with the exercise at first as well, but once you get going, it gets easier.

Well, you must be losing something - inches, or the dress wouldn't fit.

Sometimes the NSV is more important than a number on a scale. The scale isn't always 100 % accurate, and can go up or down for no reason, but the clothes ? Clothes don't lie. They tell the truth, so congratulations on your big NSV ! Keep it up !!!

I use to gain 3-5 from "Aunt Flo"!

drink, walk and stay away from processed foods (salt) and of course, don't add any salt.

Stalls are inevitable - you will have them and some weeks you will gain. stay the course

Is it with the other milk and choc milk in the coolers?

yes in with the regular chocolate milk

Yum!

congrats on the weight loss and surviving your first week PO -

keep up the good work for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

Great job! The first couple o weeks are the hardest.

I hope it's not too bad and you feel better soon.

todays the day after you posted

take care - kathy

So I do have thrush. Have to suck on a tablet like lozenge 5 times a day. Apparently they don't taste very good and might cause stomach upset . Also going to start taking probiotics

My iPad won't display the previous comments, but I want to add my congratulations to the others I'm sure are there. Keep up the good work.

BTW, I like your screen name. English major?

Not sure why the comments aren't showing up. Thank you for the encouragement! @ IcanMakeit, Invictus is the name of a poem I fell in love with in High school.

sweet!

Thanks emma4884, since there's no swelling, I'm hoping it's just sprained. Been following the first aid I found online. Yeah, I need to "lighten" up in more ways than one. Laughing at myself is kinda hard for me

how is your poor little toe doing??? boo hoo

also - bye to the 300's - kathy

The PA said I probably did break it, but that I was doing exactly what could be done. I can't find anything but flip flops that are not painful

Normal hits everyone at a different time. For me it was a couple of days after, when I started pureed food. I felt much better then and other than being tired I felt pretty good from that point on. I figure out after about 20-25lb loss that my BP meds was too much and once I split the dose my energy levels came up tremendously. hydrate and move for the gas

Congratulations on the surgery and best wishes for a speedy recovery! Walk as much as you can, I know everyone says it but it really does work.

"pass gas" but you know it will "pass" LOL- that is a good one LOL sense of humor after surgery - lol, you'll do great - congrats and good luck kathy

Yay, fellow Texan!! I'm so excited for you! You're going to do great. Best of luck to you!

best wishes i'm 5 days in now an with my post op diet included 30 lbs down, blood sugar is 5.5 never been that low, could lose the meds within a week, i just want to tell the world, go go go for it!!!

you will be awesome. I am 3 months out and have no regrets. except that I wished I had done it earlier.

Keep your eye on the prize. You can make it. I am also pre-op. I find a snack of low fat string cheese or a bit of chicken helps me a lot, Best of the different things I have tried. Good luck.

Amen!

or spoon, straw....Lol!

lol...great!
