My condolences to you. I am so glad that others have taken the time to offer you support. Let's keep doing that, but honestly, Lynda, please consider getting into counseling. Grief is complicated and more so when you add our current pandemic and bariatric life all combined; a strong, effective grief counselor could offer you some much-needed support at this time.

This is such a wonderful story. We’re still human. You SERIOUSLY worked this well. Thanks for sharing. I kept waiting for the bad thing - eating them all, several of them and/or getting sick afterwards. Kudos human, kudos.

I enjoyed water before Gastric sleeve as well. I had my sleeve in 2016 and I still don't gulp water but I do enjoy it much more now. I had to smile when I read your post so I chimed in on it. Many, if not all of us "water drinkers" have been there.

Yeh, I think, no I believe that “haters are gonna hate”. Seriously, I believe that as we get smaller we intimidate those people; especially if we were already fairly confident. How many of us have heard the comments about how THEY are going to lose weight without surgery. Then, surprise. . . It doesn’t happen, but the person says it loud enough for you to hear.

I want to participate, but I'm not sure how. LOL? Break it down please.

I do my best to weigh on the same day. The first year I wore the same outfit until the weather changed, then I wore the same outfit during the spring/summer. I am two years out now and I still weight once a week now, but I will calculate for my shoes and clothes. I hope this helps.

I want to join the challenge I think. I need additional clarity though - do we have to do each of the 31 rules to be considered.

Yes please stay hydrated. At this point contact your primary care doctor. Bless you. That pain is no joke. Keep us posted.

Thanks for sharing. Your disclosures are inspiring.

Great thread.

I've found varying prices on Amazon I've been getting mine from Walgreens. They are not the most inexpensive but worth it.

Quest is tasty, but the absolute best one that I've found is Supreme Protein. It really tastes like a candy bar and 30g of protein!!

I hiccup. LOL Once I do, I look and ask myself if that last bite is worth the risk . . . nope. LOL

I can relate to the muscle loss. Please share the name of the app. I'd like to ty it. TIA
