  1. I am 3 months out and feeling awesome! Down 60 pounds and working hard to try and lose another 10+ pounds this month. Let's do this March! :780_sparkling_heart:

  2. I haven't been on here lately, but I am happy to say that after a 2 week stall the scale is finally moving again and that feels good! I started working out last week and I have been getting my protein in daily as well as making sure I eat my 5 small meals a day. My water intake is still not all the way up to 64oz a day, but all things considered I am doing REALLY well. There was a 2.5 week period around week 4 post-op that I just couldn't make myself eat or drink anything and everything made me feel sick and grossed out, so after a visit to the doctor it turned out I had a severe UTI, and once I started my antibiotics the nausea went away and I was able to eat without feeling gross! So happy to say it DOES get better ya'll! You just have to hang in there and be sure to keep in touch with your doctor if you have any issues. I am almost 2 months out and I am so happy with my progress and how things have started to become my new "normal". Be blessed today!

      Great news! I am also 2 months out! I have been on a recent stall also, I am hoping it will pass soon!

      Yes! I say my stall broke finally, but after losing 2 pounds since my last stall, im not losing again HAHA. Oh this funny thing called weight loss... it's too bad we have no control over how we lose completely huh? I really am thinking I might need to MAKE myself really up my water intake. I am averaging probably about 45oz a day. It's been hard trying to eat my 5 meals a day with spacing out the drinking between, and getting my protein in... so I have been sacrificing some on the liquid intake to make sure I get the other stuff in. I will make that my focus this next week and see if that does the trick!

  3. Its so hard to believe I am already 2.5 weeks post-op! Still struggling to get everything in, but I just do my best and take it a day at a time. Started back at work today and it is going better than I thought it would. I find I am tired but not so bad that I need to go home so that is a plus to me!

  4. 6 days out and I am still struggling with getting in liquids. I haven't had much of anything substantial since before my surgery on Monday, so I managed to eat 1 yogurt today and 1 sugar free Popsicle, and I have been having constant ice chips today as well as a bit of water and half a protein shake. I am hoping it continues to get better each day :(

      Thank you, it can just be very discouraging and I just really don't want to get severely dehydrated so it has me panicking.

      Keep sipping water, I know how hard it is for sure! I do best with cold water but some people do better with room temperature or even warm water. Hang in there, it gets better!

      Sip, sip, sip. I know it's no fun, but it is important. Everything will continue to improve over the coming days and weeks.
