Guys I've started writing all about my personal journey and how stick food has helped me eat more easily along with recipes. I've written about the emotions that go along with this experience you can find my blog at http://sticksandstones.blog I'm 6 months out from presurgery and surgery was 5 months ago. I've lost 130+ pounds. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I'm now part of the 100+ club!!! Started pre-surgery December 2nd, surgery January 23rd today 116 days later I hit 100lbs lost!!

I was told I had to wait a year, but I'm not sure I can make that! I'm 6 weeks out and I'm going to attempt to make at least 6 months. I had one sip on Mardi Gras day. I have always liked whiskey but I know the calories are hell

When was the first time you had a drink after surgery? What alcohol works best for you? Share your stories about booze please!

I actually use an arm bike at pt! They make me stand while doing t and I only do 5 minutes but I am doing it! I'm gonna start swimming next week!

I have arthritis in my right knee and patellar tendonitis and bursitis in my right hip from being hit by a ford f 250 2 years ago... I use an anti gravity treadmill at pt but I'm only getting 30 minutes of exercise 3x a week

I can't belly hoop I've tried a thousand times and just can't do it, but getting a small hoop would be really good for arms! Thanks!!

I'm trying to find the best exercises for me to do. I have right leg injuries but I need to get more exercise and I want to start toning my under arms so they don't become a completely flabby mess. I am taking suggestions please help!

I'm having a hard time with just liquids. I'm 2 weeks post op as well and all I want to do is chew something. I can have yogurt and pudding...Just not the same. I don't even want anything fatty I just want to chew. I miss salty as well. The broth is ok...but man this is hard. I get to have oatmeal on Wednesday. That might help.
