katyb2k reacted to Crafty-in-Carolina in (NSV) Gasp! I bought WHITE pants!!!
My wardrobe over the past many years has been varying shades of black or gray (see last pic). I have been shopping thrift stores mainly until I get to a place where my weight stabilizes, but decided I could use a couple of new items, so I decided to splurge. I bought WHITE pants!!! LOL. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you, it really is. I've always carried so much of my weight in my butt and thighs and always chose dark colors for skirts and pants. It felt so good to buy a nice pair of white pants for spring, lol. In a size 10 no less. Squeeee!!!! 5 months out and gone from a size 18/20 in pants to a size 10!!! I am doing a celebration dance over here! No regrets!

The way I cut out caffeine before surgery was to start with half-caff coffee grounds, and then diluted it every few days with some Decaf coffee grounds until it was all decaf. Had almost no withdrawal symptoms. Ta-da! -

It's due to ketosis. It goes away as your diet advances.

I'm 4 weeks post-op and in the same boat. I'm in Minnesota, so even walking outside is out of the picture. However, I do have some resistance bands that my exercise physiologist gave me so I could do strength training at home before surgery, and today I feel good enough that I'm going to start those exercises again. Maybe you could do the same? Then you can just get started in your own home- much easier than going to the gym. Now to just get my butt walking... :-)

katyb2k got a reaction from Julie norton in Protein powder
You might want to to check if the 50g is for 1 scoop or 2 scoops. Also, for me, the pre-mixed chocolate muscle milk is absolutely disgusting. Not sure if the powder tastes the same or not, but it sure might.
