My surgeon told me to eat a prune a day and it works wonders!!

I made my own protein shakes in the morning with water, protein powder and maybe 3 or 4 strawberries and I put the vitamins in the blender with it and blended it with the shake. It also gave it a good flavor.

I have the Mirena as well. I had already discussed this with my obgyn before the surgery and she told me that it would be crazy until I reach my goal weight. It seems like with every 10lbs I loose it comes back. I only have the Mirena to regulate me because my tubes are burned and I must say it's doing good so far. Haven't had any crazy spells as far as bleeding a lot of days nonstop but it comes earlier now.

Welcome to the group and to this journey as well!! Hope everything went fine!!

Thanks!! I think we all have that problem where we just don't see ourselves as others do!! Keep going and I'm sure you'll notice it too

Try crushing them in a homemade smoothie. That's what I do and it seems to work well for me.

Thank you!!! I believe that as well!!

I've been getting lots of compliments on how I look now and how I'm doing a great job on my weight loss but I haven't noticed it. The other day I decided to take some side by side photos and it wasn't until then that I noticed it. Just wondering do anyone else feel the same way?!!!
