I would need to drink room temperature Water. It helped it go down faster, Welcome to the Losers Bench!!

Weight loss is personalized to you, your body, how well you follow the program and willingness not to fail. Someone in my support group had posted this.

Well, that was one hell of a solution. I would have never thought that.

You can order about 100 of them on Amazon for less than $5 if you can’t get them from the pharmacy. The hospital gave me three huge stacks of them. I used them for my crushed medication as well.

If you had any of those little baby medicine cups that might work too. Next time you go to your pharmacy ask if you can have some, they usually have them for kids cough syrups and they probably wouldn't charge for them as a courtesy to you, the customer.

Well, did they put on you on the pouch reset? Also, are you tracking your calories and macros? I use the following Apps and fitness devices:
1) MyfitnessPal (I track my calories and macros (fat, carbs, protein))
2) Fitbit (I track my steps and exercise. You can link it to the MyfitnessPal)
3) Purchasing a food scale and smaller portion containers.
4) Try for interval workouts.
I hope this helps. I am sure I am missing some things.

Remember, no matter how slow you think you are losing. Progress is still progress.
Also, you can try dividing your weight loss. So you lost 20lbs a month average, 5lbs a week average. That is a great amount of loss.

I have a playlist for every workout. My Leg Day consists of Lady Gaga (Applause, Telephone, Paparazzi), Sia (Greatest, Cheap Thrills), Shakira (She Wolf) Destiny Childs (Bootylicious, Lose My Breathe), Fall Out Boy (Centuries, I Don't Care, My Songs Know), Linkin Park (Breaking the Habit), Fort Minor (Remember the Name) and end with some rap lol.

Huge NSV!!! Congratulations.

I went back to doing CrossFit! It allows me to get my cardio and weight training.

This is normal. You have buyers remorse. You regret the decision you made because you do not feel the instant gratification you thought you would feel. The first few weeks are the hardest. Nothing comes easy and this is the hardest part of the journey you will have.
Honestly, it gets better. A lot better. It just takes time. Your feeling towards food is due to your fear that it will make you sick or that you think eating will make you gain weight. I felt both those emotions. Just know you need to eat, it is essential. Do not fear food. You will only be trading in one extreme for another. The goal is to gain a healthy relationship with food.
I used to live to eat. Now I eat to live. I look at food as what nutrition can I get from it. I make all kinds of recipes of my favorite foods, just low carb and calorie options.
It does get better. It just takes time.

I can say upfront that this will be a difficult journey. You will need to adjust to your new life and learn how to manage your nutrients properly.
However, most of the issues you discuss are definitely people who do not follow their programs and change their lifestyles.
Personally, this was the best decision that I have ever made. Fear aside, I would have done it earlier. Fear aside, I am soo happy that I was able to regain my life. This tool saved my life.

Your journey is moving. I am so happy that both of you are able to overcome such a hurdle. Being willing and strong enough to take back your lives like that are inspiring. I personally did not experience it but I was an SVVA advocate when in college. I specialized in child sexual abuse and how it can affect into adulthood. I also specialized in Domestic Violence. I saw and heard so many things that changed and shaped my world and how I treated people.
See we judge people and treat people unfairly not understanding what is going on in their homes or what is happening to them. That single smile or feeling of safety means so much more than any of us who lived a carefree life will ever understand.
I hope you find that peace as you deserve it.

This is for anyone who has a Fitbit. I would like to create a group in which you do weekly and weekend competitions with each other. You can find me by my username Teeara T.

I go swimming. I love to show off my sexy legs and strong arms lol

I had tried it once and ended up not liking it. (I was sleeved)

Sparkling Water is not good. Carbonated. If you are pre-op then it is fine but after surgery will not be able to have it.

Smile and say "of course you are right" You don't need his approval or permission to live an amazing healthy life. Stop explaining.

The meme is a joke. No need to shoot him. *laughing*

So look, I'm not gonna lie to you. I worked my ass off pre-op to lose weight and lost somewhere around 50+ lbs if I remember correctly? But along the way, I also had a few food funerals. But for the most part, my diet was very clean. I did this mainly cuz I was terrified that my liver would be as big as a foie gras goose liver! I wanted to reduce it over those 6 months. I truly was so scared I'd be the girl they'd open and close telling me, "Your liver was so damn big, I've never seen anything like it," and close me up without the surgery.
So I had surgery about 5weeks ago. The doc told me my liver was small and pink and did just what it was supposed to do--stayed silent and out of the way during my RNY. So the angst is worth it.
It's also worth it to decarb, dealcohol, desmoke, and decaffeinate. It's much easier to go through Keto flu without the operation to deal with too. My recovery was obscenely easy. The surgery was obscenely easy. Cuz I prepared like hell up front.
IF you are truly having eating issues and it sounds like you are, I'd look up a therapist--someone who specializes in bariatrics. I'd ask your surgeon. I would level with your team about what's going on with you and ask for help. My RD was all I needed, but some need more help. Don't be ashamed to do what you need to start your new life out on the right footing!!!
