Hi Everyone Sorry for not posting but I have been battling a nasty cough which has turned into bronchitis mixed with some asthma so I have been not feeling 100%. Today it's back to urgent care since the wheezing in my chest is getting worse. But nevertheless am still trying to plug along. I haven't been able to go to the gym for obvious reasons but as soon as I can I will be heading back. Hope everyone is well!

So we can't have like dulcolax?

Yes I'm going to start to increase my calories today and keep my fingers crossed that the scale starts to move.

Can we take a laxative to help with being "backed up"?

I'm not but it's tough. I definitely think inches are coming off but it would be nice to see the scale move as well

I actually don't think I eat enough. I usually have a protein shake for breakfast, for lunch I have either a chicken salad or chicken (usually 3 ozs) with cauliflower rice for dinner I usually have a protein shake cuz I'm not really hungry or I have a cheese stick . So yea I don't think I eat a lot....

I made it to the gym yesterday. Today I will probably go after work. I've hit a 2 week stall and am trying to break it with increase in exercise but that hasn't helped yet but I will keep the cardio up. The stall has to break some way! Lol

Thanks!!! Not really sure what I have maybe a sinus infection but I'm determined to get to the gym this week so I am pushing on and getting my cardio on

Hi there! I'm feeling a bit under the weather but still managed to get a workout in! Yay me lol I'm exhausted though hope all is well with you!

Omg I've started to notice more hair also....? I've prepared myself for it mentally but I still don't want to see it fall out...

Happy 2 month surgerversity everyone! I weighed myself today. Down 28 pounds since starting this journey! Thankful for all the support I get from all you ladies here!

It feels amazing!

I went to the gym today! So proud of myself! First visit in over 2 years but I took it easy. Feels good to be more active!

I feel the same way I have tons of energy and although I get tired around 9-10 that was my normal time before surgery. I am definately loving this new found energy. Will be joining a gym on Wednesday! Gonna check that one off my list in a few days! Enjoy the 4th everyone!

Hi Ladies I made a ricotta bake tonight and added some ground beef and it was delicious I felt like I could eat more than I served myself but then my tummy said no no no lol. I'm still struggling a little to get some food in but I think it's cuz the dr took me off the acid reflux meds...I might get some Prilosec and try that. Hope everyone is wnjoying their July 4 the weekend!

Hi ladies so wondering if anyone is experiencing this for the past two days I can't seem to eat much of anything. I eat maybe 2 bits and it feels like a lump and I can't eat anymore. I even get the feeling when I'm eating my gummy vitamins...not sure if this is normal...is anyone else felt this? I'm having a hard time even with protein shakes and water,..

I'm the same I'm not trying to buy a lot of clothes either but my shorts were looking funny and my shirts were really big but I'm waiting to buy more pieces.

Hello ladies...so I had a NSV today....guess who bought shorts in a size 12 ???? I was a 16 just 1 month ago.... wooo hooo I also bought 2 medium size shirts I was an XL looking forward to buying more clothes but not to much right now lol

Ladies I am back from the wedding I had a fabulous time and I even lost weight while I was away which is a first for me! I am down 3 pounds for a total of 22 since surgery!! I saw my NUT today and she added some veggies and fruit to my diet so I will be trying some to see how my stomach reacts. I find that if I try to add to many "new foods" my stomach is not happy so will try new foods slowly lol. I will say my eyes definately eat more than my stomach. I still fill my plate thinking I can eat it but only get about 3-4 bites in and I'm done so glad for this tool to help control my eating!

Hi Ladies...sorry I haven't updated on a few days but I am out of town in SC with my bestie as one of my god sons is getting married tomorrow so I have been running around with her getting the final things needed and today helping her cook. I definately look forward to hearing from you ladies so I hope this thread continues.

I am out of town this week so I will be weighing in when I return

I am going to count the 15th of the month also. Much easier! I can't believe we are a month out ladies!!! We have made it through the surgery and recovery and are on our way to healthy long lives!

Thanks! I'm sure your down in both weight and inches....I was slacking on doing my measurements but I was really surprised it is down by that much lol

Good Morning Ladies....so I have to share!!!! I took my measurements this morning and I've lost 15inches in total! I was shocked! The scale also starting moving today! Today was my lucky day lol. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Saturday!

I'm going to make a ricotta bake this weekend. I tried beans with cheese and my stomach did not like that...I was in the bathroom 20 min later lol
