Thank you. I actually had the gastric bypass but you are right I've done great so far and I need to just keep on going. I'm going to have my boyfriend hide the scale because as long as I know where it's at I will keep getting on it.

I'm hoping working out gets my weight loss going again. I'm trying to drink more water but it fills me up to the point I don't eat at all.

I get on the scale every morning. I tell myself not to but I do it anyways. I think I'm going to tell my boyfriend to hide the scale.

I was doing a hour of walking. That's all I was told to do till I got cleared. I will definitely be going straight from work because I work close to gym but live far from everything. I'm starting the gym tomorrow and gonna try to stay on a routine of 3 times a week. I really hope that helps.

I'm going on 4 weeks out of surgery. I was doing good loosing weight and I lost 24# in 2 1/2 weeks and now I've been stuck there and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't eat much I'm still on pureed foods till this weekend and I drink about 32 oz of water if I drink more I get so full I don't eat at all. I just got the ok for physical activity so I'm starting the gym tomorrow. I'm going on over 1 week of the same weight and it's depressing.

I will definitely get me some crystal light. Thanks.

Drinking water has been so hard too. I drink about 32 oz of watered down sweet tea. If I try just doing straight water I drink about 16oz the whole day. I have a Dr appointment this Thursday and I'm sure my Dr. is not gonna be very happy.

Thank you. For your suggestions. Im not usually a sweets person but right now the cravings are strong. Right now I'm feeling beyond nauseating from those 2 small pieces of chocolate. Lesson learned.

I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and doing good but I started my period 3 days ago and I'm craving chocolate or anything sweet so bad right now. I gave in and had 2 of those mini Snickers

WOW. Sorry your mom was like that to you. I'm sure your a amazing person. I hope your husband is supportive. I only told my family but they told others. I wasn't planning on keeping it a secret but I didn't tell them to tell others either.

Thank you. It was scary but I'm still happy I went through with it. I'm 16 days out of surgery and have lost 24# already. I look foward to the new skinny me

I had internal bleeding from one of the incisions. They had to do a emergency endoscopy to fix it. I lost a lot of blood and almost needed a blood transfusion. But after the repair I was fine. I left the hospital with only a 7.5 iron level but I'm at a 12 now.

I can't imagine keeping it from my boyfriend. He is my rock and the person who has been with me through it all. I did end up having complications with my surgery so it is important to tell your partner.

It's definitely life changing. I know I'm losing weight but I still can't imagine myself smaller than I ever been. Good luck to you.

I had my surgery 16 days ago. My family and close friends know but I didn't tell my coworkers. I didn't even tell them I was going on leave. I go back May 1st and I've already lost 24# so I know I'm gonna get questions. I'm not trying to keep it a secret I just don't know how to go about telling them.
