Try Oikos Triple Zero yogurt— has 15 g of protein and no sugar Also string cheese and turkey jerky are great snacks

First time posting here— didn’t really understand what the thread was about and thought it was for people who had college age students who came home for holidays (haha!) I’m just over a year out (dec 20). I’m in maintenance and navigating all that goes with it- slipped into not tracking so trying to get back into that habit! A side topic—- anyone have any advice to firm up neck area?!?! Ugh

Sugar free popsicles are my go to for sweet. There are also sugar free chocolates but those are def a slippery slope ?? Good luck

Walk and sip... repeat :) Gas pains are temporary and walking a lot helps You’ll do great ??

Around day 5 the gas pains subside— hang in there

I lost 107 lbs in about 10 months. It’s possible :)

Yes! Best decision ever made and allowed me to make changes to live healthier. It was a year yesterday and I am eternally grateful to have made the decision and continue to follow what I need to

Have you tried the ready to drink premiere ? They’re pretty good

Nice job!

Congrats!

Same here. I’ve been wearing mine on my middle finger. Now that my weight has stabilized for last 4 months- I think I’m done losing so I’ll go check out the ring band that makes them tighter. Don’t know of I want to have them resized just yet

Smooth move tea works in a few hours.

Those are soft foods not liquid. Depends on your dr.... I didn’t have to do a liquid diet for more than a day or two and went to sifts as tolerated . Others are on it for a month. I’d ask your team

Rny was amazing... you’ll do great!

I did it too.... amazing

I had mine over winter break (teacher) so 10 days including weekends . Just be careful to not lift anything too heavy Wasnt about pain at all past day 3 or 4 (gas pain only) ... was about learning and getting routines around eating and hydrating

I had my rny at BMC too!

Woot!! Nice job!! You look amazingly happy!

Congrats- way to go!

Oh wow. Sorry you’re experiencing that. On the carb front can they be “healthy carbs” like chick peas or beans? I often hear carbs as breads and potatoes etc so trying to hear things a bit differently around them and shifting to healthier versions. I also wonder if the sugar has to be candy? What about one of those honey sticks? Or fruit? Don’t know much about it but wanted to show support for you. I’m sorry you’re going through this

Keep doing you! You’re following your plan and she well,... isn’t. If she isn’t making lifestyle changes now it’ll eventually catch up with her. Congrats to you for making the healthier lifestyle decisions Don’t be jealous of her- she will lead to a bad place she will regret Congrats!

ALWAYS cold ! Like painfully cold lol. I live with multiple blankets at night with a heated mattress pad too. At work I have a space heater :) It’s worth it :)

Like others- Just regret not doing it sooner . The first month was tough physically and emotionally though! I hope things gets better for you

Congrats! Walking ALOT helps the gas and incision pain

For proteins ...I’m addicted to dried seasoned chick peas !! And turkey jerky. Also try oikos triple zero yogurts for protein too!
