Alcohol
Sugar free crystal light is a good idea haha I drink white Russians and bloody Mary's. It's the only thing my stomach has zero issues with. I'm 5 months, I had my first drink after 2 months. Definitely Google drink ideas. The sugar wasnt a huge concern for me because theres more in fruit so I just picked what tasted good and didnt change how I felt. Side note. I get buzzed slower... but then suddenly just drunk fast. It's so weird. I'll feel nothing ...nothing....nothing. bam! Drunk lol careful. Also never ever drive. Ever. Goodluck. I miss champagne so bad. But not bad enough to try it. Carbonation is awful for our tummies Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Six months post-op+ : The Sophomores Thread
I'm in a super stall and it's so sad over a month and the scale goes up and down 2 pounds lol I'm at 5 months started at 265 I'm stuck between 212 and 214 I so badly want to see 199 lol I was a size 22 pants I'm now a 14 so I'm happy. But totally feeling the same way. My sister said "eat more" drink more water and start walking or being active. Eating more never sounds appealing I was thinking about doing a 3 day shakes only reset? I dont know. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Has anyone tried Orange theory?
I was scared because correct me if I'm wrong. Seriously please do. I'm 4 months post op. 5'3 265 pre op today I'm 215 down 50 in under 4 months. Wahoo! I haven't started hitting the gym yet because I own my own cleaning company and I am constantly moving and doing a lot of manual labor so I feel pretty exhausted for the most part. Early mornings, long days & sometimes nights. But regardless of that part. My biggest fear was burning way more than I eat. Is it true it's not healthy for me to burn so much more than I eat? Plus I burn alot at work? My client is begging me to join orange theory. My soul wants to. I'm scared. I like what Jon said about needing someone to just tell you what to do.
