Avery's Mom

I am averaging 3lbs a week. I am ok with that. I figure slow and steady is going to give my skin time to catch up, as I was already seeing some sagging stuff I did not like lol

Did you like the therapist you saw prior to surgery? If so go back to see them. That is who I have seen. I too have a very emotional connection to food.

YES! that too! I can feel my butt bones on the chair now at the dinner table LOL not necessarily the tailbone but in each cheek. I have slept with a pillow between my knees for years due to lower back issues but now I need more padding between the knees LOL

please share

well no stranger than me using my son's budreux's butt cream for diaper rash LOL

I can Cross my legs! I sat down to have a chat with a friend yesterday and just did it out of habit, like I used to.....and low and behold...I did it! It's the little things.

I have 13...hmmm maybe new ink is in order lol

I have yet to fell actual hunger. cravings? HELL YES. but not actual hunger.

LOL me too @crunchy veggies lol especially green beans, I am from the south where we cook them ALL day lol

I immediately put at least half of what I order in a to go box. stick to apps or soups you can 'linger' over. it is about the fellowship of the meal to me and not the consumption of the food.

as long as I get enough protein mine is good. My hair is really thick and curly so that helps. I hardly ever she dos I will notice immediately is it starts! *taking notes*

I use vitamin e oil or bio oil as well. takes a bit but they are fading.

north central, Pinellas co.

I have that to clear it up. id like to prevent it lol Antiperspirant does not do the trick either.

Ok this topic is mostly for the ladies but I suppose the guys may have this issue as well. I live in sunny HUMID Florida. I seem to be struggling with constant moisture under the boobs, and in the groin area, resulting in rash/fungus/yeast....whatever you want to call it. I am the Queen of Gold Bond powder but it is not always enough. What is anyone else using that helps with this?

I put a tsp of miralax in my protein every other day. keeps me moving!

I am doing 30 mins cardio and 30 mins strength training on alt days. 7 days a week right now. all low impact. some yoga few days when I can fit it in. want to get back to running. waiting on time to change back so it is not dark when I get up.

I go according to weight as well for protein. then I add veggies, etc. as long as I eat my protein first I eat until I'm full of whatever else.

right? I loved that when I first moved here. Now I kinda wish they did LOL What part of Florida are you in?

emotions are high but that is normal. If you are like me this was a long journey. as to the BM issue please talk to your doc! I am taking Miralax every other day to keep things moving as I am not able to drink as much water as I used to.

Doc released me for cardio at 4 weeks, the told me I could resume strength training at 6 weeks. weights, biking, etc. everybody is different thought. listen to your body!

LOL I too am looking forward to those!

late getting started but I want to play! surgery date 12/11/18 starting weight 317 current weight 281 5'10" tall I'm gonna try the spell your name routine! NO ICE CREAM is brutal lol

remember all liquid counts. I too felt bad about not getting in my water BUT my doc pointed out that two protein shakes a day added 20 oz to my intake I was not considering. slow and steady is the way. I too was a glug glug glug kinda girl all day. I work in customer service and spend a lot of time on the phone. talking is thirsty work!

Sorry to hear this. it can be come an obsession. I am glad you are getting help!
