Along with everyone's suggestions...I reccomend getting what's called "a squatty potty " I have one and it helps tremendously! https://www.amazon.com/Squatty-Potty-Original-Bathroom-Toilet/dp/B00ESKVN7W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=1KZW068HC90OT&keywords=sqattie+potty&qid=1553982129&s=gateway&sprefix=sqatt&sr=8-2

Smooth Move tea

Next step, suppositories, enemas and the Evil Cherry'tasting Milk of Magnesia. After that the Emergency Department and some of those people got big hands and thick fingers , Yeeouch! May the poo💩 be with you soon and then on his merry little way!

GTL SUMMER 2019 LOOKBOOK

We've got a thread for inspiration, I wanted to start one to keep us laughing! Feel free to add anything that makes your heart smile!

I would like to thank everyone for help me find exercise I can do and my bed, today I did my first exercise in bed and I feel little bit better hope one day I can work up not exercise in bed

I have so many non-scale victories--which is fortunate since I only lost 3.5 pounds in the past month. I am, however, only 17 pounds from my goal weight (maybe I should just change my goal??). So, my non scale victories are as follows:
1. I went from wearing size 44 pants on December 1 to now wearing 32 pants!
2. One of the other kid's mom at my daughter's nursery that I used to talk to all the time saw me this past weekend and introduced herself as if she had never talked to me before. She didn't recognize me!!
4. I had to buy slim fit shirts and suits because standard fit is too loose around my waist.
5. My wife says I am not snoring anymore!!
6. I am no longer taking medication for T2DM, high blood pressure or high triglycerides,
7. My surgeon asked me if I would be willing to be in advertisement where I show my before and after and talk about how bariatric surgery changed my life (haven't decided if I want to do that though).
8. Most importantly, I feel great. I have loads of energy and I am not embarrassed of my appearance or being the fat guy in the room. I am actually looking forward to wearing a bathing suit this summer!! I feel like i didn't just lose weight, but like I turned the clock back 15 years.
Even if I don't lose another pound, I am thrilled with the results. My only regret is not having had the surgery sooner.

Four and a half months out from surgery... This morning, I noticed something weird above my thigh getting out of the shower. Kind of a lump, it looked like.
I was worried for a minute then I noticed it was on the other side, too. It was my hip bone. It has never been visible before in my entire adult life.

I noticed that if I don't time my intake (pureed foods, Protein and water) at an hourly/bihourly rate, I do feel hunger. Try timing your intake and maybe that can help. Make sure each hour something is going into the stomach.

I hope this helps.

Try intermittent fasting. Lots of people I know lost weight doing it.

Your iPhone might already have one simply called Health. I have it on my phone but don't remember specifically loading it. The icon is a white square with a red heart in the upper right corner. Within the app is Health Data and from there you can go to Heart and log blood pressure. In Results there is an area for glucose and oxygen saturation.

In an effort to embrace reality and with a healthy dose of encouragement from “Shrill”, I decided I’m wearing a bikini this summer. stretch marks, scars, loose skin and all. All of these bathing suits are at Target. I bought the red one in a smaller size.
STATS: I’m 202lbs. I’m 7 months post gastric bypass and I’ve lost 119 lbs. My goal weight is 145. Yes, I plan to have plastic surgery down the road but that won’t fix my brain so I’ve been working on that for now.
Don’t leave me hanging -- PLEASE POST YOUR BATHING SUIT OPTIONS FOR SUMMER!

I was told to lose 15 lbs, which I did, and then be on a liquid 2 days pre-op.

I've been sleeping propped up with pillows all over to get my nightly rest.

More important to find a good man that treats you well and likes you at whatever size you are. That size is going to change rapidly.
Something to think about.....
Will you be attracted to the same type of men? Will your preferences in men change as you lose weight? What type of men will you have things in common with once you are 148?

Quit watching 600lb Life. LOL. Very few peeps lose 50lbs per month. ROFL! Most will average 8-10lbs per month over time. That's still 100-120lbs per year.

Just gotta announce that since 2017 I went from a 48H to a 46D (breast reduction) and now 5 months post-op I am a 42C. I HAVE NOT BEEN A C CUP SINCE I WAS 11 YEARS OLD. IT IS AMAZING. BACK PAIN IS ASSUREDLY GONE FOREVER! I wanted a B cup with the reduction but apparently you don't get to choose like you do with implants, which is totally not cool. I hope they get even smaller! I had SO much pain as an H cup, I would not mind to have zero boobies. I can't wait for the band size to shrink even more - probably already need a 40.
no bra nation.

I was warned about the gas on the day of the pre-op visit and they told to walk around to avoid it. I'm 8 days post op now and I learned that if I move and keep sipping liquids during regular intervals it helps not get gassy.
