  1. I love milestone targets! Helps me gauge my progress to the end goal with small victories to keep me motivated!
  2. I had the same issue. I now use the Patch MD multivitamin patch. Just had bloodwork and the only thing that was slightly low was my iron. I ordered straight off their website.
  3. Get up and walk as soon as you can after surgery and do it often. It will help with the gas pain. Good Luck!
  4. Biotene dry mouth spray...it helped a lot! And after surgery, get up and walk as much as you can. It helps the gas pain tremendously! Good Luck! ?
  5. Good Luck!! Cannot wait to see after pictures! ?
  6. 1st milestone reached!! Officially under 30BMI!!! Yes, its only .1 under at 29.9...but I'll take it! Next milestone is to have lost more than I have to lose. 4 more pounds and I'll hit that milestone! ?
  7. Hang in there! I promise it gets better! ?
  8. How are you feeling? Hope you are not in too much pain and able to get up and move around.
  9. So sorry for all your heartache the past year. You persevered! And now on the journey to your new life! Congrats!!
  10. Not sure why, maybe due to not consuming sugar or so few carbs so far...but I have no body odor. Have not wore deodorant since day before surgery. ☺️
  11. Good Luck Everyone on surgery today! Remember...get up and walk as soon as you can! It will help the gas pain!
  12. Hang in there! Promise it gets better! Do you have a heating pad? I laid on one and it seemed to help whatever soreness/stiffness I was having. You got this!
  13. Good Luck with your surgery tomorrow! Sending good vibes your way as you continue on your journey! ?
  14. My starting BMI was 36.7. I will be very happy when I am under 30. ?
  15. Working in project management for a global company, I create and manage project schedules with major and minor milestones. While going thru this process, I wanted to create a milestone schedule for my "project", Me! I am coming up on my first major milestone, that I set for the first 30 days since surgery. BMI under 30. As of today, my BMI is 30.3 and I am 3 days from 1 month post op. I may not meet the 30 day milestone date, but only two more pounds and I will reach my 1st BMI milestone. This is a big deal for me, as I have not been under 30 BMI in over 15 years. What is/was your 1st major milestone? ?
  16. Awesome of you to share! Love reading about people's journeys! ?
  17. Congratulations!
  18. Oh my goodness! You are gorgeous!! ???
  19. Wow! You look so happy and fit! Congrats!
  20. I had the same issue. My nutritionist suggested I chew each bite at least 20 times and put my fork/spoon down between bites...which was hard when I was just eating yogurt, but now that I am on soft vegs/fish, I am trying to do this. It has helped. Good Luck!
