    bellamabella got a reaction from TrailriderJulia in Do you do it ? the X word . EXERCISE !   
    i got approved to workout one month post op. but between trying to find the right gym, learning about additional supplements ( gotta love those BCAAs...especially for muscle recovery) i finally joined one.
    i'm currently 2 months post op and i switch it up between cardio and light weights. im down 40lbs as of today. i don't mind losing slow and steady because no matter what im still losing

    bellamabella reacted to matt1912 in Am I alone on this?   
    I am 9 wks post op, in restaurants I find my self watching other people eat. It has become disgusting to watch- it's one part the amount they are eating and another part the speed in which they eat.
    For the record, I whole heartedly admit I was one of those people a short time ago. However, now I know how less food I need and how great I feel 82 lbs down and much better off.
    I just find it a little hypocritical that I am feeling this. Anyone else feel like this?

    bellamabella got a reaction from KeeWee in Ok so what's more important, the water intake, vitamin intake or the protein consumption?   
    get liquid Vitamins that you can mix in your Water ( that is what i have done). They are all equally as important.
    keep in mind that the majority of post op hair loss is due to lack of Vitamins. so try not to ignore them.
    30oz of Water is better than no oz.
    and if im not mistaken...protein drinks count as your daily Fluid intake. you need Protein. find a powder or premade one that you like and stick with it.
    or get an unflavored powder and mix it in everything.
    hope this helps

    I would not consider your friend a success...sorry..She is not using it as a tool. And it will catch up with her if she does not change her thinking.
    All three of the issues you mention are as important as the other when you are in the losing stage. It will get easier. I know for me at first I felt like I was doing this stuff all day long. Now it is natural for me and all runs smoothly. It will happen for you as well.
    Your going forward and using this sleeve as a tool and figuring out it will work best for you. There is nothing in life for free that is worth having. You are going to be so proud of yourself when you make the changes you need to make so that you can live a happier healthier life...Your friend is playing with fire. She is messing with her system that works when you follow the program and can cause future problems if you don't!
    All the best to you!
