OMG!!!I said the same words after surg! No one said it would be easy. Fool4dance said it well. And once you see that needle on that scale start to drop it’s all worth it!!! I used to listen to that Starving pain and noisy stomach of mine but now its just noise to me. Don’t worry everything will fall into place. Do lots of walking that should help the gases.Best of luck on your journey and keep us posted

Very happy to hear you’re doing much better today. I also had that chest and shoulder pain. For awhile I was convinced that other parts of my body where removed LOL. But that wasn’t true I called the office and they told me it was gases from the surgery. I started to walk more and more and sure enough the pain faded.Best of Luck and God bless.

So true Janet, How little things like being able to sit in a booth, "MOVIE SEAT" my biggest depression. Make such a big different in your life, at least for me it has. I would get so down on myself when I couldn’t sit comfortable at the theaters with my kids or always ask for a table with chairs "NO BOOTH PLEASE" at the restaurant This life change has made such a difference in my life already Their is no turning back.Your awesome Janet!!! God Bless

OMG!!! that's too funny.. elephant sitting on you is soooooo right!!Just dont EVEN try that when you get your fill.I still test myself from time to time and the funny thing is my boys could tell when I need to hit the restroom. Love the "FAT GIRL MOMENT" have those too..

Post that Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Medley..would love to try that.Best of luck

Yup had the same prob with a small cold I had. Not able to eat much so went back to mushie and liquids.You might want to cut back on your exercise since you are not giving your body enough food to burn you maybe heading into starvation mode.making it harder for you to lose weight. Or you may want to up your protien maybe a shake that may help. and last but not least SLOW and STEADY will get you better results...Best of luck

Would luv to see the plans..Yea!! ur better off staying in the lower green.I had my fill on 7/6 and im at my sweetspot, but somedays it a little too much.So try to work with wut you got for now. best of luck!!

Seanamw is right, try drinking more protien shakes f you have to.also try not to drink water for at least 1hr after your meal if you can it helps you stay full for about an hr or more. thats if your on mushie..also try chicken salad, tuna salad.Best of luck!!
