Anyone drink more when it's warm liquid? I think I can drink more if its hot or warm drinks. Lol.

I have noticed that I drink more Water when it is room temperature. Cold water doesn't bother me, but I like room temperature water better.

I don't know why my husband bought me a nice outfit in a size 3x. What is he trying to say. Maybe he hasn't noticed I lost 54 pounds. He brought it from a street vender on his way in off the road so it can't be returned. Wow

Lol I just asked about the term NSV on my fitness pal I didn't know what it meant either. Congrats on the pants it is a wonderful feeling when my 24s looked terrible and wouldn't stay up I went shopping too to my amazement I went to a 18 and then a week later I wish I would have tried the 16 so I put on a belt and today when I put them on ...I think I'm ready for a new pair again I def love the NSVs cause the scale hasn't been giving me much love. On another note does anyone know how many mcg of Biotin you are supposed to take daily to help with Hair loss?

I don't know, I've told Dr that I take 10,000mcg

I do have to say with the most painful surgery I've had to date' date=' that's those of you with husbands who take care of you are so blessed. My husband is a selfish a@@ but I wished he were taking care of me right now. Being sick and lonely has to be the worse combination :'-( I didn't even want him here w RNY, but do now.

It's definitely hard to be alone when you're sick. But you don't need that loser to make things worse! You are strong and you can get through this all by yourself ( but don't forget we're here for you Gen) (((hugs)))

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
