You have to go on the computer. Log in. Click on exercises, click settings, there you will be able to select what you want to be counted. I hope that helps:-)

I'm not crushing, did once and dumped. Never again since. If it aspirin size you can take it without crushing.

I have never crushed my meds, take one at a time, have talked to pcp about switching what I could and take minis where I can, chewable, otherwise they do cause a stomach ache and I have been dealing with it, luckily no dumping or other complications crossing my fingers, but so many pills suck!

I'm 6 wks out and I crush twice a day. I've heard too many stories of pills getting stuck so I've decided to keep crushing til they take me off of the meds. Vites are small enough but some others are huge. Just easier to do them all, plus I mix them in my tea so it helps with liquids too.

I have to chew my loratabs. Nasty as all get out but you get use too it. My synthroid and diovan are small enough to swollow and I am still on chewable vitamins. I know the Biotin I haven't taken in awhile because it seemed to always get stuck. Guess I should try again seeing as my hair is thinner slightly

Well it seems I've hit a stall :-( probably just my stubborn body not caring for all the workout and low cals. I swear before, all I had to do was look at food to gain (seriously), that is how stubborn and resistant my body is on weight loss. Ridiculous. But put me on the bench of stallers, lol, and off the losers bench for now, lol

      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!!
