Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 28. I'm a slow loser but 9 to lose to onederland. If it weren't for the stall' date=' I would have hit it before next surgery, Jan 31. That was my goal. But oh well, need a new goal now.

Congrats! Keep smiling!!

Found this at the store. It's like a flavored water but better. Only 1 gram of sugar and 10 cal. It taste so good. Anyone else drink these? Good morning friends

Great find sammi! I would have never thought of fuze. Figured they had too much sugar. Is it like water or juice? I have only had the peach/mango kind. Well before wls anyways.

Hmm I think it taste like juice! Also I have a question I really want grape juice. It has sugar but if I get a no added sugar 100% juice is that sugar okay? Fruit just has sugar in it.... Thoughts? Does anyone drink juice?

My nut said only drink juice occasionally because you don't want to drink all your calories. I can tolerate the sugar in juice but some can not. My nut also suggested doing 1/2 Water and 1/2 juice to dilute it a bit and cut the calories. I still do that sometimes because some juices are really sweet to me!

Thanks. Good idea half and half

Same here I haven't tried juice because of the sugar but my nut said 100% juice no added sugar and water it down.

Gen that is not going to happen. You did remarkable with this surgery I would expect no less from you with this other surgery. I apologize for giving information that has given you doubts.

My stall broke' date=' finally. Yesterday I added weight lifting at the gym so maybe that did it.not doing anything ab wise. Need to wait for that.

Yeah!!!!

Another post-op visit with Dr. Lahmann today. Can't wait to weigh! I try and wear very similar clothes each time so my weight is pretty accurate. Meeting up with friends at a restaurant afterwards for a birthday celebration. I think it will be a little overwhelming for me. Food and drinks---- wasn't sure intially if I wanted to go...! First time out with friends since surgery.

I have had unsweetened apple juice and done well. I am having trouble expanding my diet from cheese, eggs, refried beans and yogurt. I am hesitant to explore for fear of puking. I am down 40 pounds since Dec. 17 surgery date. My husband said I look like a clown in my clothes so I went shopping today. I now own yoga pants! Never fit before.
