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

Okay I had a NSV today. My size 24w jeans are way way too big. So I went to get another pair same brand (gloria Vanderbilt). I took 22's and 20's into dressing room. The 22's fit. The waist was a teeny bit loose. I put the 20's on and they fit like a glove. I was doing the happy dance, I couldn't believe it. What a great feeling. A great ending to an awesome day!

Oh my gosh and hour & 45 mins! woah baby!! haha. I think I'm going to try 30 mins cardio (treadmill) and 30 mins weights.

A couple years ago I was in an Aerobics class that did a mixture f Turbo Kick' date=' Zumba, and Step exercises and I love it, but the gym I belong to (Planet Fitness) doesn't offer group classes so it's all on me now to make sure I do it right!

Best of luck with a speedy recovery, Gen! You'll get back on that treadmill soon enough [/quote']

Sounds like we have the same work out plan. I also go to planet fitness. They hold group classes of 5. Haven't tried it yet

Congrts. Don't buy too much right now.

RNY friends- I have to share a fun new food product I stumbled on today! They're called Coco Pop Cakes, and they're so yummy! They're like a rice cake, sort of, but they're airy and flavorful. They have pretty much no nutritional value (1g protein, 4g carbs, 0g fat each) but they provide an excellent crunch & they're a good vehicle for spreading on laughing cow cheese (of FF cream cheese), fruit preserves, or plain. On their website www.cocofoods.com you can find where they're sold and there are recipe ideas. You can buy online too, but in bulk. I hope you're all abe to find these because they are wonderful for when you need bread or crunch, but they dissolve like a cheeto without the guilt!

I only bought one pair! My 24's looked ridiculous on me. Lol

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 am so discouraged today! I will be 8 weeks post op on Monday and the scale never moves! I have only lost 37 lbs and only 9 lbs in the last month. I'm exercising daily and have a personal trainer. I eat or drink 60-70 g of protein daily and always healthy options. I just don't understand how I can go from eating a lot of food that was seriously not healthy and never exercising to how I am now and the weight stays on!! I seriously feel defeated like I have every single other time I have failed at this weight loss thing...I just want to cry. Please...anyone...I need some advice or something today...nobody in my life truly gets what this is like but you all do...

Keep doing what your doing....you often lose inches when the weight slows down.9 lbs a month is over 100lbs in a year. Keep the faith.

I read on here 5000 mcg. I haven't started taken it yet as doctor just released me to stop crushing meds! Hooray! So I will go to Walmart today to buy some.
