Wanted to clean my whole apartment. Got my pantry and most of my kitchen done and my belly feels like I did a million sit ups. I still have so much to do. Ugh!

Yes I am. I can't stand them but I do take them every day... I feel like they make up a meal on their own. Lol

I took RJ's advice and broke up my morning Protein Shake into two and I've added a third for when I'm driving home from work in the morning. So I'm getting a minimum of 65g just from shakes. I was also only eating once a day and have been trying to make it twice a day plus three shakes and 2 or 3 just water/hydration breaks while at work. Moral of the story..lol upped my Protein and Water and I feel better! Thanks everyone for the advice.

I am only allowing myself to weigh once a week. For the Friday weigh in thread. That's it. It's hard but I don't want to be taunted with the numbers game. I'm really struggling with exercise. It's 100+ degrees so I haven't been walking my babies. I have a treadmill that got buried by my ex during my surgery. Must find another way to work out!

Find a mall, they are air conditioned and lots of walking , for no charge

June 24 here! I was in the hospital for 6 days due to staph infected hematomas. I had three and my surgeon had never seen anyone with more than one! I'm still on strong antibiotics, but already on regular food. I had nothing in the hospital so I guess my pouch healed quicker. I was doing really well with food until today. I ate something stupid (Pop Chips) and am pretty sure I'm having my first case of dumping. It's mild - mainly just nausea and rapid heart rate.

I have most of my problems with liquids. Before surgery, I loved Water, Vitamin Water, Crystal Light...now I can't drink any of it. The only liquid I can drink that doesn't make me nauseous is tea! Weird!

Anyway, though I had some complications and am sick as a dog right now :), this is the best decision of my life. I've lost 27 lbs since I left the hospital and other than today, some off and on nausea, and pain from my incisions, I feel great. Well worth it. :)

I too think I hit a stall. I am 2 weeks so I think it is pretty normal so I am not stressing too much. It is hard for me to tell though because I am traveling and away from my scale.

I found Healthy Choice fudge pops at costco. They are delish!! They have 100 calories, 1.5 fat, 4 Protein and 16 carbs. That's 3 over what my NUT wants me to have, but they have 5 Fiber, and only 5 actual sugars, so I am going with it and being thankful that they have 4 protein!

Went for my 4 week follow up appt today. Down 24 pounds which is great but I've only lost 4 in the past 2 weeks. Why is it we have to beat ourselves up so much? Surgeon is happy but we're watching for stricture because I seem to have solid food "catch" too often, or maybe I'm eating too fast even though I don't think I am. HW 247.5, CW 221.

      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!!
