It's not as fast as I thought it would be, but being a revision patient I was told it would be slower. Plus I really can't complain about 40lbs in 12 weeks!

My appetite seems to have returned this week too! I love how every time I check this thread you fabulous people affirm what I'm going through. It's not just me!

Confession: both my kids are sick so no gym yet but I will!! I really will!

And odd question: is anyone else's bones cracking and doing weird things? Lol I wake up in the morning and it's like snap crackle and pop and it's not my cereal, it's me!

@60&goin4fit.... thank you for the support.. Really thank all of you for the support.

You can do it! Get in the gym! It becomes routine after a few days!

So since my gym membership, I've only missed 2 days out of 6 days. Lol the weekend was killer.

I fell off the wagon this week with my friend visiting. Gained 3.8 pounds! And I feel like crap! Tired. My face is breaking out. I mean wow.

But my friend left and I'm back on it.

I meet with a personal trainer today (came with my gym membership) to see where I need to be as far as goals and working out goes.

Thank you!

I do feel amazing! (As long as I get all my Protein in, man can I feel it if I dont)

I've been killing it at the gym lately. It is starting to feel good going, vs painful. Slowly but surely.

Hi all! Oct 14 surgery here (stats: 234 sw/186 cw).

I'm wondering what everyone is eating these days. Looking for quick and easy snack and meal ideas. TIA

I had surgery Oct 14 as well! (276 to 213)

On a normal day

Breakfast: half light Yoplait vanilla yogurt (with unflavored Protein powder) with a few frozen blue berries and strawberries (basically coated fruit) then I sprinkle with Fiber and protein enriched granola

Lunch: fresh veggies with plain Greek yogurt ranch mix (Yogurt and ranch season packet), turkey lunch meat and cheese roll ups (maybe 2)

Dinner: any normal meal with healthy alternatives.. cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, cauliflower mashed potatoes, brocolli slaw noodles, zoodles, ground turkey, etc

Snack: frozen fruit, regular fruit, veggies and dip, hard boiled eggs, peanuts, almonds, air popped popcorn, homemade goldfish/cheese its, homemade granola bars sweeten with honey, pretzels, sugar free popcicles, sugar free italian ice

And my treat is coffee. Haha

Don't get me wrong, I've slipped and had a few not so good items but very very very seldom.

Good ideas, @woahbabyy!
