Body Wrap was an amazing experience! Tightens and nourishes the skin. Skin feels better and I dropped a few inches for sure. Total weight loss at 4 month is 53 pounds!!

Hi 2/9ers I miss you guys, it's been hectic on my end - have been traveling non stop for the last month

TxJP wow 65 pounds you are doing fantastic - I haven't been on the scale in a few weeks due to not having one at my fingertips but it's probably a good thing [emoji16]

Positive - glad to hear the wrap went well and congrats on the 53 pound loss [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

I have to agree with TxJP lose skin is no joke and is so yuck - I realized the depth of my lose skin last night in my midsection but hey it comes with the territory

I have been working out like a beast so hopefully it will snap in place, otherwise Tummy Tuck it will be, one day

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm on my second body wrap. Really helps with tightening the skin and moisture. I like the process a lot. I have one more in the package I purchased and will do that one the end of June.

I wanted to ask is anyone else having trouble eating? One day I could be great and drink lots of Water, Protein shakes, and eat without any issues. However lately I've noticed I can't eat as much or drink. I'm talking the smell or sight of food makes me nauseous and I just stay away from food that day. It's bothering me enough that I'm mentioning it so... Please let me know is anyone else is having similar inconsistencies with intake. Thanks in advance!

Positive - I'm glad that you're enjoying your wraps, I may have to try them

I struggle with food and fluids at times as well- sometimes I feel like I'm eating too much and others nothing is appealing and I can't eat - I figured it comes with the territory- how often is it happening to you?

Maybe 2-3 days a week my body and mind says no food! Other days I feel just fine. No longer vomiting, which is good...

It's just hard not having consistency I guess. Like I'm up now and my mouth is dry. The nurse shared that's a sign of dehydration from the day before. So now my focus today will be more Water intake. Knowing my body, more Water throughout the day is less food. A morning like this will result in a 500-700 calorie day, which also means I'll fall asleep before 10pm... No energy.

GNC has liquid B12 so I'm getting some today to help with energy. Food is the answer though, but I'm sure the extra B12 will help a bit.

Leaving in the morning for a cruise to Alaska! It will be interesting how my body responds to unlimited food for 7 days. Almost comical when I think about it LOL!

Positive have a safe and wonderful trip [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

The B12 should give you a boost, I take sublingual b12 daily

Dehydration is no joke but I think part of the problem is the whole no drinking and eating at the same time and having to wait

Let us know how your cruise is

Back from the cruise and still smiling! Worked out 5 days on the cruise and ate/tasted whatever I wanted. Lost 3 pounds and I think it's because I ate more. Now that I'm home it's time to figure out a healthy routine of eating to reach my goal of 10 more pounds.

Thank you It's Time!

Everything is going pretty well. I attended a conference today and received multiple compliments from strangers and others at the conference. Really interesting how I'm treated now that I'm considered thin.

How are you?

      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!!
