    Hello everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been able to work out for at least 2 months because I had foot surgery and I'm really struggling with my Fluid and Protein. And I hate the constipation. Bu

  • I go first tomorrow. 6:15 check in and 8 am surgery! By lunch time tomorrow I should be up and moving. So many thoughts are going through my head. But as my husband sleeps next to me I know I want all

I'm using Skin Firming and Toning Gel-Cream by Nivea on my thighs, tummy, and arms to help with loose skin. Just wanted to share. Have a great Monday!!

Congrats to everyone! I'm down 51 lbs. Still haven't met my water intake but this weekend I almost did! I bought a bike. It gets easier every single day! I played tennis for first time in years it felt great. I still have the same usual issues with food. I try to slow down before bites or else it doesn't stay down. ;) Glad to hear everyone doing so well!

Positive the water intake will get better, I did worse today than yesterday and only got in about 40 oz [emoji107] I will try again tomorrow

Congrats TxJP 51 pounds wow that's a great number - also yayyyy on the bicycle and tennis, it's a wonderful thing to do things that we enjoy with ease - curious about your food, are you doing anything in particular?

Congrats on the 51 pounds. That is awesome!! Keep it up.

Positive let us know how it works

I almost hit my water goal yesterday, and would be at goal if we can include wine lol - I got in about 50 oz grrrr

Will do.

I'm stopped forcing protein drinks down. I tried protein water, works better for me. As far a food is concerned I try to eat my protein slowly. I stick to the basics, yogurt, apple sauce, green veggies. I still don't feel like eating most days. I recently found these protein lunchables that have turkey, cheese, and almonds. I eat those a lot, very satisfying and perfect portion.[emoji6]

Hi everyone, you all rock!!

My coworkers commented on my weight loss today. It is nice that others notice, but then comes the questions.

How is everyone doing on their water?

Hi slimtrimshel - yayyyy to others noticing your progress [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] it's funny sometimes I like when it's noticed other times I don't. My water intake today is at about 40 oz but I will get in another 24 before the end of the night (at least that's the plan )

Oh what have you been telling people when they ask questions?

Getting sleeved on May 9. Slowly starting preop diet. Haven't been perfect. My "cheat" last night was a serving of sugar-free chocolate pudding. Oh well. Today my stomach is gurgling like crazy. And it's not hunger.

Did your tummy begin crazy noisy gurgling on the pre-op diet too?

Normally your stomach will growl when it's hungry with or without surgery. May 9th is right around the corner. Good luck to you!

Good Morning Everyone,

Since the surgery and weight loss, I've been concerned with loose skin. Yesterday, I started using full weights at the gym and I'm extremely sore this morning. I only lifted on my upper body, but had no idea how weak my upper body had become!! Today, I will lift on the lower body and contribute to alternate. For motivation I've placed a picture of myself at my highest weight on my bathroom mirror as a reminder of what I never want to look like again.

Also, I'm really working on the Water intake. I must figure that out to continue to flush bad toxins and fat out of my body through my urine. Since food is staying with me more and I'm learning my new body. I'm now able to develop realistic goals and attainable plans. Wish me luck!!
