I just added @greentealael and am hoping to join the challenge even though I'm late to the party! Hoping to help myself get back to tracking because I've been less disciplined lately both in terms of food and hydration. Thanks for setting this up, I've never done a MFP challenge before!

Although I have yet to accomplish our daily goal, I am more focused on trying. Perhaps today is my day!

Dumb question that was maybe already asked - is there a way to "join" the community forum or do we just bookmark it to see it on MFP?

Thanks!

You only need to book mark it to find it easier. Hope that helps!

Struggling quite a bit over here. Even 64 oz of plain Water has been a reach for me. It's mostly a mental struggle. Pre surgery, I used to take in about 98 oz a day. I like to chug water through. This sip sip sip thing annoys me. I always wind up getting distracted and not drinking for a couple hours here and there which really limits the amount of water I can take in. Tomorrow is going to be a long day though, so I'm going to start drinking early in the morning and set reminders on my phone! The more hours I am up, the more hours i have to drink lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
