I would like to join. I'm roughly 18 months PO and was down 86 lbs before a 15 lb regain, these last 2 semesters of school have been rough. My goals for May are to lose 8 lbs of my regain (2 lbs per week), get active again and comfortably fit into a smaller size of scrubs (currently in a large and putting on mediums feels like Im going to be trapped forever lol!). That last one might be stretch but we'll see what happens πŸ˜‰

I would love to join this but I am due for surgery on the 6th for my bypass. I am right now on a liquid diet. So there is no food besides the Soups, Protein Shakes, sf puddings, sf Jello, and greek yogurt going in right now. I just want to get past my surgery and heal completely before the beach days with my sons. I want to be able to get in that ocean Water as well

I'm going to sign up again, and hopefully I will do better in May than I did in April. *sigh*

I'm currently pre-op, although my surgery is on May 16th. I know I won't be doing much in the way of activity (certainly not push ups) in the last couple of weeks of the month, but my goals for May are:

  • lose another 5 lb before surgery (currently 245.6) by being very strict with my pre-op diet
  • hit 12000 steps every day before surgery, and to walk at least 10 minutes 3x per day after surgery (more hopefully)
  • finish prep for my family for post-op (finish spring cleaning and making freezer meals for them for the first 2 weeks)
  • keep a positive outlook during and after surgery, and to be kind to myself.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall overΒ (Β weeble wobble).Β 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making likeΒ ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder.Β 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. πŸ˜ƒ

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🀒).
