True. Though I was drinking carbonated beverages (in the form of sparkling water/Perrier) during weight loss phase with a couple drops of "water enhancers" I carry around in my purse everywhere I go. It was a good thing to nurse when everyone else was drinking/eating.

Everyone's team has different degrees of opinions on carbonated drinks as well, though. My team said to stay away because they felt carbonated drinks where too filling and I wouldn't be able to fill my stomach with actual food if I drank it. Also they said it could cause painful gas.

Again, I told them I was drinking it, and it wasn't causing me issues (in fact I liked the fact that it made me burp, helped clear out gas, LOL), and they were/are cool with it. I still drink it now, LOTS of it.

But again, check with your team and let them know whatever you decide...

Thanks!

Yes I’m designated driver too. I usually order from app menu or just side dish if it has Protein. Many times everyone pays for me to offset gas- don’t mean bodily gas as that is discussed a lot from Bariatric family!

A bottle of gas x would be a nice gesture from your drinking friends *laughing* How far out are you?

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaat???? Seriously?

First time in the years I’ve been at my gym to have this awkward moment *

Total stranger said he could help me lose my midsection. If he thought this was a pickup line, he was dead wrong. I posted about this in the rant section. My husband still thinks it's hilarious.

Congratulations, you are almost 3-months out. Sorry that you are dealing with asthma issues, Steroids are notorious for weight fluctuations, Right?

Keep plugging away the scale will move. *hugs*

Yes one reason I gained so much weight as was in oral steroids for better part of 3 years until could get asthma under controlled. Just surprised that gained so quickly sine **** was yesterday PM. Thanks for encouragement

I love that you obviously like spicy eats!

I also love some kick in my food, but I notice that have lost some of my tolerance for heat post op for some reason. Also, if I have too much I now get a bit of indigestion (didn't before ).

Has your tolerance changed at all post op? Or did it stay the same?

5 pounds in less than a month. I think my motivation is in a good place.

I had a guy in the gym tell me he could help me lose my midsection. (NOT a compliment) I love to prove people wrong. A bit of anger motivates me. My diet is more disciplined and I changed up my exercise.

My big motivation. New year’s gown.

Please, please, can we see you in it?!?!?!??!

I'm thinking 32g of Miralax may have been overly ambitious this morning...

Let's just say I think I found the secret to the mysterious involving slow downs on the #2 tracks up North. And I'm pretty certain Loch Ness might have also been sighted this morning.

And I'm 2.6lbs down but who's counting. Right?

Actually my tolerance for heat did go down PO. But I wasn't sure if it had to do with wls. It wouldn't seem so from my menu, but trust me I used to drown all my food in Frank's red hot Lol
