I leave for Tijuana (sp) on Monday, August 1st. Right now I'm trying to go two days on liquids. I've lasted about 3 hours, and all I wanna do is eat. This sucks. Anyone wanna talk?

COme on now- you can do it! You really truely can do it!! You need to definetly change your everyday routine & pronto. Thats what s hard. Start a scapebook project or yardwork or walk or reorganize something. Go through some junk & prepare for a garage sale. Find something to get yourself preoccupied without thinking of food.< /p>

My two full weeks of liquids was soooo stinking hard but I just keep thinking that I was shrinking my liver & it would help the surgeon to do a better procedure on me. Guess what it did! He said I had no fat around my liver & that the extra 7 pds I lost during those two weeks really helped. Be determined more today than yesterday & more focused tomorrow. Yes- I messed up two days during my liquid phase but I got right back on that horse & tamed it! You can do the same! Just think of all the extra weight you'll lose!

One other great think to pass time is paint - not arty paint but paint a room a whole new color!! Its a hard project & a time consumiong one- I hate painting rooms but once you start you have no choice but to finish it;0) Can't wait to hear of your success- You'll do just awesome-really!!!

Yup, room painting is a great time consumer! Of course, I love to paint rooms, love everything except the prep part. Oh, just a hint, TSP will eat your acrylic nails, so use gloves.

pack for your trip, then unpack and remove half the things you think will need. (I always overpack for everything...)

Pick up a new hobbie.

Sort your clothes by size, if you haven't done that already. You will soon be able to let your "fat" clothes go. You will soon need to find your "skinny" clothes you haven't worn in years.

This one I consider very important. Write yourself a very long letter. Examine why you are doing this, examine what head issues you have. Write what you are going through right now, what your day is like, huffing and puffing, difficulty doing things. Stuff like needing seatbelt extenders when you fly. Write all these things down so that you will know how far you have come on your journey. Give yourself sign posts, mile markers.

Take a before picture!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
