Cardio only! I was back to work Tuesday after a Friday surgery. But no weights be careful lifting kiddos.

I was much like you no issues BUT did not even think of doing carbs that early on. Becareful it is a slippery slope bringing carbs in that early. The less the better no matter how little. I was a...

I like premier prior to surgery or some unjury however after surgery could not do them without having blowouts. So stopped them all together but a year out figured I need to try them again for a jump...

So good to hear from you!!! Skin....yeah welll ...same boat.

As far as skin....it is not too bad. BUT on my 3 month follow up with doc he suggested I had 8 pounds of excess stomach skin. Now I am sure it is more. I hide it will with control underwear and...

Yes I had the same thing, heating pad seemed to help.

One year ago today was in hospital hoping I had made the right decision.....happy to report I did. I have had slow but steady weight loss and still have 39 pounds to reach goal. There are things I...

Your weight is always going to vary 0-5 pounds that is why most say you should not weigh daily but weekly or monthly. It is hard but keep in mind water weight, salt, PMS and other things.

Abdominal binder really helps when sleeping especially if side sleeper. I was able to sleep on my side with pillows right away. It was harder to get out of the hospital bed because it was so low...

PS looks like we had surgery at same weight. If you go to ww.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wktSten it shows you my chart of how it progressed for me. I was lucky and did not have "stalls" like so...

It is still very very early! Oatmeal has no protein or are you putting powder in it? Just worry about water and protien for now. If you had a hernia fixed at same time that is what is causing the...

500-800 is hardly enough for a life time?? How many grams of protein are you getting daily? I still dont really count calories but still try to reach the grams first. Yes, it is a shock when it...

i have not found one I liked post op or can handle. There were SEVERAL of the above brands and more that were great prior.

Finally made it to the 100# lost club not another 50 to go..................

I eat full fat cheese almost everyday normally two squares has 5 grams of protein so that is how I inch it up since I for whatever reason can get shakes down no matter what brand of flavor since...

Can no drinkk straight water since sugery, it hurts to drink it. I drink G2 or Powerade Zerzo. But while staying at a hotel in the lobby they had two big pictures of infused water. One was...

Still losing at a steady pace but I do notice it starting to slow. =( Perhaps because of increased carbs and a cheat here and there but just wanted to post so newbies take full advantage of the first...

Keep it up!

Get checked for hernia then insurance will pay to fix that an add on the WLS part as cash pay

Way to go!

I love it and started it about 3 weeks after...I now order "rolls" with "easy rice" and really cant finish a roll but i also get a few slices of peppered tuna.....right after surgery that was the...

It is gas I had the same issues but was a little more out then you at the time it lasted over a week. A heating pad really helped.

Doing well. Glad to see all the check ins! It has been slow but in the right direction so I am ok with slow. Only thing I really sometimes miss is being able to eat a sandwich for lunch, still stay...

Had same conversation at Christmas, so my mom went and got a spoonful and mixed garlic powder in it.........I was really schocked it was not that bad and made it really different then with fruit. I...

I was at Sams the other day and they had the syrups in SF for sale back by the coffee. Also, for the one that has protein from Costco they dont like take it back. Costco is awesome if you dont like...
