I saw the forecast for this week and it looks good. Sunny and warm after several days overcast and drizzle. YAY!

At my gym personal trainers are an extra cost that I can't afford. Boot camp - working with a trainer and 3 to 5 other people is a quarter of the cost. I paid 300 for 3 sessions a week for 6 weeks....

Happy Birthday! 🎉

My clinic told me at 6 months that there were no restrictions, as long as I did protein first and got my liquids in. That said there are foods that bother me, like peppers for example. I can't...

Enjoy the retired life. I am. And if you're like the rest of us retired folk you'll find you're busier than ever. Congrats.

I lost what I gained over Christmas but can't get under 200 pounds. Glad I'm not the only onexception stalled but am so frustrated. I am trying to go to bootcamp 3 times per week, and am gaining...

Goals = Shopping.��

I was told to take benefibre, you can take it long term.

And shopping. Haven't tried hard and more, still tend to go to plus size section.

Congratulations. Isn't it nice to do all the things we couldn't (or thought we couldnt) before.

According to my plan the last menu is the one you follow until you reach goal. After that you add calories (maybe) as long as your weight remainso stable.

Congratulations

My theory is my tiny tummy still makes gas but after I eat there's no room so out it goes . . . one end or the other����

Pain in your chest could be your body's full signal. At this stage 1 or 2 spoons will fill you up. Your tummy is still healing and is probably swollen.

I second what Sandra3 says. You can't compare your path to someone else's but you can get support and ideas here. Follow the program and use this surgery as a tool.

My caffeine was Coke zero. Coffee smells delish but tastes horrid to me. Tea is my new format of caffeine but it makes me pee. Oh well.... What I really want is hot chocolate. Somewhere i have a...

Cottage cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, Greek yogurt. I was advised to wait 6 to 8 weeks before eating beef. It can be harder to digest

I was told to use premier shakes post surgery. I found adding cinnamon to the vanilla and icing it improved the taste.

I was told walking at week 1, water aerobics at week 8 but no weights or gym until 8 months. My doctor errs on the cautious side, plus I really wasn't exercising prior to surgery. Now I am at boot...

I am so glad I'm not the only one. Today is our last Christmas celebration. (My niece and nephews now have in laws so Christmas at my Mom's got moved from Boxing Day until today.) I will get rid of...

We all plateau at some point. I followed the advice given by several of the veterans on here. This is what I learned from them . . . I weigh and measure on my monthly surgiversaries and record it....

I found protein drinks hideous. There was an aftertastle to both optifast(preSurgery prescription) and premier (post surgery recommendation from my clinic.) I found adding a little cinnamon...

Tiny sips frequently. Try different water temps to see what goes down easiest.

Mine was 4 optifast protein shakes per day, plus 1 cup of raw veggies.

It depends on how thick your hair is in the first place. I lost hair around month 4 but even my hairstylist couldn't tell. I was the one who saw the handfuls when I brushed it out. We just cut the...
