Hi Janice and KiWi,
I, too, am combatting a few stubborn pounds. I'm back at the gym, in a mask of course, but its something that I need to do. Covid has definitely changed my world. My school has...

Sip, sip, sip. Don't get dehydrated. Don't get discouraged. Just stay on top of your liquids.

I've got Covid 5!!! Today is reset day!!! Thank you for the reminder!

Welcome to the forum!

Were you given a plan from your bariatric team? I think by 14 weeks you should be out of the soft foods stage. Eat what you can tolerate. Pay attention to portions and remember, protein first.

Hi Janice, we've all been on the struggle bus! I am having health challenges right now and on top of changes at my gym, I have found myself with some extra pounds as well. Yesterday, I went back to...

Totally agree! I still try to check every few days to see if anyone is still around!

Welcome to the forum!

Good Luck to you!

Welcome to the forum! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

I think you have to stop doing the things that you are not helpful in your journey. You have reasons of why you wanted to go through this process, so you have to keep those things in mind. You can...
