how fun! that's gotta feel great!

i feel the same way!! (sleeved dec 16, 2014) i think about all the stuff/crap i'm not eating... junk food, SODA, candy, SODA....and thinking such a change would make it burn off faster!!! i know the weight gain didnt happen overnight.. so I shouldnt expect that it goes away overnight... but it would be nice!!! thanks for…

hi - for hair loss, my program suggests the following supplements: biotin - 1-3 mg per day fish oil - 2000 mg per day primrose oil - 500 mg per day zinc - 80 mg per day co-enzyme Q10 - 50 mg per day I'm only taking biotin and fish oil at the moment....havent noticed unusual hair loss..yet!

there are tons of videos for TRX... hope you get one!!!

good going on the 70! you can customize it to reflect your calorie goals. i'd sync back with your doc and see what they say.... and if your goal now is 1300 calories and you exercise, you're not supposed to "eat" back your exercise calories in order to create a deficit and lose weight! i think the confusion might be…

oh great-- you'll have to share some of your routine....im starting today! gasp......

you look great!!!!!

Anybody have a Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer scale????? I just ordered one, was wondering what experience people have had. I'll let you know my take as soon as it arrives.

anybody doing suspension training? i need a trx buddy!!!

wowowowowow... amazing...

i am an ice lover..so I would make a large glass of ice water, let the ice soften a bit and then chew up the ice or let it melt in my mouth!!!!! weird, but it worked for me.. never had the gulping issue...

lol.. i did the same thing!!!!! and i really wanted to like them because it would of been a good way to get protein in...i'm a premiere protein drinker now.. switch up between choc and vanilla and recently got some flavored extracts to add to the vanilla but i havent tried it yet (orange.. lemon and rasberry)

at least it was DIET Coke....mine was with regular coke.. i ended my relationship prior to surgery and do not dare temp my trigger...happy for you that you tried it and then had to toss it out!!!

reminds me of that zen proverb....chop wood, carry water to get to goal: weigh, measure, log... after goal... weigh, measure, log!!!!

wow. what a story.thanks for sharing. and i hope your friend is doing better!

i could not drink the isopure protein water.... to me it had a gasoline/oil/metalic aftertaste!!!!

Go Devi! so happy for you! report back on how you are doing!

exactly... thats the kind of thinking that got me here in the first place.. eating exactly what i wanted, how much I wanted, when i wanted for years on end... im only 6 weeks out and i dont think I've earned the right! although i did freak out last night from sugar and had a hot cocoa and went way over my allotment for 0z…

oxalates leave your teeth fuzzy...the oxalates crystals in those foods leach out of them when you chew them up and then they coat the teeth! i only notice it with spinach..

wooo - hoo! excited for you! lip balm was a saving grace for me while in the hospital. i brought slippers but ended up just using the non-slip socks that they provided..

sounds to me like the fatigue is good.. it means the body if busy focusing on healing the parts that need to heal. relax, rest up, sleep. this is your time to take care of yourself.. let the nurses take care of you this time!!! ;)

yikes! what an experience....it took about 3 days for the gas to subside for me.. i like your attitude though...knowing that the worst is over and it's going to get better ever hour because it will and it does! congrats!

could be ketosis...do you have and lactose intolerence issues? could be an oxalate thing also..are you eating any beets, spinach, rhubarb, strawberries, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran?..

i've heard about this also!! guess its true! i'm a little cold sensitive as it is.. let alone after surgery....oh boy!

Being fat is hard, being skinny is hard, maintaining your weight is hard... pick your hard. @aylajane -- i love that one!!! thanks for posting!

rple111 and janet thanks for the ideas!!! i'll have to try the tuna and the chx/guac idea.. i havent seen individual cottage cheese.. i'll have to keep my eyes peeled for those! THANKS! i finally tried the almond cran chicken salad that i found from costco and spit it out! i've become so picky.. i'm not going to waste a…

Amazing- congrats!

I couldnt do puree either. I was careful and ate the following by chewing and mashing it up in my mouth prior to swallowing: egg salad (all egg w/tiny bit of mayo) black beans (used a chipotle hack recipie and fortified it with non- flavored protein) cottage cheese

WOW!

stick to it...you can do it! think of it as helping the surgeon for your day of surgery. i heard that the diet helps shrink the liver and the surgeon needs to navigate around that to do the surgery!!
