5 day pouch test...ish. Wanna join?
So during my carb binge last year, I got a flu and wasn't interested in really eating for a few days. So basically, I lived on sugar free jello, soups, and fudgesicles. That lasted about 5 days, and once I felt better and started eating solids again, I realized I felt the restriction from my pouch again, didn't have…

How do you stay encouraged?
Like so many, I have fallen off the wagon and gained 20 lbs over the last year (mostly recently). I was wondering what are some of the ways everyone here stays encouraged to stay on track. More towards staying on track to exercise. I'm thinking about also printing out my before surgery and after surgery (at my lowest of…

At home workouts like Jillian Michaels 30 day shred?
Hey all, So I am almost 2 years post op and looking for new ways to stay active. I have a membership with my college gym that I go to when I have time, but sometimes it's just so time consuming just getting there and back. It's a 30-40 minute walk there, I try to workout for an hour or so, and then a 30-40 minute walk…

5 Day Pouch Test Anyone?
So I've sort of gone off the radar lately. My blender broke, so I started having cereal for breakfast which means I started my days off with carbs.

4th of July Weight Loss Challenge Anyone?
Hey guys, so I miss having weight loss challenges. I was thinking of just doing a summer one to June 1 or something, but then that just seemed too short. I like having 2 to 3 month long challenges myself, and I figured the 4th of July is when a lot of us will probably be hanging out with family and friends who maybe…

Weird NSV... kind of?
NSV... sort of.... As I was going to sit down at the dinner table tonight, I bumped my hip against the table top. I do this often when sliding into my chair, but this time it actually hit my hip bone and HURT! I sat there for a bit cradling my poor hip trying to figure out this new strange pain. Mind you, I don't have like…

Wanna join me in making a Halloween goal weight plan?
I love making short term goals. It's a lot easier for me to focus on "I'm going to lose this 10 lbs" instead of "I need to lose 100 lbs". I was thinking of what a good time period would be for a bit longer short term goal. I'm sure others have done this, but with Halloween being 3 months away, I thought that would be a…

Decaf coffee after gastric bypass?
Hi everyone. I am just about to hit 2 months post-op gastric bypass. My surgeon told me to stay away from caffeine because it can irritate and worsen ulcers in the stomach as well as dehydrate you, so I know regular coffee is off limits, but I was wondering if decaf was ok. I just miss the taste of coffee and I've found…
