So....the first days after surgery?
Sorry for all the questions.... My Dr. does 2 weeks prior to surgery of a high protein liquid diet. This is the same diet you follow for two weeks after the surgery. Yesterday morning they brought me 4oz of a protein drink at the hospital and told me to drink what I could in 30 minutes - I made it about to 2oz I'd guess…

How often do you weigh?
In the past when dieting through traditional methods I usually have fallen prey to weighing myself every dang day and then the depression that undoubtedly settles in when the scales have stalled or even gone up instead of down. Just wondering what others do? Thanks

Surgery is done!! Woot!
Surgery yesterday - all went well. Felt horrible when I came to though...lots of pain and nausea. But by early evening I was starting to feel better - was able to get up and start doing laps around the unit. I've been up this morning and showered and doing more laps. I've also started my water every hour. If all goes well…

Tomorrow is the big day!
Tomorrow is surgery day! The closest hospital/dr.'s to me that does it, is 3 hours away - I have to be there at 8:30am. So it means taking my kids to my moms house around 4:30am tomorrow morning, gassing up and hitting the road. Surgery is scheduled for 10:30am. I've lost 17.2lbs since I started my liquid high protein diet…

Recommendations for workout dvd
Back at the end of April I had arthroscopic knee surgery - I had a torn meniscus/acl. Surgery went well and I was to have physical therapy. But then I ended up having to have a hysterectomy and my insurance approval for PT didn't come till I was having the other surgery, so PT never did happen. Now, my knee is worse then…

I am just wondering if anyone (well guess that would be women, lol) have experience being on Mirena (IUD) while trying to loose weight. My doctor assures me that it won't interfere with my progress. Thanks, Erin

Weight vs. Inches
I am now into week 3 of my journey. I've noticed that since last Tuesday, I've not lost a thing - I actually fluctuate a few ounces. Last week I was ovulating (sorry if that is a TMI), and I asked if that could affect weight loss and the replies seem to say yes it could. However, I decided to remeasure myself and I've lost…

Ovulation affect weight loss?
I am wondering does ovulation affect weight loss? I noticed I've come to a halt the past few days and while nothing has changed with what I am eating, the only changes that have taken place are 1.) I am ovulating (sorry if this is TMI lol) and 2.)I've started exercising every day. Thanks much!
