To snack or not to snack...
When I went in to see my doctor 2 months post op, I was telling him how my husband had to remind me to eat when it had been a while since my last meal. My doctor immediately replied with "Stop listening to your husband. Only eat when you're hungry!!" I've been doing this lately and it has not been working out for me. I can…

It just hit me...
I would always see people on MFP or instagram saying how when they would fit in to sizes that they haven't been in in years they would break down crying. I went to Old Navy yesterday with my husband just to see if there was anything I liked. I picked up some jeans to try on and took myself to the fitting room. To my…

My NSV!!!!
My husband bought me a fitbit for my birthday last October and I slipped on the large wrist band. Well fast forward and while in the hospital getting sleeved he tells me that my fitbit band broke. Today he tells me to try on the small size band just to see if it might fit. I laughed it off and told him it won't fit. After…

Back home after surgery!
I just got home after being sleeved on the 29th. The doctor said that everything went well. I'm still in discomfort but getting better. One thing that I've noticed is that I am not hungry what so ever! Is that normal? I'm still really really tired since everyone knows that you don't get any rest at the hospital. I'm trying…

No turning back now
I am on my way to the hospital as I write this for a 6am check in for my sleeve. So many different emotions! But the two that have taken over is excitement and a little fear. Besides my c-section I've never had major surgery. Closing the last page in the book, and after today a new one begins!

Day 2 of my pre surgery diet
I have to admit the first day was pretty hard but it is done! Did you notice that it gets easier as each day goes by? Does your body get used to it after a while? Or was it just tough the whole way through

How long until you got your surgery date?

My initial appointment with my surgeon was on March 11th, and my surgery is scheduled for April 29th. I had to have an EGD, psych eval, meet with a nutritionist, and have some labs done. My insurance…

I need something to replace the 30 Day Shred!!!
I've been doing the 30DS and I'm on Level 2 day 5. Unfortunately I've had to stop because even though this workout is great, it has caused major havoc on my knees. Can someone recommend a workout that's just as good but won't cause me to have major kneed pain afterwards?

Stuck with pneumonia
Soooooo my doctor tells me I have pneumonia and I can't work out for at LEAST 2 weeks. This is driving me insane since I normally work out two times a day. I've lost about 25lbs in a little over a month and I'm afraid that since I'm not working out I'll slowly begin gaining the weight back. Has anyone else gone through…
