I m sort of embarrassed to even ask this, lol, but here goes....

My husband and I go to a gym 2-3 times a week. I like to start a warm-up on the treadmill, and generally do it at an incline, at a moderate to fast walk. I try to hit a mile, usu

Hi,

In October, I will be 2 yrs out. I am always within (up or down) 2-3 lbs of my goal weight, and, although my surgeon insisted over and over that I exercise, I just could NOT bring myself to do anything. I have always hated it, felt defeated

WARNING...LONG POST AHEAD!

I am within 2 lbs. of my soft goal. I have NEVER been this close to reaching a weight loss goal in my life. I cannot remember ever looking in a mirror and thinking, wow, I look great...my body and face look

Sooo...I am 5 lbs from my goal....great...but....

I am having a VERY embarrassing problem...in the last 6 mos or so, I have had a....gas problem. I fart..a lot....and sometimes, I don't even know it's coming! Case in point...I had a meeting on

We went to my brother's house for Thanksgiving this year. They put out a huge spread of deliciousness! I had a taste of most things and even a tiny slice of cherry and pumpkin pies (which I didn't finish). Even after that, I lost some weight. I guess I

So, I am slightly over a year out....a couple nights ago, I indulged, or more accurately, I became mindless. Allow me to explain. My husband brought home some pumpkin spice liquor. Now, I am not a drinker, especially since surgery. However, he came in

On October 29th 2015, I got the VSG surgery. I wore about 18-20 sized jean, and was quickly approaching 22-24, as my jeans were just getting tighter and tighter. 

Today, I bought my first pair of size 6 jeans...SIZE SIX! It is kind of funny tha

Sheesh...full of questions lately...so...here's a weird thing...lol. Almost every time after I eat or drink..I get these LOUD stomach noises...gurgling, groaning...I swear, sometimes it sounds like my stomach is trying to form words, to the degree that

I am 15 lbs to my goal....that is AMAZING to me. However, I still, for the life of me...cannot get in the water. I drink coffee, tea (sometimes). and water....but never enough. Can't drink anything on my way to or from work because we are talking about

Haven't posted for quite awhile. Been SO busy with work, and then my husband and I moved. However, I had posted awhile back about beating my sugar addiction. I got a few comments about how that may come back and to be aware that it may seem to be gone,

Haven't been here in a few weeks....just a quick update for those interested. lol

 

I had surgery 10/29/15. I had a surgical incision that closed, except for the top of it. It would scab over, then the scab would painfully fall off and

On top of my issues with consuming protein drinks, and my newly discovered nauseousness whenever I swallow a 1/2 pill of a vitamin or calcium, one of my incisions that was mostly healed is now open, oozing and infected. I cannot get a break. Sigh. I ha

Hi. Had my surgery 10/29/15, and I am completely struggling getting in enough protein.  I have tried numerous shakes, different brands, flavors, homemade with powder and store bought.  I get very nauseous and my stomach is very uncomfortable for the re

I have ALWAYS hated, with a passion, fish. My husband makes a fried fish that I don't mind as much...but yeah..I am not a fish eater. So, one of my doctor's recommendations for soft food, is fish.

Well, for the first time EVER, I bought some Al

I stole this from my last post..but the question is...shouldn't this have filled me up?

Well I did it. I broke down and had a very loosely scrambled egg last night for dinner. Ate it very slowly. Chewed it to a fine mush and it was cold before

I have 2 more days of this horrid liquid diet to finally move on to soft foods....2 more days until I not had anything solid in a month! I really feel like saying, "Screw this...it's ONLY 2 more days...what could it hurt to start soft foods a little ea

They say 10 lbs = 1 dress size (whoever THEY are...lol). I have lost 14 lbs so far...my jeans are no looser than they were before (yet).

 What do you find to be true for you?

Still on my 2 week post op liquid diet. I have learnedL

1) Hot soup and tea go down much easier than anything cold.

2) Room temperature water can only be sipped with the smallest sips possible or else you feel it...it's not a nice feeli

Hi,

Not sure how everyone keeps track of their calories, proteins, weight and liquid intakes. I am sure there's an app for that. lol. I created an Excel spreadsheet that you just have to plug numbers into and it will calculate the wei
