Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! I love a good transformation pic, how about you? Show them to me!😍 I'll go first.. Stats: Height: 5'0, HW: 194, SW: 187, CW: 130, 10 months post sleeve

Oh, you'll be still be buzzing for sure, but doing the things you enjoy, because you'll have all this new-found energy after your weight drops! Things that hurt before won't, so you'll be able to do more with less pain. Even a thirty pound drop will give your knees a HUGE sigh of relief! Ha when I read your thread title in the "recent topics" side bar I thought it was going to be about having to give up coffee...🤣

I had been a 1kg away from my goal for a few days - jumping up and down a few hundred grams at a time. I was really getting discouraged and almost indulge my feelings with more food and after psyching myself up, I chose not to do that to myself. I woke up this morning and hopped on the scale - low and behold - I finally hit my goal weight!! I can't wait to see my dietitian later this month. It's my first meeting with them and I've already got my weight down! Just wanted to share my pre-op success!! 💃

I’m just starting my 4th week post op, and it has been rough, but I’m now currently dealing with insane migraines for about a week straight now and have no idea how to handle them. I was released from the hospital last week after being treated for dehydration and lack of vitamins. I’ve kept up my liquid intake, have started eating soft proteins and kept up with my vitamins as well. Has anyone dealt with migraines like this before?

Congratulations, you look great!

I have 4 dogs. I was more worried about the dogs being home by themselves. I have a doggie door they can come and go. My dogs have food and water 24 hours a day so there is no issue with them scarfing down food and I have a doggie door. I have 3 chihuahuas and a golden. My daughter also lives two blocks away, but I worry about her coming in the house when we are not there. My Golden might bite her, seriously, not hard, but a warning bite. She is not the brightest crayon in the box. The Chihuahuas love my daughter so there is no issue with them. My doc put my mind at ease and told me if my surgery is in the AM, I will most likely be discharged the next day, so that would only be two nights away from home. My husband will be staying with me. I was thinking of booking the hotel for him for a second night so he can go back and get some rest. I am pretty sure that is what I am going to do.

Yes!!!! Congratulations!

Hello!!

The struggle is real. I just had my first 'slip' after 54 days of sobriety. Sucks. I would recommend speaking to a psych about anti-depressants...specifically an SSRI. You have to play Russian Roulette a bit to find what works for your brain chemistry, but it's worth it. Made things a lot lot easier once I found the right combo. (low dose Celexa for me, but everyone is different)

Get yourself one of those small under desk exercise "bikes" or "steppers", if you really are strapped to the desk for that long, there are also plenty of other things you can do to get some exercise in! Just googled "Desk exercises" or "chair exercises" https://draxe.com/exercise-to-do-at-your-desk/ https://greatist.com/fitness/deskercise-33-ways-exercise-work
