Breaking down... Not a pound lost
takroom replied to albertamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Albertamom- take a deep breath, follow your liquid diet & stay off the scale for a week or so. Remember, you were hooked up to an IV, you stated you were on your period & you're body is recovering from surgery. Everything will be ok! My thoughts & prayers are with you. You WILL start seeing the numbers drop, give it time -
Did anyone stall out at around 3 weeks post op?
takroom replied to dinaforeman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you search Forums, for Lil Diva's bootcamp, it will come up. Basically, it's a 5 day plan, cutting out carbs & sugars & eating lots of protein & drinking water, to kick start your weight loss. -
Good job!

Use Your First Six Months Wisely
takroom replied to june13sleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Swizzle, clt- well said! I truly believe that we are on our own journey, to the same destination, lose weight & get healthy.... How we get there is up to us! What works for me, may not work for someone else. I do know, those of us who have chose to have WLS, chose that path because we wanted a tool to help us achieve a healthier lifestyle. -

For those curious about getting your DRANK on...
takroom replied to Huntingnurse's topic in Food and Nutrition
No back lashing here...as I "socialize" at least once or twice a week. I can only handle a max of 1-3 Diet & Malibu drinks, and yes, I know, empty calories, blah, blah, blah!!! Hey, don't judge me, you don't know me!!!! LOL -
That's awesome!
