The surgery does not relieve pain right away. I have been struggling with severe back spasms and neck pain since surgery. I have to go to the chiropracter 2 or more times a week. Cant wait for an.improvement

You have to take that or you could get ulcers.

Its a good substitute if it filled the craving, however if you are still obsessed with that cookie, a teeny taste may have been the answer. They never taste as goid as they look, and I know I dislike nearly all treats now. Chocolate, yuck, cake, yuck doesnt even look good and tastes worse!

Wow. What a change!!!!

I can wrap a bath towel aroubd my body. Impossible before

Yeah if they all do why would we need the surgery? The last thing I need is to be thin then fat again

Those are two different people! Great job

Soo funny

It is nice to have a friend on here to get the support, but chances are if you just had surgery a few months ago, you are not an expert. I am 4 months along and my routine and things that work for me are mot exact to the doctors sheet. Just like our lives before were nowhere near dictors guidelines. Just remember this as you stand on your soap boxes of right and wrong. Every plan does not work for everyone, just like all doctors are different in their plans. I think if we concentrate on support and not telling each other that they are right or wrong, it is more helpful. Example. Many of us are told no fruit. Do you know that I have rapidly list weight from adding oranges to my diet? Your routine may not match someone elses but that does not make them a failure or you an expert. We are on our own journey. Leave judgement at the door

I would definitly not eat before getting on!

Buy the ready to drink.ones that are un refridgerated and drink.room.temp

I just get mental. I go from 0 to 60 in a few seconds time. I go through all the emotions all the time. Maybe once I am at goal.i will be more stable

You look fantastic!

I too have a disability and that changes things up a lot. If you are on medicines, they may make you unable to lose. You might just take longer in the race, but you will get to the finish line if you keep.trotting alonh

I just feel a slight pressure, then I stop

I find it fastinating that some have taken offense to this post. Usually when I see a topic I am not interested in being a part of, I dont read it or comment on it. I kniw the poster meant no judgement or harm. I understand and agree that it can get a bit much everyday seeing some post about a stall. They are upsetting , but a necessary part of the process. How we handle them is another issue. I cant come to your home or office and keep you from scarfing down brownies. We all make mistakes and sometimes stalls come from mistakes, sometimes not. The fact is, I cant help you through your stall. I have offered encouragement and advice to those in stalls, but really theres not much to say. We all know we have to scale back to basics or.just drive on and wait.it out.

Maybe it.just means swollen

I dont know about the 6 month timeline. I have seen so many you tube videos and everyone continues to lose even after a year, sometimes two years. We just need to keep going and not freak out over stalls.

We all need to realize that we have to let our bodies decide. Its going to take time, and there is going to be a point when we stop losing. We can just keep up with the plan and let our body sort out the rest.

I am bad at both, but keep at it all day ling

Yep sounds like dumping. Alit of people cant eat the sf jello due to the sugar alcohols in it

Pickles have a lot of sodium and can dry you out and also dehydrate, but I love a slice now and then

Thats what I average. Its normal
