@@colorfulperson I use my iPad but thank you now I will know if I do decide to use my phone. @@SuperDave ha! Thanks, but I think some do care and that's fine it's for the men. The funny part is even though we aren't suppose to respond girls are still in there "liking" everything! So obviously reading it! But I get the concept of having a private room.

See now I don't even know if I may be should have posted this IN the men's room! Sweet baby Jesus this is so confusing!!!

Oh! Ok I see it now! You have to click on the topic and then it shows up in Tiny writing at the very top of the page ( on my iPad) Well dang! That means I have to read the topic, get my reply all ready, click on the link just to find out I'm not even suppose to be replying! Ugh! That's a lot of stinking work! But ok I get it now! They should label under the "recent topic"'what section it's in so we don't waste our time! Man, I wonder how many times I wrote in the wrong section geez!

What? Am I in the men's room? Seriously? Wth I still don't see that! If it the men's room then why in the heck is it posted under "recent topics" that's all I normally read or comment on! Why does it not say what area the " recent topic" is posted in? So aggravating!! I clean the one attached to my actual dryer. @@JerseyJules They really need to fix this topics thing!

Ummm nope.

Now that I'm more advanced and on regular food I use it to measure out chicken, cheese, shrimp ect....lots of things!

No my scale didn't come with anything but you can use a cup, bowl ect on it and zero it out then measure whatever you need to. I didn't use it in my two week post-op because I was on liquids so I just used a measuring cup when I needed to. I normally didn't even need to do that because I was taking such a little bit in it didn't even matter, I mainly just kept track of my oz of water and protein.

Yes it can!

Oh my goodness! Well good thing you caught it! My dryer Has a warning light when the lint gets to be too much. I'm a fanatic about changing it every time though...bet you will be too now! Glad your safe!@@JerseyJules

Oh and I also drink the premier protein ready-made shakes and have been since pre-op!

@@Cyr I use my digital scale I got at the cheap-o dep-o (Walmart ) for like 20 bucks and my plain measuring cups, and tablespoon sets....works like a charm! I also track everything with my "lose-it" app!

Drink lots of water!! I know blah blah blah but really! And coconut oil can be your friend in the beauty department!

@@JaneJaneDoe Oh and good luck to you too!! You guys are going to rock it!

Oh my goodness! It's about time@@kimdlawson06! I can't wait to see some updates! Sending up prayers for you! Godspeed!

Awe don't cry! What are you so sad about? The first days can be miserable but everyday get easier! Chin up buttercup! @@Brandie Harris

Yay for the clearance! Hopefully with time you will get rid of that cpap for good! Surgery is scary but it's also a wonderful life changer! Good luck on your journey!

I'm going to the gym....for real this time! And I'm NOT going on the 1st, maybe a Day or week after just so it won't have the "New Years resolution" stigma attached to it. That little bastard fails me every time! I'm smarter this year! So tomorrow the hubs is taking me shopping for cute workout gear. I made that "buy my wife cute clothes all year" resolution for him! I know sweet huh!!!!!

I'm not quite there yet but I hope to be soon!

I know the feeling! Congratulations!

@ Waiting stinks! It does seem like you've been in the process for awhile now! Hopefully they will give you an answer soon!

Your not doing Anything wrong you probably just hit a plateau. It should pass, just stick with your plan! Good luck! As far as tips some people claim upping the calories can help break a stall. I can't say that for a positive because I haven't experienced it.

Wow! Sounds like your doing great getting that all in so early out!!congrats!

That's an ok thing! You will just evolve into a new "normal".

I love chick peas and avocados...never thought to put the two together though. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on your progress and success!
