Ummm you're weird!! That's all! No, I'm just kiddin. I didn't have any of that happen. Does it make you walk all funny?

@@jess9395 Girl, I'm on my second 32 oz mug of water and a cup of the chicken broth. My stomach is like ummmm, no! Peeing is the worst!! The first two days are always the hardest for me. I wish I had some of the PB cookie. It's one of my favorites. I have a tub of the strawberry mousse, mint chocolate chip, chocolate truffle & orange one. I'm not feeling any of those. I had a Atkins royal Dark chocolate and I like them a lot but I'm waiting on my premier protein shakes, they have a lot more protein in them. I'll be lucky to get 3 in today. We (stomach) are going through a battlefield right now. I will be taking some zzzquil by 7 since I have to get up at 3:00am for work so I'm cramming it in now. Zzzquil is my saving grace because if not I would go nuts at night eating!

@@glitter eyes Hey that will work too! It's whatever you can tolerate.

@@LipstickLady Yes! She's for real my aunt! I know her personally, I've seen the butt shrink and extend....we're close like that!

My aunt did have gastric bypass about 8 years ago and she gained all her weight back plus some. She's taking "diet pills" now. It's sad and it sucks! On the other hand we are talking about a woman who would still visit the buffets and continue to eat even when it caused her pain. I think it was inevitable in her case. It can and does happen. So with that being said I am hyper aware of this fact and I take measures to keep myself in check. Ex: the 5 day liquid diet as a nice reminder.

@@LipstickLady liquefies in the mouth and sticks like glue to the a**!!!

@@LipstickLady No! That's not on the plan!

@@proudgrammy oh I'm sure you will be AND you will somewhat understand what they go through.

Ok! I stopped after school and got some goods! Now I just need my husband to show up with the shakes. As you can see I was serious about marking these gallon water containers. I bought the glass mason jar because it's cute and easier to drink out of than the jug AND it's 32 oz's. I'm also very aware that it's a straw but I don't have any issues with the straw so my surgeon said its ok.

@@_Kate_ I may extend with you.

@ Lets do it!

Oh and to start off my morning lecture my professor had this for me at my desk! Dang it!!! Filled with candy of course.

@@VSGAnn2014 YES!! I'm a horrible water Intaker! I'm sitting in class and my stomach is acting a fool! I didn't get all my shake in and it's use to food. I'm going to win this! The war has started!!! @@jess9395 Sounds yum!

@@AJ cowgirl That's too cute!!

I do have my breakfast ready for the trip to school!

@@AJ cowgirl Yes!! You're ahead of me but I'm working on that 16oz of water and I just gave my husband the "you're on your own" speech as far as food and the kids. It's about me this week!

@@Dub I remember being on the pre-op diet for two weeks and then another week after surgery. I was so ready to eat! Now I'm doing it for myself without having to. Funny how things work out. I never dreaded it though. I feel stronger when I accomplish things I set my mind to so its more of a test of willpower also. In the beginning I was always reading where people were eating all this junk and regaining thinking WTH! I would NEVER do something like that! How can they do that blah blah blah....now 1 year out I haven't gained anything BUT I've been eating more and things I swore I never would (like two sugar cookies for dinner) I had 0 hunger for months after surgery but that all came back with a vengeance. I feel hungry now. I have started to get lazy about my food. Not doing as much protein as I should and replacing it with other foods like salads ect....salads are good but not when you fill up on lettuce and not the protein. Long story short I'm slipping, man! I need to kick myself in the arse : ) I worked to hard to let myself down. With that being said I'm going to start on that water BEFORE my beloved coffee!

@@sweetie716 I will check in periodically during the day too!

@jane13@sweetie716 Thank you guys for joining in! I'm starting today until Tuesday but if I do well I may stretch it out a bit. We will see. 5 days is a great start and reset. I do suspect I will lose a ton but I am hoping to reset my eating!

@Chanti_Thank you! It's more to try to get back on track. I feel like I'm starting to pick up some bad habits again (sugar) and I refuse to go backwards!

@@mommy319 woohoo! Our group is growing!!

@@KindaFamiliar Well that does it! I won't be moving to Australia now!

The kids and I will be making me one of these tomorrow! Instead of "Instagram this" we're going to "bariatricpal this" lol!!

I have 3 Royal chocolate Atkins shakes to get me started tomorrow but I will be having my hubs pick up a couple cases of Chocolate premier protein ready made shakes for the rest of the week and some broth. I think it's good to let your digestion tract rest for awhile.

I will NOT cheat! I didn't cheat on my two week pre-op and I'm not going to cheat now. It's just as important. I have a busy couple weeks of working out of town and school so that should help keep me on track. Oh but I will be drinking coffee. It's liquid! I really have to focus on the water. I'm horrible with water!!
