I'm freezing all the time. The more I lose the colder I get. I was told eventually you return to normal and it doesn't bother you. I sure hope so.

You look great. I think you also lost 10 yrs in your look. Fantastic job

The strawberry is my favorite. It's the only Greek yogurt I like.

My Dr told me the only reason they tell you that is because they want you to try to get your full 4 oz of proteins in, also some people get very uncomfortable if they drink and eat. I've never had an issue. This rule I do not follow.

I love pickles too. I ate my first ones today. I'm 2 1/2 months out and I did just fine w them.

That's awesome. Congrats Awesome. Congrats

Are you doing all liquids no real food or soups? I did sugar free jello pudding n protein shakes only and dropped 10lbs in 7 days. You got this

Mine is right under my breast I get pressure at the top of my stomach, then I know it's time to stop.

Congrats you look great

You will be able to eat normal food in just a few short weeks. NSV means non scale victories. Hang in there.

Welcome back. It's something to be excited about.

I agree with Dewey, I slept in a recliner for atleast a week. I forgot that. Walk walk walk.

You need to remember that without the liquid diet there may not be a surgery. That is what pushed me to get me through it. Yogurt sugar free jello broth protein shakes will get you through. You can do it. Stop thinking about it.

Let me start by saying kudos to you for getting back in the game of dating. The married guy, well he's an ass. The lame dresser, he might just be the one. He just might need some help in the clothing dept. He might be a shabby sheik prince charming, don't give up on him. And as for getting serious about someone, date around see what's out there, you are still young. Like e life to the fullest.

I am having the puffy fingers issue ask I type. I too am very sensitive with salt. I must've had more than normal yesterday or maybe my arthritis is in a flare up. The best thing to do is keep hydrated. It flushes out the sodium.

I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with your decision. I agree with everyone who has already posted. This feeling will pass. You will learn to love the new you in more ways than one. It is hard....life isn't easy. Keep to your doctor's orders and you will do great. Come here to chat with those who have gone through the exact same things. These forums are a fantastic tool and support system. You can vent almost anything here without judgements. Good luck and chin up buttercup.

I was laying in bed today, (it's my day off) I was reading some posts and came across one that motivated me enough to get me out of bed at 7 and go do a 40 min workout. I was going to do the workout anyways but I was putting it off until later. Today is my double workout day...God help me. I've decided that I need to change things up for myself. I have already gotten in my 3 days of workouts that I require myself to do and still have 3 days left. I do believe I'll get in 5 days atleast this week. It's been a long time since I've done 5 days straight. I love to workout, I just let my life get in the way. Well not anymore. I know that if I want to reach my goal weight by my 41st birthday in July I need to get moving. My body is screaming at me for using muscles I haven't used in years, but I don't care. If I can move I'm moving this body. No amount of arthritis is stopping me now. Nor is my weight for that matter. This is my year. I normally don't think about myself so much as I do everyone else, but when I turned 40 I decided all that was gonna change. Let's talk about me!

Absolutely not. Mine wasted a whole day doing nothing.

You look great

I wanted to post my journey photo. Please feel free to add yours. Other forums are so long I thought we need a new one going. This is my day 1 of liquids to my 60 days.

Looking good

Glad to hear that you are doing well.

So glad to hear you are doing well. It is a process but that process does get much easier as time goes by. And boy does is go by quickly...trust me I'm honing in on 3 months in about 2 weeks and I'm like wow where did time go already. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Thank you everyone.
