I only told my husband. the first 8 weeks were hard, I was so tired and could barely eat anything! But I made it and 14 weeks out I am down 40lbs and super happy

Find your heating pad stat or buy another one. I had that random pain for over a week and remember how painful it was. I also used the pain meds my dr sent me home with.

i feel for you, I went through that and i had a rough 6 weeks,it was very very painful. I had to resort to the Glycerin suppositories!

Nice work!!! you look great.

Awesome job! So inspiring

Congrats!! What a huge achievement !

I had a BMI of 31 when I had mine done. I don't regret it. I have dieted all my life and it is a struggle, every year I have watched more weight stay then what I set out to lose. I am only 2.5 months in, I have lost 33lbs. My sleep apnea is gone and I am hopefully going off my high blood pressure meds! I feel so much better. There is a Facebook group for low Bmi!

The squatty potty has been a lifesaver ...

I weigh in every am!! Keeps me motivated.

No I do the low calorie ones. I buy the small bottles.

No! I take vitamin b-12 every day and the first 2 weeks I was super exhausted! Heating pad and my couch were my best friend ( i went back to work 5 days after surgery) drinking the gatoraids helps with my electrolytes and ensuring I don't get dehydrated. I read about that on this site from many people. I do it everyday and so far so good. I felt like crap when I didn't take enough protien or tried to eat something way too soon! Don't be in a hurry!

You can do this! And your relationship with food doesnt end it just changes. I am literally obsessed with Pinterest and finding something new to make. i am 6 weeks out so relatively new and I was so worried about how i was going to survive without what I used to eat. It literally has been a piece of cake !! I can not stress enough to drink all of your Water and get your protien in. I also make sure i drink 10oz of gatoraid a day. there were a few days i didnt do this and i paid for it the next day. Best of luck on your journey!

i was afraid to try cottage cheese and now i love love it! I like it with some fruit or some tomatoes or just plain !

I started cleaning out our food pantry and figuring out what I wasn't going to be eating... I also organized my closet by size

Hang in there ! I remember feeling exhausted. Take it day by day get your water and protien in!! Are you taking b12?
