Thank you. You too

Getting my picture taken and I'm not hiding in the background

Before . Down 94 lbs

It's been a while since posted but it's 7 months and feeling amazing. I have certainly had my ups and downs but so happy to have taken the journey with so many others.

I treat them as food so I wait the 30 minutes after liquid and vice versa

Ok. I'm 5 months out lost 80 lbs and close to goal. That being said I am very selective on what I eat and would love any suggestions on snack foods that are healthy to expand my snacks. It's always nice because there is si much out there I will start. I found these bean crisps made if fava beans, yes fava beans. they are decent in protein 7 grams and fiber 5 grams. and 100 calories for an oz. and go....

Fit between 2 seats without asking anyone to scooch in. Feels so good.

I found my hip and collar bones as well. Such a great feeling. My newest thing is I love jean fridays instead of hiding behind my scubs.

Can't wait for summer amusement rides. I actually booked my first kayak adventure when we go to cali. I'm never to even worried about being able to get out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Your story is similar to mine as well. Lost 10 lbs before surgery. I was sleeved December 7th 2016. I have lost an additional 43 lbs which is 50% of the xcess weight. Started working out, jogging, and yoga. I feel amazing. I agree best decision EVER! Congrats on your success and keep up the good work. Hard work=success.

If the temperature is 140 degrees or above most will curdle so mixing it in at a lower temp is the key. Good luck Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hello. I'm two weeks out feeling about 90% better than except the darn pain on my right side. I'm able to walk fine but still can't bend without pain. Now I have a cold with lots of coughing and sneezing. Fun times, not. Not only does it hurt but it also feels like somethings moving in there. Weird, huh. Anyone else have this. A bit worried about incisional hernia. I'm sure I'm jumping the gun but any suggestions on how to help decrease the pain. Thanks so n advance. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thank little lulu. I'm doing great. Feel overall good. I'm now 2 weeks today and have been eating and drinking well. I've been able to exercise but still have some pain on the right side but Tylenol works well at this point to control the pain I wish you the best of luck and a quick recovery.
