Needed 4 16 oz bottles a day I meant to say... Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Honestly, I walked around the entire length and breadth of my home with a bottled water in hand sipping as I walked. Rested as I finished one bottle after the other. And I knew I needed 16 oz bottles a day. So spaced out throughout the day when not getting proteins in. I was NEVER thirsty for the water, just drank out of necessity. Also, infused water with fruits such as HINT went down easier. Go luck and JUST DO IT. Better days ahead 🧡🧡 Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Day 12 Rest day was welcomed [emoji108]🧡 Favorite hobby: I completed a book I started a week ago! Day 13: On my way to Vegas for a girlfriends weekend. Will complete squats as soon as I check in. I don't think I'll be watching a movie so no distractions there. We may catch a good show, we'll see... First trip post OP. Only my husband knows about my surgery so I'll see how eating goes.... slightly terrified. I've not gone off plan ONCE so this will be a test of willpower. B side question: New Habits: Trying to get in 15K steps daily. Always on Bariatric Pal site Tracking food and water: Never say never! Didn't think this was going to be possible for me but I'm doing it daily! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was NEVER able to sustain taking vitamins preop especially Iron despite being Anemic. Post op, I've not missed once! I have a reminder on my Baristatic app and I take it faithfully. So preop behaviors does not always predict post OP behavior. I think for me there's a difference know I HAVE to versus I SHOULD if that makes sense. Besides my calcium Citrate starburst candy are the only things close to candy I will be having in a LONG a$$ time![emoji23] So you should be fine with reminders. I put some in my purse for accessibility. 🧡 Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sheribear68, the inches you have lost since you started posting on this OOTD thread has been quite dramatic!![emoji54][emoji54][emoji54][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Wow!!!! You are a "thin" person that it's hard to reconcile the "before" pics!!! It's an aside but I had to comment!! Your arms, your "slenderness" etc is a thing of beauty. Looking from the outside, I'm hardpresssed to see where another 30lbs weight loss is going to come from (definitely looking from the outside!!!......no issue whatsoever with your personal goal for yourself![emoji106][emoji106][emoji112][emoji112]). You have just lost so many inches and You look absolutely fantastic [emoji108][emoji108][emoji108] Keep up the great work!! PS: For all other posters, I've been "loving" all your OOTD!!!

Day 10 I wish I could take a picture of me actually sweating buckets from 70 squats done!![emoji27][emoji27][emoji27][emoji27] OMG!!!! Heart rate went to 150 bpm!!! Lol!!! Took a walk around the sports court of hospital grounds! Very random thing to do and I have never done it before. It was very nice and I was able to get some steps in[emoji106] Flavor of fall? Definitely pumpkin spice and for some reason nutmeg [emoji848]🤷‍♀️ Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Day 9 40 squats done!! Getting a hang of these.. Read: reading is a lifeline for me. I read daily so got that done. Got home before kids were out from school and got my hour long alone time to read. B-Side question: I have no idea what my gluteus goals are![emoji38][emoji38] It's never been an area of concern [emoji5][emoji5] So we'll see.. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
