Im still cooking the same unhealthy way but for myself going to fill up on shrimp and chili - No way I am eating wings and hot dogs and chili and chips - But will be a ton of it here for my unhealthy friends - I am doing a taco bar which i do every year so i will pick at the shrimp, meet and the taco fixins

No you filled the tank to capacity and it is letting you know - You should be drinking them by the ounce not the glass, I suggest till you know your limits that you drink 2 oz every so often about 6 times a day You will get the hang of it - Slow down and take your time

This is a common post - So my guess is yes!

I dropped 30 the first month also - but it will slow up so do not get discouraged

I agree less in equails more off! I Found working out to shred the last few pounds really helped, SImple use a machine and burn some off

It goes away Took me a long time even now it will fire up some noises just to let me know

Hell ya Nice Job! This journey down is fun

Yes water goes thru you fast - here is a trick - Make a broth or base, I suggest you use Bacon Base or chicken base - Sip it every hour about 5 oz and you will stop the hunger - The base or broth has great amount of minerals also and will make you feel better - you are close to being able to add some soft things to the bases so blend and enjoy - Also add a small amount of protein powder DO NOT USE STORE BOUGHT BROTH OR BASE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT, THEY ARE LOADED WITH SALT AND CHEAP ONES HAVE CHEMICALS -

I bought a Dog! and Travel to remote places. My view is you have Pre OP head games already started, Do not panic it will be the best decision you make, Start focusing on the good things that will come from it, I cross fit and stay busy so do not worry you will find something to do. You can always find a partner and keep buys with them.

TO early you body is saying F@#ck Food - Slow down there is no set time line - Do liquid and very very slow pureed, Pureed does not mean take a apple pie and Nutra bullet it, Use very light foods and go at it slowly,

Same as above best decision i ever made - IT saved my life

1. Carry Powder with you - You can get Almond Milk anywhere - I travel a lot - Two protein bars will get your thru the airport and soup is available so is chili 2. Eating out is kinda awkward i order off the kids menu or the app menu - But people will look at you like your nutz but you will always be the one with the doggy bag. The questions are the pain in the ass 3, I still love to cook and cook healthier and more detailed, However i am trained in culinary arts so this has been a long time of cooking, Cooking does not mean over eating, so if you can separate the two it works well, the biggest challenge for me has been the vitamins and minerals getting them balanced out and taking in some sort of food daily, I do not eat much at all - so have had a hard time with getting the vits and mins. Read back on a long post i did on how i cracked mentally, So the head games are a something to deal with. Triumphs are simple I am healthy thin and can move and do stuff i never could do before, This surgery kept me out of the URN so No regrets here

Yes it is a fun journey

Read this site about family support - You will get none and everybody has a opinion - You do what you want it is your journey

just search here there are a million posts on stalls - It will pass Try fasting a little and mix up your routine make help you break it

No do not let them go Keep the homeless look like I have been doing - Fun to make people uncomfortable with your baggy clothes! Great Job Glad it worked out for you

Greetings and welcome to the journey

Its all about Geometry - No the differential of the radius around your old body has decreased in Relationship to your the vertical axis causing a deflection of the point load which was your weight! So in other words it is a mathematical illusion

UPDATE This machine does nothing but vibrate - Only had it two weeks but Seems to be a Rip or vodoo potion. Will keep you informed but do not buy it

No Numbness here but if i sit for awhile my stomach like pulses like my heart beat, Very very weird, Hope I am not pregnant. JK Aj

Mine was no big deal - Just stay focused and keep saying you want to get healthy - Now like me Even if you do see Dead People and have visions of being a viking in your mind, Do not tell them that. And as for the ink blots you Never see Fairy Dust and Unicorns - Just happy pastures and flowers I have joked above but do not fret it was no big deal, Do not worry about it

For those of you who are about to have WLS surgery - Just wanted to give you a little encouragement. In June of last year i was in a size 48 to 50 Shorts and a 3 xl shirt - So i ordered new work shirts for my company and Today I am in a xl shirt and size 38 waist shorts Not only is this a great feeling but i also can bend over, I can do cross fit, I can F@#ckin move again! So if you have any doubts about the surgery Put on your big girl panties and get it done, Because the reward is well worth the bumps and bruises! Like NIKE says JUST DO IT!

Ok first day of Maintenance Going from 500 calories a day up to at least 1200 - Think i got this but looking forward to ready this whole area now, If this side of the fence is nearly as helpful as the pre side Looking forward to it AJ

For sure 100 percent better - All the little aches and stress is gone - Not just due to the weight loss but also the vitamins and minerals and doing cross fit - I dont wake up feeling like stiff and sore

congrads - Keep moving walk move go outside if you live in florida - the more you move the faster the gas gets out. Do not just lay there move sip move sip move sip Welcome to the journey you will love it
