2 lbs away from onederland. Probably take me a week but do I care? I do not!

Busy week, I tore apart a long dock, helped unload and move long poles and hauled much lumber manually, and helped buld a boat house. The Florida sun is blazing hot, I jumped in the lake today...felt pretty good. I am getting quite a tan. Debbie has noticed.

Finally a week out and able to start full liquids. Had some tomato soup today with basil and it was .... AWESOME. Just what I needed mentally to keep going.

Week 1 post op and 9lbs down

Down 2 lbs this week, looks like the stall is over!

1 month out today. I lost 32 pounds in first 2 weeks but nothing since. I am still super happy though and I know I will start losing again.

Excited today and nervous it is getting close. Today I start my 2 week diet and I got the wrong protein shake soooo I haveto go back to Walmart on my lunch break to get the correct one. I feel ok just having a hard time drinking all this water. sip sip sip.

1 week post op, moving forward

One week post op today - baby steps!

20 pounds away from my goal weight! One year Anniv next week! I'm on track and I feel amazing! LISTEN, you will run into weight loss stalls! DOn't get alarmed. The moment you start eating meat again, weight stall. And every so often (more often than not) weight stall. I would go weeks without weight loss. And then all of a sudden I'd drop 3-5 pounds. The weight will come off. Be patient!! But keep in mind, once you start eating meat, exercise will help spee...

I have been trying to find a protein shake that doesn't taste like CHALK...and the 3 I had tried, all RTD liquids did, even after I doctored them up with sugar free caramel syrup and splenda and coffee...wondered how I would ever drink these for weeks on end.

feeling amazing! down 10lbs 1 week post op!

I cannot complain about losing 35 pounds in seven weeks!

Well yesterday made 1 week since my surgery and I feel great I go to the Dr today and I hope he remove this drain it is annoying more than anything and constantly in my way. I was feeling so weak initially when I came home on June 19th but that has since changed because I decided to try juicin and it has worked wonders there are so many recipes to try but you do have to be sure not to over do it. But it gives me energy as well and nutrients. I could not do those proteins shakes or drinks as t...

Great way to exercise! I just got cleared (3 weeks) for more exercise. I hate walking ... feels like I'm not accomplishing anything. My husband got one of those big zero turn mowers (we mow 5 acres) and I don't feel ready to be bounced around on that mammoth thing! So, I had him haul out the small push mower and I have been using that! I can mow for an hour and feel like I am accomplishing something! I stop a few times for hydration and each day mow for one hour. I...
