Excited this morning. Got on the scale and I have lost 66 lbs and have 58 to go to reach my goal. I have lost more than I have left to lose. Here's to hoping the next 16 weeks will be as successful as the first 16.

Congrats!!

Well my butt is tired! I made use of my time this morning and went and walked the dogs before 5 for awhile then came home and got on the elliptical as long as my knee would let me. Thought those things were suppose to energize u? I'm pooped and it's just lunch!! Not sure how I'm gonna make it til I get off and home to cook dinner. Of course it's another FL super soaker rain day too and guess who gets to get soaked! Have a good day y'all!

I am having a terrible time with Constipation this week. UGH! Have taken a laxative for two days and Miralax for three days. I know we only eat a small amount of food but SOMETHING has to come out. The last time this happened to me, I pulled a muscle in my back/shoulder area by pushing! LOL! I feel so bogged down and am not interested in food. Im gonna have to find something that works. Any suggestions? Tomorrow I have an epidural in my back. He actually does both sides so I think its 6 shots. He always sedates me because my slippage is so bad he has a hard timd finding the spots. Hope it works cuz I have had a hard time walking the last two days. He is also gonna go over my rests from my mri last week so I'll let ya know what that said. Wish me luck!

I take flax and prunes daily. Miracle! Even concentrated milk of mag doesn't work. Nothing much seems to. Walgreens has "pearls" of flax seed and fish oil...tiny. I am able to swallow them. Helps me. Idk may help

With me adding Fiber it had not helped one bit.

Am in the middle of my first dumping! I ate some raisin bran again only the regular was gone so I ate the cinnamon almond one. This was around 5. At 830 I got very dizzy, started sweating profusely, and shaking like crazy. My blood sugar was 34! Starting to feel alittle better now but OMG this is horrible. I looked it up and I guess this was the late phase dumping that occurs 1-3 hours after eating. When I looked at the Cereal box it said 18 grams of sugar. OOPS! Never again will I not check!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
