I had a typo in mine too.

Omg I wish. I haven’t lost weight since the 8th 😭😭 hoping that comes back.

[ChellNC 162]

Hugs @Megan Sadler. I'm in a stall too.

[Megan Sadler 186]

Hopefully it won’t last much longer but I keep hearing about 2-3 weeks of stall for this one.

I made a huge pot of gaz Oakley’s high protien chili today. Will be having it for lunch tomorrow. And more zuppa Soup for dinner. I bought the stuff to make egg cheese and sausage burritos for everyone, I’ll just have mine without the tortilla. I also was contacted by a random gym and will be going on Wednesday next week to start walking on the treadmill during their free week trial since my gym is down for a week under construction 🚧 🔨. I can’t wait to get back up and keep going. My app lies I have 102 lbs to go till my real goal weight. It thinks I should get down to 145.

New to this site. Had gastric sleeve procedure 8/22/18. Down 20 thus far. Thought I was dealing with major allergies for the last week but started feeling really bad yesterday. Went to urgent care and was told I have the flu :(. I’m bummed that I won’t be going to the gym for a couple of days, but I know I need to allow my body to get over this flu. So frustrating! Hope everyone is doing well!

I’m sorry you got the flu. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. Good job on your 20lbs weight loss

Very restless night last night so I'm really dragging today. It wasn't due to wind or rain because I never heard either of those. Woke up at 2 and didn't go back to sleep until nearly 5:30. Haven't had a night like this in a long time. I want to sleep all afternoon now but if I do I won't be able to sleep tonight.

[Megan Sadler 186]

So here’s what I did. This morning I added 1 of my Probiotics and 1 of my biocleanses in (plexus—super good for post op)

I’ll be going up to a normal dose come next week. Which is 2 in of each in the morning and 2 of each in the evening. It helps regulate. It worked right away without all the nasty side effects of laxatives which have long term usage issues. Probiotics help create a healthy gut biome which is needed of course. :) and it’s not pricy lol.

Aw hon, that sucks! Sleep has been horrid for me! It’s like I’m used to sleeping on a full belly! Not empty and anxious. Maybe some melatonin?

Try some soothing sounds or get a diffuser and some essential oils. Personally thunder storms knock me out so quickly.

I’m trying to get up the courage to wear this dress to work tomorrow. It’s definitely not my usual style bc usually I hide in basics, but I bought this from Amazon for like $19 and I really like it but feel self-conscious and unsure...

Edited to add a pic from 1 week post op for comparison...though the clothing and stance is really not apples to apples!

Yea or nay?

[Megan Sadler 186]

It looks good on you. I say go for it.

[Fluffy Grandma 89]

It’s very flattering. You should wear it to work with confidence!
