I am up to 2 blocks a day now. I know it doesn't sound like much but with my back and hips it is a major accomplishment. I am so happy with my progress.
I am still working on getting all the fluids in. I am getting all the protein in now so that is a good thing.

Carry a bottle with you everywhere till it becomes automatic to have the water and never go very long without a sip. It does get much easier to get in further out.  Walmart has a bunch of store brand crystal light type mixes to if you are on a budget. (I always am on one)

You are doing great on the walking. I know how two blocks can seem as far as 2 miles, but hey in a week you have doubled your distamnce and you have the determination to keep at it. I am proud of you.
 
 
Having the time of my life!

I agree with Momma!! U are doing good and every little step in the right direction is a step to reaching ur goal...so they all matter and are equally important. U are doing good, and keep it up

You are doing wonderful! 2 blocks is a huge accomplishment! I have to really work on my liquids every day. I just am not as thirsty as I was before the surgery. My diabetes kept me constantly dry. It is totally changed now so it's a daily battle that I know I have to win each day...

You should be so proud of what you are doing already Emily! I think it's a huge WOW moment!

Big hugs to you - I'm proud of you!  Even more more step than you're used to is a great accomplishment!  Sometimes it seems like the more energy I expend, the more energy I get back.  It's fabulous!

I'm almost 10 months out and still struggle every day with the liquids.  Pre-op, I had no problems drinking it all but now, not so much.  But I fight the good fight every day because our bodies can do without food much more easily than the liquids!

You are rockin'!!  Keep up the good work.  2 blocks is huge!  Next week shoot for 3 blocks and then keep increasing as you are able.  The most important thing is that you are moving each day.
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)
40 pounds lost pre-op
