Topic: Post Surgery Appointment

I had my appointment with the surgeon on Monday . Five weeks and everything is healing well.

I am still a little tired but regaining energy as I get better at sipping and getting enough fluid in (this is way harder than I anticipated ) .

I'm surprised at how quickly the weight is disappearing. I had been pleased with the 20 lbs I lost between May and November and am thrilled with the 38lb I have lost in the 7 wks since starting opti fast & surgery.

Going back to work in 3 wks so starting to follow my work day routine so I can work out any eating/drinking glitches and make the transition as smooth as possible.

Gotta say having this surgery is the best thing I have done for myself in a very very long time ?

Decaf coffee with almond extract and or coconut extract were my go to for the chocolate shakes. I also added another cup of water. It diluted the chemical sweetener taste.

When I did it, I put more water than directed on the packet and blended it with ice and a syrup I found at winners/homesense. Peanut butter cup was my absolute favourite! Good luck!

Topic: Optifast

Hi everyone. I just started my optifast and I was wondering what you guys put in it besides ice. It has a funny taste. I am not a huge fan of crystal light. It is only for one week and it ischocolate. Thanks

Topic: RE: Winter Activities!!!

I go to the gym almost daily on weekdays. It's how I start my day and just think about it like its part of my job. On weekends I might go to the gym or just try to get out with the dogs.

Summer weather I'm outside playing ball, swimming, walking the dogs, camping, hiking, but I also maintain my daily gym routine. I have been pretty faithful to the gym for two years now. Once it becomes your habit, you do miss it when you choose not to go.
