Daily Post--4/30 AND 5/1

I was out for most of today and did not get a daily post up, so everyone gets a freebie again! Posting a response to this post counts as two responses! SO, here's our topic-- Help us come up with topics! Please list at least one daily post topic/question to be used for a future daily post. Please do NOT post responses to the topics folks list!! These will be used on later days!! Thanks! Lea

What type of things did you reward yourself with when you hit major milestones in your journey. Vivienne

1. A lot of us will end up at a weight we've never been as an adult. Does this excite you, scare you, or? And, how are you dealing with this? 2. What's your favorite dessert recipe that the whole family can/will eat? 3. Do you drink water for your fluid intake? If not, what do you drink? Hot or cold? 4. Has "looking better" changed your daily routine? Do you maybe wear makeup now, or make more effort on your hair or clothes? 5. Outside of your doctor and OH, what's the best resource you have for information on WLS matters?

What was your worst fear when deciding to have this surgery? Did it come true...what did you do about it?

Topics: Again, I am always looking for WLS friendly meal plans that I can serve my family...so a post about that is always good. ***************** Question: How much sugar can you eat in one sitting? Question: Liquid suggestions? I no longer tolerate water or crystal light type beverages as I did before..I am living on decaf coffee and it is getting old..Suggestions?

What is the most special compliment you've received? Who has responded the most positive to the changes in you? What health benefits have you received?

If you find yourself putting on 3 pounds, what do you do to take them off? Do you try to figure out the reason or just restrict your diet to lose the pounds again? How do you keep yourself motivated to reach your goal?

Does your surgical team do anything to reward or acknowledge their post-ops?

Exercise questions: Are you exercising regularly? If so, how often and what do you do for exercise? Did you exercise on a regular basis pre-op? How has your attitude changed towards exercise from pre-op to post-op and as your weight has decreased?

Let's see... so many good ones posted thus far! 1) what is your favorite form of exercise? 2) what type of music do you find motivates you to MOVE? Lori
