(Almost) 100 Pounds lost in 3 months!

Hello fellow sleevers,

 

Well it's been three months since my initial surgery, a little more actually and I am finally doing pretty well. Though I was in hospital for two months with a leak, I am finally starting to feel a little normal. I am back at work (part time admittedly) and getting around to christmas parties etc. I usually love this time of the year - I am loving it a little less this year. I am not sure if it's because I was sick and the whole Christmas thing is (frankly) exhausting or if part of my love of this time of year was food related (and since that's off the books, then my enjoyment is somewhat dimmed)...but I am generally feeling pretty good. My stamina still sucks but I have an exercise program that I will start after Christmas that I am hoping will help with all of that.

 

What news? Well, I am eating everything now - well most things lol. I am finding that many things do not suit me anymore. Carbs is one of them - bread, pasta and rice are really hard to eat so I avoid them. I hate protein shakes and powders so am focusing on consuming all of my protein through my diet. This means that I prioritise protein over everything else. Basically it's protein, veggies, fruit, dairy, carbs. It's working because as of today, I have lost 98 pounds. I have another 97 to go lol but I've lost it. It now means that my ticker will show double digits to lose rather than triple digits. It's a small milestone but it's mine, okay?? As we use the metric system here in Aus, double digits means anything under 99kg (about 218 pounds) so it will be a while before I get there. But at least my "to lose" pounds are now in the double digits, hey!

 

 

I hope you are all well and enjoying your sleeves.

 

Thank you for all your support and kind wishes during the past few months! I look forward to hearing of your successes and sharing mine along the way!

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Cheers, Lila

What are the secrets to your success ?

I was quite big to start with and I think that it helps promote big weight loss initially. But it has also been a lot of trial and error. I don't deny myself anything but am always thinking about the nutritional value - so for example, if I have that piece of cake will I be able to eat what I NEED to eat that day? It helps me to think like that however some days you just really want that piece of cake!! The other best advice I got was to eat regularly. Some days it can be every few hours. Today it's really hot here (I live in Australia), so I haven't really eaten all day just drinking all the time. It's a balance. I think that I am coping better with this the longer I have the sleeve. When I first started it freaked me out. Now I realise I need to listen to my body. If it needs fluids, I give it fluids. It'll let me know soon enough when it needs food!

Best of luck to you on your journey!!
