Just feeling a bit sore and tired, but for the most part feeling better then I expected.... god willing I continue feeling better each day!

Oh sooooo many stalls. It's hard. They suck. They will continue to suck all the way through the journey. Search for 3 week stall.

after my stroke in June I started gaining my weight back and now I need help to restart my diet. What can I do to start to loss this weight

Link to story So sad I know a lot of people here watch the show so I figured I'd share. I never realized till I watched the show how hard obesity hits the body, and that even something as simple as an infection or cold can kill you when you're severely overweight. Sean is the latest example of that. Let's use this as a reminder to be happy that we are working on our health, and that slipping is never worth it.

Hi Tammy, Sorry to hear about your stroke! Glad that you are healthy again and ready to start back on track-that motivation is generally the hardest part about weight loss. I, unfortunately, have only recently been sleeved so I am unfamiliar with what advice might be the most helpful. This forum has been extremely helpful to me thus far so I am sure there will be lots of assistance. Keep your chin up!

First day of the stall hit while still on liquid diet phase. I consumed 184 calories that day. Second day was 1st day purées. I had 1/2 egg and 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese for 2 meals and all I had was the 2 meals. Yeah that’s all I had that day but I was so sick and tired of “sweet” tasting protein drinks I didn’t care. Yesterday I branched out and added a third meal of the Bariatric oatmeal. I double checked all my macros and I’ve only had about 20gm carbs for the 3 days combined. I did skip walking on the treadmill one of those days bc I had dr appts all day. Man I hope skipping one day on the treadmill doesn’t put me into a stall...

Oh wow....sorry you were having such problems. If I ever see another protein shake again UGH. I am trying to avoid them. But I know some days I just cannot eat enough protein and I have to drink one. But so far so good today- no protein shake shall be needed!! LOL...... I threw up three times so far , so I get the not staying down- but all three times I knew what I did. 1- brussel sprouts- while soft and delicious, I ate too fast and I thnk they were just too much to digest this early 2- string cheese not chewed properly and was sort of stuck and 3- just eating too fast and too much of dinner a few nights ago .....live and learn

99% of the people I work with are men so questions about weight loss are rare, but when I do get the question I say, "Not that it's ANY of your business, but I had to have intestinal surgery to correct a serious medical issue. I'm better now." If they press for more information, I literally tell them that I'm not discussing it with them since it's a private medical issue and go about my day.

I’m expecting this question from my MIL. I’m going to ask her why she is asking and why she thinks discussing my weight (gain or loss) is any of her business. If she has the nerve to continue then I will tell her that even though it’s absolutely non of her business, yes I did. And I’m leaving it at that. I say it’s ok to be rude to anyone asking you just to be nosy.

I’m going to have to look into the bio oil too. I’ve used Eucerin Advanced Therapy lotion for years due to the dry skin from diabetes so that’s all I’m currently using . But my face!! I’ve had the exact opposite. Since surgery I’ve been getting zits! I’ve had to go back to using Stridex and Clearasil . Haven’t had that problem in 40 years . But I’ll swap a zit for pounds any day of the week
