hopeful2 be slim

my doctor recently told me to eat small portions always....otherwise slowly the sleeve can stretch.. now that is a scary thought....so better to follow doctor's orders,, she said you can eat every two hours...but eat small portions.

oh yes. i am sailing in the same boat...weight keeps fluctuating.... but I have read recently that we loose 10% of our body weight quite fast, then the body takes 6 months to adjust.,,, 6 months is rather long isnt it..

I am suddenly having tingling and sharp pain in my big toe....2 days it was in the left leg..today right leg also i am feeling it.. Should I reduce my proteins...will my weight go up... I am really tense...should I go on a vegetable fruit diet for 2,3 days and see....just juices to remove the high uric acid levels..

even I am wondering about restrictions. I did some crunches...and now when I bend down I am feeling something... I think we have to be careful about those staples.

today I am too depressed..since 3,4 days .I am suddenly having so much acidity....and i am unable to follow the diet....my weight is also increasing... I am popping antacids continuously....but not much help....does anyone have such an experience...

thanks Nicolanz. I was going to stop my workout...But you have motivated me!!!

I cannot walk much due to severe arthritis. So I started weights. Yesterday I did weights many times during the day. I was happy with my exercise,hoping the body will respond. But no today my weight is up by half kg. How depressing is that... why do we gain weight after doing almost 4 lbs weights almost 400 times?? I am really sad. Was so hoping to break the 1 month stall.

thanks to all my friends!! I will try crunches today. It feels like a good work out when we do crunches!! I am almost 4 months out so it should be ok.

yes I am happy. My weight loss is slow...as I have arthritis and dont move much. But the fear of putting on is gone...that is if we eat sensibly all our life.I am a happier person,there are some hormonal changes...I enjoy many things in life now. all the best to you all.

I am afraid to do crunches....will they harm the staples inside...i keep wondering. can someone guide me. I have recently started weights....I used to get swelling when ever I did weights...Now i am ok with weights. i dont know about crunches ....

thats very true...the sleeve is a tool. and we have to make it work for us. I was so stressed about my weight...but now I am not...so my sleeve is also responding... more Protein more exercise and more Water. all the best.

you have lost 60 lbs...wow..quite an achievement...dont worry...you will loose since you are so determined..but dont get stressed...its the worst thing for weight loss.

same here...stuck at 170 for a long time...But at least I have not put on..I need to change things...I am sure we will all loose.. all the best...

hello...I too am feeling too tired these days...its hot and legs are paining and exercise or walking is difficult... but I must increase my exercise...my weight has stalled since a long time...

oh is it...hormones are linked to so many things...yes I will talk to my doc soon. thanks..

Hello, no I dont have thyroid...but the net says it is due to arthritis and poor circulation...I do have both these problems..and both must have aggrevated... thanks all for your support.

My feet are so hot.literally burning....i never felt this way before...I wonder what the reason is. any ideas? I constantly wet my feet to keep them cool. It is very hot here...40 degrees. But i have never had this problem before.

our body takes time to adjust to weight loss....and they dont want to loose the weight easily....so stalls are very common...cheer up...all the best.

amazing news!! Thats why we have so many new likes and dislikes...and so many mood swings!!

dont worry you will be fine. follow the diet. and walk and hae more Water. soon you will forget these days.We all have been through this. all the best.

it must be due to constipation..try something for it. constipation is not good. all the best.

these days I am tired all the time. though I am 3 months out. Its summer her and quite hot.maybe thats the reason... tea refreshes me.i feel like having tea the whole day!! we are eating less food so i guess we feel tired.

my goal is to be slim and healthy and be able to walk better and be ready for knee transplant next year.

You better show your doctor...the incision should have healed long back.in a week or 10 days. I do not know about lemon juice..are you taking your antacid medicines.
