  1. guys, we are here to support each other, to learn new things and thread is about something else. Can you please come back to the subject?
  2. uhm that made me double think, thanks for opening my eyes last year i used to drink orange fresh daily and I was wondering why I get fatter every day. Seems that the answer was very simple. I will cut the fruits too and see what happens. Does any of you mantain their weight without doing sport often? Any idea why the carrots are forbidden? Not that I am a huge fan but I want to know... Thanks
  3. I was a good girl for 3 years after surgery then I quit smoking and I start to discover orange fresh, after 8 chocolate and then the rest... I have 2 kgs over the superior limit of normal and I think these two kgs are impossible to lose. How do we lose weight after gaining it? My doctor is very short by saying "eat only 3 meals per day"... and that is all... oh yes and "lose weight" (LOL) Does anybody experienced this? As for exercises what is better? Aerobic or fitness? Is something "in house" working? Does Vitamins "help" us gaining weight? Thanks tons! Aoa
  4. I used to have 55-57 kgs last year and now it seems I am stucked around 64-54 kgs and I am more depressed every day. I swear every day I will eat less, I will stop eating sweets but I always end up in bed with some chocolate or some carbs with many calories... I think everything goes from head... I still think as an obese 4 years after surgery and it`s getting worst. Anyone have these kind of thoughts and feelings?
  5. this thread help me tons to see where i do wrong I eat haotic and I don`t do any exercise rather than small cleaning duty in the house. I need to change this style ASAP. Being here is the first step...
  6. Thanks for advices I take every day B12 sublingual 100mg, vit D 1000 mg, Centrum advanced, chrome picolate, code oil, probiotic, vitamin C, Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg and Indole-3-Carbinol (last two aren`t this surgery related) My blood tests were in normal limits... Last night the scale show me 62 kgs and I was so happy. I tried to stay off from sweets and unhleathy food. I don`t have too much activity and I need to go to gym... After I lost so much weight I became sure that nothing could bring me kgs back. I was wrong... We need to be careful for the rest of our days. I still think as an obese, 4 years after surgery. Thank you so much for advices one more time! So nice to meet people with the same surgery. PS: I want to become vegetarian soon....
  7. thanks for reply did you had any health problem being vegetarian? How is your energy? Mine is so low my doctor didnt gave me any diet to keep. His only strong advice was to eat only 3 meals per day... and yes I need to find my motivation to lose weight again! I hate extra kgs!
  8. I had my surgery in feb 2008. Last year I was at normal weight and everything was perfect. I had 55 kg and I was happy until I decided is time to quit smoking. Since then I gain 10 kgs... so I see I am the only one who voted for 15-20 lbs. Does anybody knows how in the world should I lose at least 2-3 kgs? (I have 2 kgs over "normal limit" I have now around 63-67 kgs depending on the position of the scale and its mood (my normal limit is at 62). I havent see nowhere how to lose weight after you gain it? I haven`t found anywhere if there is any vegetarian who did this surgery? Or, raw vegan? (I know I am asking too much) ... thanks, aoa

    Awkward moment

    I lived these kind of moments the last 3 years since I had the surgery My answer is the same: i do gym and i eat less, try if you don`t believe me I told only to the fat people, maybe some of them will do the surgery too Why awkward? I feel good and proud! You should feel it too
  10. congrats, you look awesome!
  11. Stop eating at McDonalds. That food is very unhealthy. That is the way I got from a normal person into an obese and have surgery! Stick to healthy food and you will see the difference later.

    Hunger--the time game

    yes, the doc told me that if i eat 5 times per day the stomach ask 5 meals. So "stop eating5 times and you will be ok very soon" I listen that and it worked. I now eat 3 meals and sometimes some fruits between them witch i am not allowed lol Anyway it is working... I already lost 1-3 kg and I am happy because I get again in my old jeans PS: I killed hungry with Protein. I also take D and B12 because I had the levels down. Good luck to you all

    Right or wrong choices???

    I don`t think is a problem. I rather taste from something than crave after it all my life and end up married with the fridge... It is your choose, try to stay on what doctor says but don`t do 100% like that. I know myself, if somebody says "don`t do that" I will do it more than that.

    Hunger--the time game

    Ok I left a reply yesterday but when I hit Post, the site was down.... So I am going to write again what I wanted to say yesterday. It`s been 4 days since my crazy hunger days. I don`t feel it anymore. I wrote to doctor, being desperate, I was starved even if I ate that day around 1900 calories witch were way too many. My dr said to calm down and eat 3 meals per day. Something like eat as much as you can but only 3 meals per day. My best friend open my eyes. She told me to eat more Protein and less carb. And that worked!!! I don`t feel hungry anymore at all. I even ate fruits, witch I didn`t used to eat and everything is alright. PS: I already lost 1 kg I am happy! Now I stay around 1,000-1,300 cals and I are two ice-creams too Thanks for your support! Aoa

    Hunger--the time game

    Hey guys, thanks for the nice thoughts. Indeed, this crazy hungry and some sleep change started since 2 March, when I quit nicotine of any kind. I bought pills "Tabex" from ebay (I saw many people were buying those and I though would be nice to give it a try) and NTB cigars from pharmacy. NTB are those cigars without nicotine and tobacco. I felt this would be a perfect combination if tabex would work for me to quit. I had a huge shock for myself for first time in my life not to crave for a cig. After 17 years and 1-3 packs per day, I`ve quit in 1 and a half day instead of 3 as Tabex prospect said. About my VSG, I had it back in 2008 at the end of January. I have only 1.60m and I had 120 kgs and at VSG my doctor said I had 95kg but he could be wrong if I lied. I was ashamed, I was looking like a little cow. Anyway, all went perfect, surgery, my weight now is around 61-64 kg witch put me under normal category. Indeed I was very hungry until 2 days ago, my doctor said that could be from the fact I quit smoking. Anyway, his only advices was: not to check my weight every day (witch I do lol), not to count calories (witch I do) and to eat 3 meals per day and nothing between them. He said that if I show to my body that I could eat from 2 in 2 hours, the body is asking over and over and this is why I am so starved. I listened him in ... big lines, I still think as an obese, I ate 3 meals and I listen my friend who advised me to reduce carbs. So I ate around 1100 calories, 100.4 Proteins and only 61.4 carbs. It worked for me, I felt only for 10 minutes in the morning some hungry or false acid reflux I don`t know. I took a pill for acid and it passed away. I hope this will work for you too. I still crave for chocolates and ice-creams and any cookie possible (I cook for my bf daily...) but I have my goal, I don`t want to be anymore the chubby girl who used to dress in black clothes and didn`t want to go to beach etc etc etc. I guess you already know the story of being obese... Wish you to be healthy aoa
