Ms skinniness

I have totally messed up. I am craving sweets so bad! I have a ton of head hunger going on. And I have been eating a little more than usual. Fearful of getting on the scale tomorrow morning. But will get back on track first thing in the AM. Oh, my hubby bought a bag of Pepperidge Farm Cookies and I ate them so he wouldn't. Also ate a stupid cupcake my kids left on the counter. So BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

I love this kind of obsessing ! It is such a great journey to better health!

Fantastic! You rock!

congrats!

It's really important to make sure your eating at least 3 meals a day to keep you metabolic rate up. Eat protein, protein, protein, and veggies. Keep the carbs low and get some exercise. You will do just fine. It might take you a little longer, and maybe not. At least your skin will have more time to adjust!

Seven months out and I have stopped losing my hair finally! Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I started taking biotin and silica and have hair growing where I don't want it to grow. LOL But I have a bristle head where my new hairs are growing back in. Their about 1 inch in length. Love it! So happy to grow hair!

Looking good!

Happy B-day! I have trouble drinking water so I mix half low calorie G2 Gatorade with some water and it is a lot easier to drink. In fact, I was about to get more fluids down and it gave me more energy.

I had a lot of head hunger for Taco Bell. But when I broke down and bought a taco, it was the most disappointing taco I had ever had. I found it to be repulsing and have no desire to eat there again. Oh, I couldn't believe their taco's were 99cents. So over priced for nothing. Hummmmm. I use to eat these all the time. Could they contribute to weight gain? TACO BELL bad food! No Taco Bell for me. LOL

Pdxman hit it right on the nail! I only put the most nutritious food in my stomach. I eat protein first, protein second, veggies, and maybe a bit of potato if I have room. I can barely get a few bites in at 7 months post op. Oh and I love my Premier protein drink. It's so easy on my stomach and when I'm full, I'm full. My whole family drinks them including my extended family. Stay with the basics.

Remember, you can't lift anything over 10 lbs. So if you have to lift her, then please wait. Hate to see you hurt yourself.

Soon! Let your incisions heal and take it slowly. No driving when on medications for pain. Enjoy your new sleeve. Welcome!

The straw makes it easier for me to get more fluids down in a shorter period of time. I have no discomfort. Maybe the no straw is slanted towards the RnY procedure. LOL

You really need to get more protein in. Have you tried the Premier Shakes? They are delicious. Look on youtube.com and they have recipes using protein powders that are delicious! Protein is a vital must to help your body maintain muscle and for cell repair. You eat more protein and you will lose more weight. I know it's hard but this is for the rest of your life. You can do this!

In my professional opinion, it is time to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with him. On of the issues that is on the table right now is that if your not physically attracted to him, meaning you get get aroused by looking, that's a complete deficit. If when you first met and you experienced that arousal, then that's a plus. If you have never had that arousal by sight in the beginning, you will not experience that now. However, I do hear that you are kind of repulsed by his inability to take care of himself. Tell him that this is a deal breaker for you. See if he gets motivated and starts to take better care of himself. I get repulsed by my hubby's eating large quantities of food which affects his diabetes. I keep telling him to eat less and I bug him about his blood sugar levels. I even have him go walking with me when he can. One of the things I highly recommend is that you talk with him about going to some kind of counseling to help address these issues. They will not disappear on there own. This is a tough decision to make, but without the proper help, your relationship with him will end. If you have any questions you are welcome to PM me and I will do my best to answer them. Relationships are the most difficult to keep going. Hang in there, you have done a great job taking care of yourself.

Anakin, why would you do that? Drink while eating and have the food pushed through your stomach? I avoid this at all cost.

You rock! This is totally inspiring me also! Thank you so much.

You guys will be really close to goal by Xmas! No worries. Just follow the sleeve rules and keep all carbs really low. Eat a lot of proteins and omega 3 rich foods. Drink a lot of water too.

I was totally constipated. My stools were really hard so I started using fiber supplements. They helped somewhat so I switched to Colace at night. That really helped. I even started eating some foods with fibers and that was beneficial. Its getting a lot better now.

Wow! you lost 27 lbs! That is fantastic! Congrats and have enjoyed you input. Thank you for being there for me in my rough times.

This is a fabulous roller coaster and very expensive toooooooo! All good! CONGRATS!

We all lose at aur own pace! You are a success and yes, it's working!

OMG! This is a really big NSV! You look awesome! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

This is a turn around. How ever, many many individuals end up with an eating disorder like anorexia because the only control that they have in his/her life is what they put into his/her mouths. It is such a dauble wammy. How about controlling the healthy foods you put in your mouth. Like no sugars, low fat, high protein foods. I have been really good at this until yesterday. My FIL passed away and we are getting things ready for his funeral. The only thing at their house was high carb foods (comfort foods). So I ate it bc I had to go see a client at my office. So frustrated with myself. Today is a new day and I will eat healthy. Meaning, I am only going to put protein in my mouth. No to little carbs. This is how I will correct my inbalance.

I would definitely call the DOCTOR!
