Sleeved April 8 down 70 pounds

Well I don't have kids and my husband is out of town so I spend alot of time at the gym and I watch everything I eat. My family gets bad at NE because I refuse to eat any bread they say that I make them feel bad because I won't give in. But its more because I want to get the weight off and I want to stay away from everything that I loved for as long as possible. I meet this nurse who has the same surgery as me she was so very nice and she told me use the sleeve as a tool don't rely on the surgery alone for weight loss and that's what I have done. I've really worked hard for those results and I am starting to feel so much better about myself. I can't wait to see what I will look like a year from now.

It gets a little easier but really you have to change your way of thinking. This surgery is not something temporary but permanent, for the rest of your life. I completely understand about wanting to drink rather chug Water it's what I miss the most. But I've learned that it's something that I just can't do anymore so I find myself every minute of the day with either water or a poweraid zero in my hand. I drink all day long and I give myself a break about 20 -30 minutes before and after I eat. Everything you did before your surgery I'd history there is no turning back so look to the future and teach your self new habits and I promise you it gets easier. But if you keep dwelling on the past and thinking about the things you wish you could do and used to do it only makes this journey harder. Keep your had up and good luck!!

I found an old picture from last October & what a difference. I flew to New York 2 weeks ago and it was an awesome feeling because I was always to embarrassed to fly because I was afraid they would tell me I was to fat. So when I got on the plane I almost cried when I buckled up my seat belt and had to tighten it because it was way to loose. I sat comfortably in my seat and didn't feel like I was overflowing into the sit next to me.

Thanks everyone!!! It's hard to say if I stall often because I stay away from the scale!!! At the beginning I would weigh myself every day morning and night but then I started getting obsessed so I had to stop. Now I weigh myself maybe once or twice a month. But I can really tell in my clothes I bought a size 18 pair of jeans the day before I left to new York and today those jeans are too big on me. My advise to you is work out everyday atleast 45 minutes of cardio eat only food that had nutritional value for your body (lean meats, veggies, fruits) stay away from sugar (except natural sugars like fruit) I don't drink sodas or alcohol I don't eat candy (my favorite) and when I eat I serve myself on a child plate. Sometimes I over serve myself on that child plate but I eat slow and before you know it I'm full and have to throw away food because I can't eat it. So make sure you are paying attention to your serving size. Bad habits are sometimes hard to break but it gets easier just have Yup find away to make it fun for you. Good luck everyone and happy losing!!!!!

Congratulations to you! Keep up the good work!

I went thru several stalls, increasing my water intake helps. It is hard to getting in in the beginning but in time you will be able to drink more. I am nine months out and have reached my doc goal and fifteen from reaching my goal! This journey is so exciting you can do it. Sometimes, I drink high protein ensure 25 grams of protein. I like vanilla flavor better.

Looking good keep it up......

Do u workout ,how do u get Protein and Water in and do u stall alot ,IM 8weeks out and I seem too stall every two weeks u have any tips

That's wonderful. I like reading posts like this one.
Congratulations.
