Scuppy

Hi, It's been a while since I have posted. I'm below 200 yeah!!!! Going to the gym every other day going to be making it everyday and one day off. Wish there was warmer weather.

not 65 pounds ugh. 35 pounds.

I was sleeved 9/15. I did great with weight loss the first 3 weeks and then I literally stalled for like a month. I finally stopped obsessing about the weight. It's comes off slowly for me but it's still coming off. About 1-2 pounds per week. I was 264 at pre op diet. 259 at surgery and and currently 229. It may not seem like much, but it's 65 pounds in 13 weeks. When you say it like that, it's a lot! Be patient. Stay away from the scale for a few weeks.

I was sleeved 2 days before you and my starting weight was 249 , CW 196. I just got out of a 4 week stall, it was very frustrating. Especially when we are not even 12 weeks post op. Stick with it, keep tracking and stay the course. My stall finally ended and I dropped 10 lbs in 9 days. It will happen to you too????

I often feel ill for 10-15 mins after my 3 bite meal and my husband will always ask if he can get me something to make me feel better (like a drink of water, etc.) and I usually say, can you find the other 3/4 of my stomach and put it back in please? Lol. Or at Thanksgiving, I asked him if I could borrow his stomach. It's all in good fun. I do miss eating, but I definitely don't miss a tight size 24 jeans!

I had a great Thanksgiving. I didn't go crazy. I sampled some special foods. But I grazed and that's the one thing I haven't done since surgery. Today I'm back to my regularly scheduled programming, but WOW I'm hungry!
I'm going to remember this feeling for Christmas. Grazing has side effects!
Hope you all had a lovely day. No regrets here. ????

It just your body adjusting to all the changes. Step away from the scale & stick to your program

I am just so excited and I can't think of any other person or people to share with (as most of my friends and family don't know about my WL surgery). Yesterday I went to see my Oncologist for my 3 month check up after battling Breast Cancer all Summer. Not only was she so happy to see my weight loss and life style changes, as this is essential to the cancer not returning, but my blood pressure was 124/77. I haven't seen those numbers in years. I have been on the high blood pressure border line, and some times over that borderline, for quite a few years. It feels so good to be healthier and be inspired to make better choices. I am exercising and eating so much better. I feel like the surgery has made this so much easier.
Also, last night I went shopping and bought 3 pairs of size 14 jeans. I can get them on, but they are still a few weeks from being comfortable....I will use them for inspiration over the Thanksgiving holiday. Has any one been stressing over the upcoming Holidays? I have. I am struggling with the urge to entertain. Nothing sounds good to cook. Maybe I will do a potluck with my family this year. Any thoughts?
