New Me 2015

Hi jeepgrl
The only advice I can give is work on getting all your Protein in everyday. I stayed away from all carbs until I was about 10 months out. Previously I was a big carb eater so I knew adding them back in may be a struggle for me. Surprisingly it has been easier than I thought. When I eat crackers I buy very thin ones and only eat what a serving size is. If it says 4 crackers I only take 4 that's it. Also no bread for me. If I want a sandwich or something with eggs I have a half of a flour tortilla. Before surgery I had heard that after surgery you don't crave the foods you did before. I was a huge bread and chocolate and candy eater. I can honestly say I'm not now. Never craving them either. Another tip is get in all the Water you can. I'm not a big exerciser. I tried going to a gym but that's just not me. My exercise is walking. Sometimes I can get out once a week sometimes I get 4 times a week. Just depends on how busy I am at work. Don't get saddened by stalls. I had quite a few and some lasted for a few months! It's easy to get discouraged but my Dr told me a stall is your body catching up to all the changes and the weight loss. Some people have a week or 2 stall some have a few months stall. I had the few months stalls! I just kept doing what I was doing. I knew I was eating better and it would eventually start again. I stopped getting on the scale as much and judged from how my clothes felt on me. You have done great so far too! I frequently look back at pre surgery and now pictures. That is a big motivator! I can't even remember being so big. My Dr. Did tell me at my 1 year to keep in mind that my stomach is a little bigger now than when surgery was done. It can stretch so to really watch since as you go you can eat more food than when at beginning after surgery so have to watch that too. I have noticed that I used to barely get in 2 oz of chicken but now can eat 3 oz. I also don't obsess over treats. If I'm at a birthday party I have a tiny piece of cake and I'm ok with it. If my daughter makes Cookies I eat a half of one and I'm done. It's not all the time just on special occasions. It helps me to feel included.
Keep going! We got this!

Great job!

Great job! Looking good!

Congrats!

Congratulations, you look amazing!

Woo Hoo Wed 3/16 was my 1 year since I had my sleeve done!
What a whirlwind year it's been
Starting weight 221lbs
Weight after one year 128!
I have so much energy and am feeling great.
I went from wearing a size 18/20 pants to a
size 4.
Went from wearing a 2X shirt to wearing a small
This was the best decision I ever made

Wow girl you look good ????????

Close to the same starting weight as you. Surgery on 12/16. Down almost 50 lbs. Would you mind sharing some details on your journey? Like when did the loss start slowing down? How long, and often were your stalls?
Would appreciate the insight

I started at about the same stats as you in December. Sw 229 CW 173. You've done great and I hope I follow in your footsteps! Any advice?
