LeslesLosingIt

eggs. Of any kind. Which sucks because I LOVE hard boiled ones . I'll try again in a month or so. I kept getting sick after eating them and not putting it together...always assuming I ate too fast or too much. Then one day I was like, hey, this ONLY happens with eggs. DUH. haha

I still love a good martini. ????

Thanks everyone! I am feeling better now... it was just seeing no change AGAIN frustrated me first thing this morning. I will try to chill and go with the flow. I'm not great at that..in life or weight loss! haha

I hate to be another "I haven't lost any" whiner and I know it's normal and I know I should accept a stall. But I'm basically so upset at this point I feel like I could cry. I had surgery on 12/28 and since then I'm down about 24 pounds. I haven't lost any in 2 weeks. This week I did start my period (which have been super irregular since the surgery) so I could blame that to make myself feel better, but I don't think that is why. I don't get it. I get at least 90 oz of Water a day. I take my Vitamins, I eat what I'm supposed to, getting 60+ in Protein daily. My calorie intake isn't high. I will do 1-2 Protein shakes a day, tuna for lunch, and something like a turkey burger or lunch meat for supper. I work out 3 times a week. I don't know what else to do and I am so upset. Am I expecting too much? I don't have scales at home, so I weigh at work. I am thinking of buying one to have at home so I can weigh first thing...naked, haha am I grasping at straws here? I should say that the weight I am now is what I weighed all through college. Is my body just like "oh ok, we'll stay here forever again"?? I think my brain is just confused because every diet ever was calories in vs. calories out, and according to that I SHOULD BE losing, but I"m not. Sorry for the rambly rant. I just needed to get it off my chest to some people who would understand.

I think everyone goes through this phase. I know I did. It wasn't immediate but like 2 weeks in I was like OH MY GOD THIS IS PERMANENT... for some reason it just hit me. haha. I'm over that now, and realize that this is a life changing, freaking amazing, life SAVING even procedure that I am so lucky to have had. Keep your chin up, it all get's better!!

Awesome thank you!!

I mean I'm a month out and still hiccup every time I eat..... Assuming that's normal. ????

So yeah now I'm full on SICK. Got a Rx. Now it's so bad that if anything at all not liquid hits my stomach it's instant nausea. I even threw up last night, pure mucus (eeew!!)

It really hurt my feelings, I'm proud that I have had the surgery, I've never hid it. I just felt like she was for some reason being rude or competitive. Like, hey maybe let's not all compete with each other! Let's build each other up! The only person I wanna be better than is myself (total pinterest quote!) haha.

Ok, I will call them tomorrow and see. I may just need to call my PCP for a prescription. I really feel like that's what it is. I just didn't wanna seem crazy! haha or crazier...since I've called them my fair share of times!

I am 27, was just sleeved on 12/28. I have had a ton of people be supportive and that's great! (I tell everyone, no hiding it.. I even have an instagram dedicated to it!) My surgeon even used my age as one of the reasons he thought I'd be so successful. Easier recovery, etc. My problem comes from a select group of people who seem to think that because I'm SO YOUNG (which btw.. is 27 even that young, news to me). They ask me why I would take this step at this age, why not wait until longer and see if I couldn't do it on my own (like I didn't try that, thanks for such great advice!). I'm also not married, and someone had the audacity to ask me what guys would think of my saggy skin... well hell IDK what did they think of my fat? I've never had issues finding a date... so thanks but no thanks. Then comes the "well you know you can't have kids right away" (my surgeon says 2 years). Considering I'm not married or in a serious relationship, and the fact that I'M NOT EVEN SURE I WANT KIDS this shouldn't be a problem! I know I should just ignore these people and tell them to shove it, it really hurts my feelings some times. Just today a girl posted a before/after on facebook and said "did this work the natural way, no pills or surgery for me!". That really hurt. This choice isn't easy. I feel like that was directed toward me. End of rant. Anyone else feel the same?

I find them boring, but I love that I can up the resistance, so I do them. I have a playlist that is exactly 30 min and I MAKE myself finish it... I'll add more to 45 min eventually. I;ve also found watching youtube videos on my phone helps, takes my mind off of staring at the stupid machine telling me how much more I have to do! haha

Yep same. Mine was out about 6 months before. My surgeon kind of acted like it was a good thing. "one less thing to worry about" he said.

Ok, so I have a serious question but I want y'all opinion before I call my surgeon and he laughs at me! I am getting kind of sick, running nose, etc. The issue is I have a lot of drainage down the back of my throat, and it's going to my stomach I assume (? not a doctor here). Anyway, could this be causing my nausea? I haven't had any at all before now, and this morning I ate what I always do and got extremely nauseas, tonight I had one bite of something I eat all the time (just turkey lunch meat wrapped around a cheese stick) and the same thing happened. No fever or anything. Could this be causing it?? I don't wanna call him and look like an idiot if I don't have to!

Ugh thank you!!! I never can get that to work!!!
