mantagirl reacted to Tminus in Weight loss kind of slow
I'm 3 months post op and have only lost 19 pounds - so it could be slower! Part of it depends on how much you have to lose. The lower your BMI, the slower it will be. My current BMI is 32.2, and my weight loss is going VERY slow. BUT, try increasing your Protein and Water. I bumped mine from 50 grams of Protein a day to 60 (trying to keep increasing it) and upped my Water from 50 ounces to 64+ and I can already tell a difference. Be patient with yourself. They say slow loss is better for you than fast loss anyway. Plus you're less likely to have super loose skin.

mantagirl got a reaction from HRHMKB in Clothing changes?
In anticipation for surgery I bought lots tops when Dillards and Macy's were having their 75% off in various sizes (1X, XL, L, and Med). I did this over several months. Once I had the surgery all I would need to buy were a couple pair of slacks and maybe a pair of jeans as I lost. That strategy has saved a lot of money. I have also found that leggings can be worn throughout many sizes with an oversized shirt.

mantagirl reacted to Shell Renewed in Emotional
I had my surgery 6 days ago. Days 3 and especially 4, I was very emotional and moody. I chalked it up to the trauma of surgery and the after-effects of the anesthesia and pain meds. It will pass.

mantagirl got a reaction from Havasumoma in too much, too soon....
That is what I did. I also got Chinese egg drop Soup and strained out the eggs. You are right, canned broth is awful

mantagirl got a reaction from viri87 in Hi, just sleeved!
My surgery was 9/2 and yogurts were fine as long as they had 7 grams of sugar or less. Chobani simply 100 is a good one or Oikos zeros.

mantagirl got a reaction from 4MRB4PHOTO in Emotional
I am a little over one week out post op and have found myself crying for the past couple of days and being very emotional. No real reason for it. Normal? Anyone else?

mantagirl got a reaction from myfatisnotaflaw in Unjury is so nasty
There is a website www.weightwise.com in Oklahoma that I order from. I am getting their "powder in a bottle" Protein shakes ($2.00 per bottle) and I love the chocolate ones. Taste like liquid Cocoa Puffs . You can just order a couple of bottles and try them.

mantagirl got a reaction from jenschubbs in Tomorrow is my surgery :) :(
I am in the same boat sister with the exception that I have minimal health issues associated with my obesity.....and I don't want any either which is why I have elected the surgery. I am scared too. I am already mourning the loss of my relationship and the joy I had with food however it is that relationship that got me where I am today. We will both get through this and fast forward one year when we are thinner and healthier we will why we did not do it sooner. Hang tough and fight through those doubts. You got this.
