Oneyearout

I do journal what I eat. Sometimes if I'm real active that day ( working in yard) I forget to eat lunch so I might have a bite of cheese. Days like that I forget to put in my journal the cheese. I use Baritastic app. I like it

I do keep track of what I eat, exercise every day and drink 96 oz of Water. Lots of Protein, no bread, no potato, no Cereal, no sugar lots of veggies, yogurt is the only dairy except a little cheese once in awhile. It's worth it all to me. This for me was a start but I have to stay focused on my new lifestyle. Never was overweight until around 45 years of age. Now I have more energy, happier, can look good in my clothes again. Hang in there, do this for YOU. It gets easier I promise.

CONGRATS!!!! Way to go, I KNEW you could do it. Start enjoying all the compliments!!!! Keep up the great work the best is yet to come!!!!!

Also try Damron Yogurt for Breakfast only 80 cal and good Protein. I like Turkey jersey too. Not much calories, and it helps my salty cravings.

DONT GIVE UP... Don't I meant.

Just keep remembering you have lots of folks who have already gone on this journey and are doing great. We know what you are going through and we are here to encourage and support you. Do give up and remember how healthy you are going to be!!!! Follow doctor's orders and start making good healthy habits. Drinking lots of Water, walking, healthy food choices! YOU can do this!

Had the sleeve.... really had no trouble at all. First evening of surgery a little sore but that is all. Really didn't feel like eating much. Followed my doctors orders to a tea. Jogging 4 miles a day now, still drink 96 oz of Water, always have my Vitamins. Feeling great. Hardest thing now is everything I try on at a dress shop fits, that hasn't happened since I was in my 20s!! Energy out the roof. Small steps and don't give up. YOU can do this and you will be so happy you did.

I agree with Kim listen to your doctor.

Hello Newbie how you doing now?

HELLO Amy Jane OKC!!!! Im in Oklahoma and saw dr Walton. YOU will love the folks where you are going. Heard great things about Dr. BROUSSARD!! One year anniversary this month. Passed my goal lost over 100 lbs. keep me posted!! YOU can do this friend!!!!

In those meeting if you don't want to talk I don't think you would have to. It does help to listen to others tho. Good Luck on your journey. You can do this and when you reach your goal, I bet you will be talking to lots of new friends. After my 100 lb weight loss I feel so much better, you will too. Keep us posted.

Never had that problem. Are you getting all your Water in and how about Probiotics, are you taking them? Hang in there.

I am hooked on Dannon yogurt for breakfast in morning. Only 80 cal. Make sure you drink your Water, Protein walk and so on. I have NOT talked to anyone who wished they had not done the surgery. I year out lost 100 lbs feel better then I have in years. I know you may be nervous but I know down the road you will feel so much better you will be glad you had it done. Good Luck Newbies keep us posted and congrats on your new journey.

YOU BET IT IS. Stop being so negative sweet girl. If someone says you look good smile and say thank you! Then believe it!!! You are doing great and deserve the compliments. I too am a size 8 but do have excess belly. Looks great with jeans but not so good naked but only my hubby and myself sees it. I feel better and at 62 is saying a lot. Feeling healthy has no age.

Hello??? Miss Carol you doing ok. Please keep us posted. You can do this.

I craved salty things too. Turkey Jerky saved me. 62 years old had surgery one year ago this month. Lost 100 lbs passed my goal and still doing good.

Totally agree with all of you. One year out this month. 62 years old, passed my weight goal, lost 100 lbs. didn't want to tell anyone but hubby till after surgery. Feeling great. I too have trouble at night wanting to eat. I have to make a serious effort NOT to buy that stuff. Not anything Snacks unless it's celery, carrots fresh veggies. My only dessert is sugar free pop cycles 15 cal only. Best thing I ever did. I have started writing everything I put in my mouth down, that seems to help. I would love to hear how you all are doing since you have been on this journey longer then myself. Keep up the good work!

Well said. I'm 62 had sleeve done a year ago. Passed my goal weight, lost over 100 lbs. feeling great and only my husband and children and a couple of good friends know. I didn't want them to try and talk me out of it and I'm private and just didn't want to have to explain it to anyone. Being healthy has no age!!!! I LOVE GETTING MY SLEEVE!

I'm new to this site and my heart goes out to Valentina. I hope and pray you are doing well. Age 62 and 1 year out. Lost 100 lbs and feel great. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope your journey has been a new start for u.

WAY TO GO!!! Isn't that the best fun buying clothes now. 62 and one year out lost 100 lbs and feeling great. Passed my goal and still losing. Jogging 4 miles a day. Best thing I did for myself was the sleeve!!!!

Congrats Maggie's mom!!! Way to go. Don't you feel great enjoy!

Be sure and drink your Water. 96oz a day or more is what I do. I'm 62 and lost 100 lbs in a year. Had sleeve a year ago this month. I also when I need to use Miralax in my water it helps when needed. I didn't tell anyone about the surgery except hubby. I didn't want people to try and talk me out if it. Now only my children and a few friends know. It isn't anyone's business unless YOU want them to know. It's as if someone says what a beautiful smile you have are they capped? Or what beautiful eye lashes you have are they fake. Doesn't matter how you do it it's still work and you need to be proud of your journey. I am so glad I had the surgery and I promise it will get better.

I'm 62 and 1 year out. Lost 100 lbs running 4 miles a day and feeling great. I'm afraid I'm not eating enough protein... when you all say eating 60 Protein are those shakes or food like eggs meat? ??? What is some protein you are eating?

Love the hair. I'm ready to stop coloring. Ha! If mine would look like yours I would do it tomorrow!!

Good Luck jnemec, hope all goes ok with you. I have Blue Cross in Oklahoma and had to wait 2 months for approval.
