Current: 157.8
Goal: 155
I'm pretty much maintaining, which is fine with me. I have my 2 year follow up up in 2 weeks though, and will do a body composition test, so I may change my goal after that.

CW 143
Goal weight is really just to maintain and stay under 145 but let's just say 140

Thanks

I got a veggi spiralizer and make zucchini noodles- sauté it in olive oil garlic and onion powder put spaghetti sauce on it and love it! Got the recipes on Pinterest too.

I actually just took a small backpack with just a change of undies, makeup and tooth brush. I learned a long time ago that I always thought I'd read or do a craft but really when you're in the hospital rest is what you really need. I've heard people say they brought gas x strips but others say they don't work. I'd say less is more. You probably won't need anything.

Im right there with you. I was sleeved on 6/22. I've lost 17 lbs since surgery date and have been stuck at 200.6 since last Tuesday. I'm not eating more than 600 cal per day. I know it will come off soon. It is frustrating though. It will make it appear a little more natural though since I'm not telling a lot of folks that I had wls.
Maybe our bodies are a little in shock from so few calories.

Also think about this. Does anyone ever tell an alcoholic , go ahead 1 drink won't hurt you, ???

If you are an addict, you can't have just one.

Sorry for all my post. I am just so passionate about beating this. I thought of going to AA , but realized they serve donuts......

Sugar addiction is real and it is just as addicting and harmful as heroin and cocaine. There is not a chance in hell that i would ever put cocaine or heroin in my body, therefore I have to look at sugar the same way if i am to succeed in beating the addiction. I truly believe when you change the way you look at food, you CAN beat the craving and the addiction.
I got away from all fast food 4 years ago. Now when i am around it from other people eating it, it does not bother me because it stinks, and its really gross when you think about it. I eat nothing proccessed because the ingredients gross me out. The problem with sugar is that it does not stink, its very sweet and tasty and that alone makes it much harder to get away from. It also hits those pleasure addiction neurons just like cocaine and heroin. Eat some and you want more. Its a vicious cycle.
no one fighting a cocaine or heroin addiction is told, " you can have a little now and then, its ok ,just dont overdue." Sounds totally ridiculous, because it is. You have to put sugar in that category.
That sweet b***h is all around and hard to ignore, but she is truly cocaine and heroins cousin. Remember the disguise she wears and do your best day by day to avoid her. Its very hard but together we can do it.
Tell yourself everyday, (because words are power) I DO NOT EAT SUGAR, over and over everyday. Pretty soon your body will listen to your words and it will get easier.
Yes, we fall off the wagon, yes, we will have times we give in. But just keep starting over and evertime you make another day, count your days, Celebrate when you do just 3 days, then 10, then 15!!!
Lets come here and support each other, celebrate the victories and keep working to break this sugar addiction, because truthfully people,,,,its killing us.

Glad to hear about Goodwill... Tomorrow I plan on giving them 9 huge contractor size bags of clothes that no longer fit me

I love this website. I am planning on attending a live support group this coming week. I think it will help me think about topics I don't look into online. Also it may give me opportunities to make friends locally who have had the surgery. Just my 2 cents.

Omg you look incredible and so quickly!!!! Wow!!! I love the progression of the shirt!

Very nice! Time for a new shirt!

Sometimes I'll weigh myself when I get up and if I don't like it I'll weigh again a bit later and I'll be less.

I WISH!! HAHA no my definition of a holiday is a hotel 2 hours away It did have a lovely beach and only rained on the last day so I cant complain haha! My kids loved the rides! I loved the 3 pieces of zuckini fries I had been dreaming about since the last time I went there, I hated wasting them, we ordered to the room, and I even saved the left over zuchinis till the next day and realised, I better throw them away lol. That was hard! I used to finnish two bowls when I come here lol.

FALSE ALARM lol i weighed this morning i was 216 lol

Lots of variables affect our weight- don't be discouraged. Weigh again in the morning and see if it's real.

Hi June Sleevers! So I was doing pretty good but the last week and a half I have hit a huge stall. Only lost one pound in a week and a half. Before it was almost a lb a day. I haven't changed much. Getting between 700-800 calories a day. Getting 60oz of Water and around 70-80g of protien. Anyone else starting to stall??
