Gotalose

I have desk job. Surgery on Thursday and back to work on Tuesday

The holidays were hard but back at it on 1/2. Getting ready to hit the one year mark and would like to hit onderland. I started at 314 and currently sitting at 219. A Keto approach always gets me going I just hope I continue going down

You are doing great! I started at 315 and I’m stuck around 236. I need to get on program and really focus on what I’m putting in my body. Def not getting enough water nor protein

If you could see how much hair I lose daily you would be amazed I’m not bald It’s everywhere! I try to get it all out at one time so I localize where it falls. I am 8 mos post op and I think I’m finally slowing down and see new hair growth. Interested to see how it comes in. I don’t think my gray hair is as noticeable as before but maybe just because it hasn’t grown back yet

Had sleeve Jan 2018 and down 80lbs (315 now 235). I follow the rules about eating and drinking and no carbonation but have eaten what I want just a lot less. Haven’t gained but haven’t lost in the last month. I know I need to get back on Tracy but feeling on lost on where to begin. Do I go to liquid or straight protein? How do I “reset”. I’m ready to do this. Stuck in the middle of hurricane Flo so plenty of time to reflect and get myself in order. I’m ready to do this... again Any help and encouragement is appreciated. Thanks!

I was sleeved in Jan 2018 and I have lost 80 lbs (315 now 236). I have not been following the program like I should have for about 2 months I never drink and eat and I never have carbonation but I do eat what I want, just far less than I used to. I would really like to get the ball rolling again. Just curious if damage could have been done on stretching stomach or if that is something that takes years not months. I have not gained wait but been at a stall for about a month. Any help or encouragement would be helpful. We are in the middle of hurricane flo so I’ve had plenty of down time to assess my situation

How is everyone doing? Anyone want to share updates?

how are you doing now? looking to see where most people are after surgery in january

how is everyone doing - I've had a rough time but still down 43 lbs since surgery but feel like I could use help with what everyone is eating. I need convenience food so I stay away from the kitchen. Any suggestions

I was sleeved right around the same time and I'm having a horrible time finding things to eat. Meals just don't work out for me so I find myself picking everything. I think what threw me for a loop is a month after surgery the hospital called me and basically told me to not get any protein or liquid from shakes or artificial protein. I have lost 35 lbs since surgery and 45 since 1/1 and I'm happy but really feel like if I can get an idea of what people are eating I can try to plan my days out better.

Had the procedure end of January and only told my husband and mother. Both are very supportive and I'm sure others would have been as well but decided to just tell them. I have 2 teenagers and didn't tell them. Luckily for me I had my gallbladder out at the same time so everyone thought that is why I went in for surgery. I only stayed in the hospital one night so it wasn't a big deal at all. I had surgery on a Thursday and was back at work on Monday and even went on a girls trip weekend 2 weeks after surgery (something I wouldn't recommend - I was way too exhausted) I've lost 45 lbs since January and contribute the weight loss to Lowcarb prior to gallbladder surgery and then being scared to eat after having gallbladder removed because how food might affect me while I'm out. Good Luck - my only recommendation is if you keep it a secret truly try not to tell that many - you don't want to put them in an uncomfortable position if someone ask them.

Yes, please post menu. I’m struggling also. I’m five weeks out and having a hard time with food, protein drinks and water intake. Not to mention the hospital clinic keeps telling me not to drink my protein. They want real protein. No shakes or powders. Ugggg

I’m 5 weeks out and at my 2 week appointment my Dr was more surprised I was trying to take vitamins than me not taking them. I think he knows how hard it is to do all of this at one time after getting sleeved Two things that stuck out when we met were him saying you usually have enough nutrients in your system for almost a year and that we didn’t have gastric bypass we had the sleeve so our body is absorbing what we are eating. With that being said I go back on Monday and that’s when things get real for me because that’s when he starts me on my program for the rest of this journey

I couldn't stand the crushed pills. I'd rather not taking anything than to crush the pill. My doctor said as long as I could stand it he was okay with me taking the pills whole. I just break it in half and take it with pudding and its all good.

I'm sure whatever I'm going through is just my body adjusting to the rapid weight loss of the first 2 weeks. Actually didn't have any weight loss my first 5 days and then bam... 20 lbs were gone. I'm happy were I am just wish I didn't feel like crap. I had the flu last week and I would have thought some lbs would be lost but I guess not. I'm going to "step off" the scale for awhile and see what happens after that.
