How do those of you with full time jobs and young children fit in exercise? I work at 5am to 4 pm and then pick my son up from daycare and have to make dinner, cleanup and spend SOME quality time with my kid who was in daycare all day...I currently work out Saturday and Sunday and my husband watches him then. I set goals to work out after he goes to bed each night but I’m FRIED by then and struggle getting to the gym and back by then.
It’s tough between Mom guilt and take care of myself guilt.
I’m doing great on my weight loss at 2 months post op but I know I will need to increase exercise as my metabolism catches up to me. I even enjoy it- just have a hard time getting it done weekdays.
Any tips? Ideas? Good home tricks?

I went with the sleeve. It’s easily controlled with a PPI, but if I forget it there’s hell to pay. LOL

Think of it as a dimple, just in a strange location. Maybe you could put a small,precious,jewel there later? Just a suggestion.

Yay, fellow Houstonians! I will be following you guys!

I just got my VSG done in Jan from Dr. Yu at the same clinic! They’re awesome!

Honestly I’m not on here as much as I use to be but why are so many trolls commenting on my posts or I see on other posts?
Also what’s up with people who haven’t even had surgery just putting there opinions everywhere and being rude?

We’re not suppossed to have many carbs until 6 - 12 months out. Potatos, Pasta, bread all expand a bit in your stomach. There were a lot of restrictions in the first month. I had grapes a month out as well as other fruit and it’s fine, but with my Protein goals there isn’t much room for it. Alchol isn’t suppossed to be until the 4 month mark.

morning everyone, I’m feeling pretty low today.
I lost 12lbs on my pre op diet, 12lbs the two weeks post op, then 3 and now 2.
My surgeon said it would fall off me but two weeks with a 3 and 2 is hardly falling off!
I thought it would be quicker than this and it’s got me got me down.
I’m drinking well and focusing on eating Protein first so no sure what I’m doing wrong.
Has anyone else found the same?

Congratulations my friend, that makes any discomfort worthwhile. Its almost like a miracle, isn't it?

Hey you
You're handsome!
My diet? I am only (almost) 6 weeks out and I think I am able to eat too much actually
Breakfast 8 oz Protein Shake
cheese stick for snack (80 calories, 10 grams or Protein or something like that)
lunch 5 ounces of chicken (delish, and btw, thank God we're able to have seasonings)
3 ounches of beans.. 1 trianble of laughing cow cheese.. and I've nibbled on this from like 11 am today untilnow 232
Tonight for dinner, I'll probably eat one of those "Creamy creation" tuna packets. Those suckers are loaded with protein. The scale isn't moving though and I'm pretty depressed. It's been still for about 3 weeks, no joke
I work out and swim atleast 5 days a week. I am beginning to think I will be that slim percentage this surgery won't work for
Waa
My name is Joanna. Nice to meet you

41 lbs since August is 10 lbs a month. That's pretty normal for someone at your current weight (if 183 lbs is still correct). My last 50 lbs came off really slowly - took six months.

Glad you found something. I've been using Lane Bryant undies, and loved that I could buy them based on my pant size, rather than the traditional sizes of Hanes/Fruit of Loom, etc...I found a pair I liked and bought 14 of them! Guess, as I lose more, I'll need to start the search once again. Jotted down some of the ones mentioned above.
