I am starting back to gym now but have to be careful since I am very unbalanced. I started my journey at 250 and went into surgery at 221 I am 158 now and docs want me at 145. I just need to tone my body now. I was sleeved on 5/29

    Azmassage got a reaction from GreenTealael in how much cup size did you lose after a breast lift (not a reduction)?   
    I was told u just loose skin so u should lose cup size as long as u have Breast tissue. They separate the two tissues push your breast tissue up they never remove any of your breast tissue. Then they remove the skin. So it is all based on how much breast tissue u have

    When I saw my surgeon the first time my BMI was 36 when I went in for surgery it was 31. I was sleeved on 5/29 my BMI now is 29. I feel I work hard and weight loss is not like others. I had mine done on a Army installation and my surgeon was stunned at my size at follow up. I reminded him I lost about 30 pounds prior to surgery.

    Many husbands are insecure on there wives loosing weight because they feel you will leave if ur skin. What they don’t realize is that it’s there actions that make us leave. I went through this when I lost my weight naturally I lost 100 pounds and my marriage was very rocky until he got a lot more sex and he was happy. He will belittle you make u feel horrible to try to make u fail and unhappy. I highly recommend marriage counseling because he can be part of the food problem.

    If u ever look at most people meal plans once they can eat normal that is why they do not lose weight. I been YouTubeing people meals and I am stunned. Even though there might be high Protein in certain meats (one girl had sausage) they are high in fat. They also adding whipped cream to everything they can. This is why u don’t see the loss. The ones I have seen lose 100 under 300 are eating fish chicken turkey and veggies. Putting healthy fats in there diet. And keeping up with the exercise routine with lots of weight training. The others just walk.

    Azmassage, I get it now! I know someone that had surgery 2 and 1/2 months ago. They went in weighing 425 and thus far have loss 40. This was perplexing to me... seem like they should have lost much more in almost 3 months. Then today when I was talking about what I'm eating now the person spoke up and said, wow you're eating more restrictive than me. So I said what do you mean, and they showed me there grocery receipt from this past weekend... ! Salami, pasta... all kinds.. like stuffed with cheese such... just all sorts over processed foods and stuff, wine, diet sodas, ice cream, chocolate MILK.. the list went on and on. I'm like some of this is for your spouse right? And they told me no, that was just their food, the spouse buys their own stuff now so not to be a temptation.... ??? The entire time I was thinking, you need to substitute this with that and this with that... but I didn't dare say a word... we aren't close like that, just co workers. So I did ask, aren't you having problems keeping some of this stuff down? and they said at first but they worked through it.... Where is this person's nutritionist? Are they looking at the food logs?
    Now I'm going to stop complaining and thank my lucky stars I am in this long program. Yes it is going to take forever for me to get my surgery but I'm so glad they are giving me the proper eating plans now, making me go through counseling (which I hate) review my weight and food logs every week and all the other stuff. I think some people need that kind of time and exercises before committing to surgery, including me. This person didn't have to do all of that because they went through their spouses plan where it is covered where as we are not covered so I'm having to go through a clinical trial program and there is a lot to do before I can even get final approval for the surgery. So sometimes its good to just be grateful for what God (or whatever higher power a person believes in) has provided you with and stop wishing you had what the other side has.
    I'm just shocked but thought about your post and wanted to say yes you are correct!

    You need to change ur Protein Drink I have IBD (inflammatory bowl disease) and u are having a reaction to the Protein Shake. I shop at GNC it’s a 30 day guarantee. If it dose not work my stomach I return it. I have to stay away from sugar alcohols (which is a lot of artificial sweetener) and anything lactose. I find I handle the vegan Protein much better. I don’t have surgery tell Tuesday but I been trying out tons of Protein Shakes to figure out which works and dose not. I am trying Isopure next they are sugar free gluten free and lactose free and 50 grams of protein a serving. Vegan ones are so expensive. But if I have to stick to it I will. I can’t help u with the hunger except when u get hungry get up and move. Serotonin helps hunger cravings and u get that natural release when u exercise
