Healthy_life

Not selfish to get healthy and treating a disease. You will be modeling this lifestyle for your kids. They will be learning your habits of eating healthy and activity/exercise. One of my NSVs is keeping up with my active 3 year old grandson and 5 month old granddaughter. Congrats on your upcoming surgery.

I'm sorry you are struggling, Many people here have had weight gain. It's not too late. A good start is finding a good therapist to address your binge eating issues. Medication issues are between you and the prescribing physician. If you don't have a dietician research for one in your area.

So this is your weight loss plan above. Have you received different plan instructions for maintaining?

You are not living on protein and vegetables life long. Amen! I would hate to see someone researching this site or new. Thinking that they are only going to eat protein and vegetables life long.

I keep reading posts that people will be eating protein and vegetables only life long. I am curious to know what your dietician basic plan for going into weight maintenance is? Do your basic maintaining instructions look similar to mine? I was told to add low glycemic carbohydrates, Sweet potato, brown rice, whole wheat etc. after I lost 75% of my weight. This is to slow/stop weight loss. Is anyone currently maintaining living off protein and vegetables only?

I hated shopping because it was a reminder of how out of control my weight had become. It was hard to find clothing in cute styles and fit well. It's ok that you are not thrilled about buying clothing. When your clothing is falling off of your body, you know it's time to get another size. Shopping is going to be a necessary evil. You will be going through sizes fairly quickly. Don't invest a lot of money on clothing while you are losing weight. Some shop thrift, second hand and discount stores. I'm curious to see if your feeling about shopping change as you progress out from surgery. Keep us updated.

You are a hottie..... Never behave!

Pretty dang foxy! You ladies inspire me.

I hope I look good and rock my loose skin.

Fantastic weight loss!. You see a difference on-camera with 4 pounds? Things I never knew. This can be that your body has less fat to burn. It's feeling comfortable at your current weight. You can be at a healthy BMI and rock your fabulous self. It also does not mean you have to live here forever. Your body may need a bit of a break before you can get back into weight loss mode for the additional four.

Absolutely no problem with posting health articles. Appreciate the warnings on high protein diets. 60 grams of protein is the same as any other bariatric patient. 60 grams is not a high amount of protein. Right????? You said "I do eat meat. When I do, it's mostly chicken and fish. I very occasionally eat fresh red meat. I get more than half of my daily require Protein from plant/carb bases sources. I eat 60g of protein per day. I'm glad to see that all of us are within a good range.

The enthusiasm you once had fades. Life gets busy. What is your goal right now? Is it to get back on track after a regain? Is it maintaining at your current weight?

Not very expensive in the US for a bag of garlic roasted riced cauliflower. Many people buy or grow fresh and make their own. Cost and choice of organic is a personal decision.

We are all working hard to be healthy. Bariatric patients and people that have never been heavy work on nutrition and fitness. living a healthy lifestyle is to be commended! Not judged and slammed into the ground. Inform of risks but don't tear people down for their experience in this. Don't hate motivate!

So, you are eating the same amount of protein as any other bariatric patient. You would agree 60 grams is not a high amount of protein. Right? Great that you care about other people health. I am a vet. I am not in renal failure or have cancer. Dr's labs and check ups are phenomenal. I'm in the best shape of my life. All of this and I am not on your plan. I have absolutely no problem in informing people about possible risk But, your statements of your plan is the only plan is false.

We get it. You are anti any other food plan but yours. So any dietitians plan that is different than yours is an agenda? Your statement is false. Many of us have proven successful outcomes that our plans have worked long term. Why does it matter to you that it's not your plan? Out of curiosity how much protein do you eat in a day?

You are going to run into many people that are against bariatric surgery. Since this is family, I would tell talk to them about your decision and give them the medical facts. If they are supportive invite them to an appointment or surgeons seminar. If you find that they are unsupportive and negative. There is no need to beat your head against the wall defending your decision. They may change in time after they see your success and how healthy you become.

I cant afford surgery. shapewear works for me. I found a body shaper at ross that you can wear with your own bra. It's very affordable. It's in this style below.

It's a repeated angry rant and a forced eat carb campaign. Some how @Creekimp13 feels none of the rest of us know what we doing. Including all the medical professionals. If it was a thread on why their diet didn't work and they found this as an option (without judgment on other plans) I would have more respect for the original poster if this was an honest talk about plan alternatives Question to the original poster @Creekimp13 Why did your instructions not work for you? How far out were you when you noticed it?
