July 2019 Surgery Siblings Post-Op
JAKE H replied to Mom_of_Chaos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As far as diet goes, i stuck to a good plan and for the first six months i had a protein shake for breakfast and lunch with a couple of protein based "snacks" (cheese stick, a serving of jerky..etc) and then for dinner it would be some kind of meat and veggie. The weight will come off regardless. i wasnt try to do it fast, Ive just become obsessed with the gym and working out. I started crossfit two weeks after surgery and i havent stopped. I also took up running. Just ran a half marathon two sundays ago. I wanted to get a good relationship with working out because i know the honey moon phase will end and i can eat more eventually. So, i know if i continue to exercise and add good foods to my diet ill be successful in the long run. So i guess the way i did it, is by relearning the true value in food and by setting up a plan for the rest of my life. I cant believe how fast time has gone. Im loving every second of it tho. I have days where i feel down when everyone at the house is snacking or everyone at my office is celebrating with beer and pizza. But then i look in the mirror and remember i use to hate who was looking back at me. And now every time i see myself i almost chuckle a little bit. Like thats actually you dude. Where im at today was well worth skipping the cake and pizza. But dont get me wrong, once in a while you gotta try a thing or two or youll go insane. lol Find that balance and live there. SOrry for the long response. -
thank you!!!

Well after two back to back days to make sure the scale wasnt tricking my eyes, i am officially under my goal weight of 215, weighing in at 213 on the dot this morning. I know my weight loss journey is far from over, but to finally be under a number you use to think was a pipe dream has a good feel to it. Im very proud of myself and ready to continue to transform my body. TONE TONE TONE now. But im very excited for my future. I couldnt say that a year ago.

i just hit goal yesterday actually. And i lost another pound since then. Im not sure where it will stop. But im already eating 1300 cals a day and cant really get much more in right now. So im sure ill get close to 200 when its all said and done. Maybe less. But overall i feel amazing. -

thank you! Im trying to work on it. I feel great. And im proud. But still think like the old jake as far as dating goes i guess. All good though. I know it comes with time. I was overweight forever. i never once was thin. So 27 years of thinking one way. Ill get there, thank you so much. -

Regarding your first post, that makes a lot of sense. And on this trip i actually had pizza for my first time and chicken quesadilla. I sat there wondering if i should feel guilty or not. At first i did...and then this morning i got on the scale and was still down a pound, and if im truly being honest with everyone, it for some reason brought a tear to my eye and i got hit with a wave of emotion. Almost like a weight was lifted off my shoulders that im ok and im doing very well. and yes, we started dating after wls but i knew her a long time. The food thing was a issue once in a while. I wish we would have waiting but everything happens for a reason.
