Wow! How far along are you? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I am 40 and pregnant with my first baby. I am so nervous. I was sleeved 3 yrs ago, and didn't do well at all. Its my fault. I let me emotional control what I ate, and I was never able to get on track. I am very excited about my growing angel, but scared to gain extra weight. I know its possible to get on track and still loose. I just dont know how. Open to any feedback. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Yes! I have learned that you can eat, but just not as much as you use to. So it's important to go through the process if you want success on this journey ????

I have been logging my food, but I haven't been as consistent as I need to be. I am going to look back at the sparks people app. I use to go to the website a lot back in the day, and I am gonna see if I can get some food ideas there. I haven't had any chocolate, and I think I should put some dark chocolate dove squares in the car. I know once I get back into my workouts, I will see my of a chance in my body and that will inspire me to go harder. Let's continue to encourage one another.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to me. I plan to maintain my workouts. More so to make sure that I am consistent. I think that is one of the main reasons I am on this see-saw. I am trying to work on being consistent with logging my food on my fitness pal. And I will do better to focus on my NSV. Thanks so much.

I agree, agree! I must admit, this process has been slow first me, but I am doing way better than I every did with the band. I know that I dont handle stress well, so I have to work hard to find balance, but I always do. And I would recommend this journey.

Hey everyone! I haven't checked in in a while. I have been struggling, snacking too much and not seeing a lot if real movement on the scale other than gain 3 loose 2. I have been swinging with the name numbers for 3 weeks. Since today is the beginning of a new month, I have to do things differently. So my goal is to focus more exercise and counting my protein. Oh and being sure to meet my water intake goal. I pray this month is better than the last. I have also had a whole lot of stress that doesn't help me to stay on track. Life is never promised to be easy, but I wish things would be smoother than they are......

I have never tried the rice protein . Does it seem to keep you full longer than whey.

Hey people! Its been a minute since i have posted. I was sleeved on September 19th, and I have only lost 35. But i have looked at this journey as a blessing. I am 35 less than i have been in a long time, and i know this will get better if I keep working at it. Yesterday I started the 5 day pouch test. I know this is what I need to get back on track. The best is yet to come for me.

That's what I am going through. It would be nice to 3 pounds. I haven't seen my doctor because of my crazy job, so i want to loose as much as I can for me and to show my surgeon I am doing what I need to. Honestly these last 2 weeks I haven't been consistent with my water in take nor working out. I went to the gym 3 times this week, but I hadn't been there in nearly 2 weeks. So I have got to find a way to get my work outs in more consistently. How is your carb intake? I find that keeping the carbs low helps to get you out of the stall. So this weekend it's all about no starches and low carbs. I hope to break through this stall. Keep looking up.

I had many of the same issues. No matter what wls you decide, you will still have a lot of work to do. You need to be mindful of your food choices and exercise is also important. I have had a lot going on in this month and a half. It's been a struggle, but I'm doing my best.

I lost another 6.5 pounds! God is amazing

Thank you

I agree support groups are awesome. Some people need more than others. I didn't tell a lot of people, so support will be essential for me

I feel the same way about the food. I am trying to just do better to shut myself off. I don't know if I am eating too fast or what. Sometimes I give myself more because I feel like I can eat it. However, I will be more mindful because I don't want my weight to continue to be an issue, so i have to do my part. I am full. Not stuff, and I know that is ideal

No weight loss.... 278.4. Well I am not sure if you had the one pound lost. I weighed 2 days last week. So if you have this than its still the same.

I am doing protein first. The issue is, I am coming officially into the solids and I was encouraged to not have a lot of green veggies with bulk. I have been against that cause I know carbs are the devil for me. But I will figure it out. But measure, measure and measure again. In my mind I feel that I can eye ball it, but I guess I can't. Lol!

Thanks for that. I eat a smaller portion than I have ever eaten, but I need to make sure it's always no more than 4 ozs as you stated. Honestly I haven't been doing that. I will change that. I was beginning to eat 2 eggs because I knew I could. I was stuff after, but today I had one and cheese. I was good. 2 hours later I had a shake. Still good. Now I am drinking my Water. Super good. I want to get this 20 oz of water down before I eat anything else. Honestly I think I kinda lost myself. I got scared because I felt that it was too soon. I thought I was doing so well. But I am better today. I got on the scale. No changes today, no gain either. God is good. Cause it could be worse.As for the potatoes, I was told that I could have some during the soft phase. I am coming out of it, and i know it's not good for me. So I will be sure to get sweet potatoes. Thanks for telling me I could do better without just saying it. I am not here to be beat on, but to be helped. I appreciate the love you gave to me.

I haven't been as good as I should with measuring. I will be sure to do more of that. Thanks

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I am measuring my food. I can have potatoes, because I am just coming off the soft food recommendation. I am not stuffing myself, when I am done I don't feel over done, just done. I am not eating til the point that I am in pain, but I can eat more than two bites to be full. I can't say that I felt that long. I will stay that I don't get the full signal as fast as I should. I think that has a lot to do with transitioning from band to sleeve. I will also say that this was not easy for me to share, but I want to get help now. I am not out of control or anything. I haven't gained, but I do have questions. I appreciate everyone that took the time not to just read the comments, but to respond. I am readjusting. I won't say going back to the basics, cause I am still there I am doing Protein first, but I haven't been drinking my protein much these last days. I guess I will continue to work on doing better. I will get the measuring tools out and not just do it all in my mind.

You look great! What was your highest weight? How is your eating now?

Hello! I am 5 weeks post off, and I am wondering am I able to eat too much? I feel that my portion side is ok. Most times when I finish eating I am full, even stuffed. But my meal is still about a fist or more. I don't eat bread, but when I hear people describe their meals I am eating more. Example for dinner I had a small potatoe and a 2 tablespoons of chicken salad added. I was definitely full after. I couldn't add anything more. I didn't drink with my meal. But then I see people with the same portion size meal, and they say "I had 3 bites and I was done." I wonder am I missing my full signal? I don't want to go back to where I was. I am still loosing, but I am a bit worried. I welcome all feedback......
