How much weight is too much? Do I have a problem? Is this normal?
swizzle replied to Heather1369's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I don't know what the "rules" are on goal weights, but I'm also 5'2" and small framed. I'm currently at 140lbs and my goal weight is 115. If you look at a BMI calculator, for our height, those weight goals are right in the middle of the healthy range, not under or overweight, so I don't see any reason why you should worry about wanting to have a lower goal weight. That said, my simultaneous goal is to feel healthy and happy and completely badass, and I honestly already feel like I've met that goal, so for me I could lose more or not and be absolutely elated!!! You've done a great job losing all that weight and you look amazing and happy and healthy. I say do what you want <3 -
LOVE LOVE LOVE this post! Thanks for sharing!

Clothes Shopping Chaos!
swizzle replied to HeadOverMeals's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm only about 6 months out but I've already developed a nasty shopping addiction! It's SO nice to be able to have options now! -
App for Tracking Post-Op Water, Protein, Food, Exercise?
swizzle replied to gina171's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Ditto. My Fitness Pal is super great and covers all those things! Even better if you pair it with a fitness or step tracker like FitBit! -

Working late, procrastinating on BariatricPal, causing me to work even later..... the circle of life.

Most candid shots of me, throughout my entire life, have typically been mortifying. Lately I've been noticing that I don't hate (even like?) them! THAT is a pretty awesome NSV!! -

Food items that I am scared of..
swizzle replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One has to be VERY careful on the web these days. @Alex has enough problems with rude people, he doesn't need someone being accused of being a pedophile or anything. Geez what is the web coming to these days? Uh oh, now you're on some sort of internet predator watchlist haha! -

swizzle replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with @@OKCPirate that everyone's different... I'm still in the first 6 months post-surgery and have read that this is a good range for this amount of time post-op, but everyone's different! I have dieted FOREVER and since I'm only 5'2" I'm almost always given the "don't go over 1200 calories" instructions, and so that's probably going to be closer to my maintenance calorie range once I've hit goal, but who knows. (My NUT did say that while she does want me to be focusing on protein first and foremost, not ever to go over 1000 calories at this point.) -

@OKCPirate thanks for the tip on the nuts! I'm always trying to touch them (tee-hee, I'm 12!) But really, is a tablespoon smeared over a few apple slices okay? Or is it too much of a "slider"? I'm still kinda figuring stuff out and I definitely don't want to be sabotaging myself! (It should be noted that I do keep track of calories, even though my NUT just gave me a protein/water requirement, and I usually track around 600-800 calories per day and 60-80g Protein.) Thanks!!!
