pupichupi

Pupichupi i like those words, I am going to remember that while going through this, I am two days of my pre liquid diet and surgery is Monday. How is everything with you?

In another context I've heard the term "Never judge my insides by other peoples outsides". Same sentiment I guess.

Thanks Lenny that's true!! Cupcake congrats on finally getting here I know it's been a while since we have talked! I'm good I had a rough go at first but now I'm in a groove and getting there, can't wait to see results after I get my ok to start really working out???

We're all coming to your party ! Congratulations !

You will make your '0's' I have not doubt about it. I have one more pound to hit my next one and then it's on.

Thanks pink your more than welcome!!! @BladeFox I have no doubt you will hit yours too I know you can do this!!! I love hitting "0's"!!! Its so great!!!

Wow! That is so amazing. Congrats!

Oh ok???? Never heard of it?

Non-Scale Victories...oops!

LMAO thats a big difference!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies!!! I like the whole making small goals they are easier to accomplish and it makes me feel good when I hit those smaller goals. I look forward to having the end goal but the little ones in between make it easier to get to that end place I want to be.

Pictures please!

Lol, blade, I took some I just haven't gotten a chance to put them up, I will though!!!

@BladeFox I posted those pics and a couple more!!!

Blade I am, I am just going to start switching things up a little too, and walk every other day and then on the days I don't walk do weight training and situps and stuff like that!!!

How many days post op?

@sotabee I am 3 months and 1 week post op!

Thanks, I has been a long year of ups and downs but as of Thursday I am 1 year post-op!!! I am very happy with my progress in 1 year!!!

CONGRATS!!!

wow!! time flies!!

Exciting!

I know right!!! I'm looking forward to hitting both those goals!!!

Amazing!

Thanks Everyone, @BladeFox, I know what you mean about digressing, I feel like there are times where I do this also, I need to get back in the game of eating right and working out more. I have been so lazy lately that i barely work out if at all? I am so freaking tired running from work to football and sitting in the cold at football at night, I just have no desire to work out?

Congratulation's. I am so happy for you. Keep up the good work

Hi Moni_0330 I as well am anxious, not so much nervous, but I think that's because I had the lapband prior to this so I pretty much know the way it goes, I might get nervous that day, but we will see. I am just really excited!!! lol, Well good luck to you too, keep me posted how your doing!!!

I originally came to the information seminar with the intention of getting the lap band. So glad I'm opting for the sleeve. Cant wait to see your progress. Dont forget to post pics!!

Moni, I definitely will as I love seeing others pictures so I am definitely going to post to show success to others who are starting out like me. I actually had the band, and I am going bypass, cause I know I am very self destructive, and if I know I can get the sleeve now and still have one more surgery to go to bypass I will do something to sabotage myself??? So going straight to the last resort. LOL

Wow! That's fantastic!!!

Congrats!

Wow!! that is incredible!! congradulaions

Going to Cape Cod again this weekend!!! We are leaving today at 4 and I think we might stay till monday??? I took monday off??

That's nice. Where on the Cape?

Sorry Teachamy, we go to East Falmouth, though we took a drive down to P-Town this time, drove down the coast and it was awesome!!!

It does, and I am very excited!!!

Wow and WOOT!

wow!! congrats!!

you've come a lllllong way baby !!!! GOAL is great - maintenance is hard work, but you can do it !!!@ congrats kathy

Yeah I don't know how long it will take my brain as I have been at my goal for about 2 months and still I don't feel it mentally???? I also don't do a whole lot of shopping???? LOL I hate shopping even now???? Thanks @proudgrammy, it has been hard work getting here and I know it's gonna remain to be hard work to stay here, and I fully intend on putting in that work to stay right where I am!!! I am not letting myself go back!!!

Hooray! I used to hate shopping, now I love it for the very same reasons as you!

Yeah I know what you mean, I wouldn't settle just cause I wasn't loosing. I decided on the bypass because when I was talking to my doctor he was trying to get me to do the sleeve, and he said if I don't loose all the weight and or it didn't work for me I could still go through and have the bypass? So at that point I was like why am I going to put myself through all that and so I just went straight for the final product and got the bypass. I am not going to go through one surgery and then have to have another one cause I couldn't loose all the weight on the first one? That was not my deal. I am very happy with my outcome, not everyone has the same outcome though, so just cause I did doesn't mean anything? I just really stuck to it and got to where I am now and I still stick to it. I have my little slips here and there but the sugar is out of my life forever. I don't mess around with that, I hate how it makes me feel and I don't want to deal with that?

Thanks for that insight. I knew that with the bypass that sugar was out forever for most bypass people and I had tortured myself with the Atkins plan long enough to realize that saying no to certain things is not up my alley. I have to be able to slip without it making me sick, I mean I still get sick with fish, bread and oil, but a finger down the throat seems to do it most times. When I was on Atkins, I gave up sugar and when I got off, I needed it like a crack head. That wasn't the route for me and the bypass wasn't and probably still isn't. I just wish I had the motivation to get all of my weight off like I started off with. I lack motivation. I haven't gained an ounce, but stuck at where I left off due to lack of motivation. I think it will come back when I have had enough, just not there yet and still going through a lot of employment stresses doesn't help either. Can't wait to get my head in the game again!

You will get there, just don't let yourself go back to where you were, cause then the motivation really won't be there? I have been lacking motivation lately too, I don't know why, I don't go to the gym anymore, I don't get out and walk I go home from work and just want to crawl into bed and stay there for the night? Im not depressed or atleast I don't feel it, I just am always tired lately? I don't know what is wrong with me and but I did just go to my thyroid doctor and she upped my meds and that is making me feel wicked hungry the past few days but that is cause the meds are making my matabolism ramp up? I am wondering if that is why I am tired too though? I don't know. Bypass isn't for everyone and the whole sugar thing I am actually happy about cause that was my biggest issue? So now I just don't even bother going near it. I can have a small small bite but nothing bigger?

So glad to know that you are healing up nicely Pupi. I feel like getting in the gym and doing weights but my Dr., says not until 6 weeks. Are you doing any weight lifting?

Not yet, I need to though cause I don't want arm wings, and I don't want to have skin removal on my arms cause one of my arms from elbow up is all tattood and I don't want to ruin my tattoo, but I am going to talk to my doc as soon at my next appt. and ask cause I know I had to wait it out for a while cause of my incision opening up but I need to start toning too!!!

You sure do lady! You have been through a lot, let's see... going back to work early and back to a butt crack boss, staple issues that left you raw and open, no real me time...YEA, I would say that you need a break! Have FUN!!!

Thenks girls, I really am going to enjoy this, and I need it so badly!!!

Have fun girl! Its alot going on and so fast. Just relax and enjoy!

Congratulations! You are doing great.

pupichupi thats great time flys when your having fun congrats on your weight loss and continued progress. Keep us posted on your progress I will be three months out on the 19 of this month , cant wait to meet with my doctor as well as the end of this month.

@Cupcake I don't have a stress reliever??? I need one and wish it could be the gym but I just don't have the finances to afford the gym right now?

Pupichupi. Do you like walking , you can walk around your neighborhood or perhaps the mall, look into your community YMCA they have excercise program as low as $2.00 dollars per month. I hope this helps.

@Cupcake, Thanks I didn't know that about the YMCA? I will do that!!!

Awesome….congrats to YOU!

Two snaps to the left!!!!

That's great to hear so far I'm 5 and 1/2 weeks out and I'm down 50 pounds I am loving the new me and can't wait to loose more weight,
