Gotta Love Harvest Time



Recommended Posts

Had to post this. I've been at a plateau for about 5 weeks now. No fault of the band, it's me. I live in Colorado and it's harvest time here. Corn, zuchinni, green chili peppers, cantaloupe, green beens, fruit of all kinds and the list can go on and on.

For me, this is worse than the Holidays. Only during the Holidays the temptations are truly bad foods for you. Now, it's fresh fruit and veggies. Can't help myself and eat more than I should. I'm not apologizing, I'm probably boasting a little :D

Oh, I'm not gaining any weight, in fact, I think as soon as the harvest is over, I can drop 3-4 lbs in a few days. You know when you get to that point where if you were disciplined for a week you could break that plateau? That's where I am but I don't wanna right now! LOL...

If you're like me, click the LIKE tab. Just curious how many of you out there love natural foods?

TMF,

I love all those delishous foods you mentioned above, especially zuchinni! MMMM.. I rather load up on healthy foods than bad foods. I think you are doing really good and you are extremely mindful.

I almost literally have to sit on my hands to keep away from Jersey fresh peaches, tomatoes and corn!! I know the time is ending for them.. potato chips and junk food, eh.. someone else can have them, but a ripe, delicious juicy peach... to die for!!

LOL, too funny. I am sure many of us can relate.

Post op, while on the liquid phase still, I was dying for the tomatoes that were ripening on my vines. I actually cut a few open and drank the juice out of them ~ man they were GOOD!

I love my summer fruits- strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, nectarines, and so many more!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
