I need someone to tell me



Recommended Posts

Two things I would like to add.

Rule#1- As we all already know- you must eat to lose. Keeping your metablism working all day long helps to burn calories.

Rule#2- step away from the stuffed olives. They are so loaded with salt its incredible. (they are my downfall also) So that one pd you speak of could so easily be Water weight. If you gained 4 or more I would worry but all bandster go & down. Its normal.

Mel Anne -- if you feel like the burgers, fish etc are more than you can do right now (physically or psychologically) give yourself a break. Use the Protein Shakes etc. Protein will help you LOOSE weight! It is better for you and will get your metabolism going. Drink the Water, eat the protein....if your body doesn't get a certain amount of both, your weight loss will actually be SLOWER, and you will not be healthy. Not eating is not the answer. You are doing GREAT and you just need a little more patience.........hang in there!

MelAnne i am like you i cut back on food when i don't lose but i use the scale to movate me. If i'm the same then keep working hard to keep it that way. If gained a lb then cut back on what i eat. I was banded in Feb. and only have lost 20 and work out hard walk 5 miles and work with weights 3 days a wk. So be happy 19 lb. but i understand it is hard not to see the scale move in the direction down.

Hugs, Mel Anne!

Just remember, you have had a lifetime of bad eating habits. They are well ingrained...

Even after a surgery, you don't just wake up one morning with new, good habits.

You are going to make mistakes during this process of re-learning how to eat. Plan on it. Pounds will be lost with the occassional gain.

Take a deep breath and keep on learning.

Good Luck! You will be ok. I promise.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
