Recommended Posts

Can't believe tomorrow is the big day...I'm feeling so many emotions right now....my life will have a new start tomorrow...I'm ready for my body to match my brain....it's funny because I've never felt the way I look...I've always felt sexy and beautiful and then I look at my body and it doesn't match...which I've always been told I was curvy and I have a pretty face...but I want to take back control of my body....I'm to young to waste any more years being unhappy...I want to eat healthy and only to fuel my body...not to eat to Celebrate or because I'm sad or happy or as a part of fellowship....if you think about it we use food for everything....having a baby ? Let's eat..getting married ? Let's eat...got a promotion ? Let's eat...bored ? Let's eat !! I am choosing to be the best me that I can be !!! Saying many prayers for myself and all you guys...my anxiety is thru the roof but that's just me :-) so here's to having nothing to eat or drink after midnight....ahh surgery eve !!!!!!!!

I feel the same way. I always tell people I have the opposite of anorexia and think I'm smaller than I am. Lol for example at 235lbs I did a cartwheel the other day and couldn't figure out why I couldn't lift my arm an hour later until I really thought about it. All that weight on one arm is no bueno. I can't wait to do cartwheels without hurting myself. Lol anyway I'm very excited for you. Let us know how you do!

Good luck on your new YOU. It has been great for me. I lost 24 so far and am doing very good on food choices. Just make sure you get enough Protein. That is very helpful when you don't want to feel hungry. I have 3 Protein Drinks a day between meals. It really does work.

Good luck. You will be great. When I am not eating around other people I tell them. " I already ate". They think I ment an hour ago. I know I ate in the 70's, 80's,90's and most of this century.

YOu deserve to be happy. Go for it!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
