Sh*t I've Learned From This Board!



Recommended Posts

I love this site! I get all my questions answered and you all have never steered me wrong. My top 5:

#5 milk of magnesia is the nectar of the gods! That stuff works like nothing else. And with no discomfort.

#4. Stalls happen. Deal with it. The weight will come off. It has no choice. I can't maintain all this fat on my current caloric intake.

#3. Plan your meals ahead of time. If you dont know what you are going to eat, you are more likely to make poor choices.

#2. Never trust a fart! That is one I just took everyone's word for. I have no desire to learn that on my own. I trust you all!

#1. If I think it or have a question about it, put it on the board. Someone out there has experienced it before and knows what to do!

What have you learned?

I had read number 2 on this board many times, but somehow I still wasn't quite prepared for it.

Your number 3 is my number 1. Day in and day out, my success depends on knowing in advance what I'm going to eat next, otherwise there is a jack in the box on every corner just calling my name.

What I've learned...

This too shall pass.

Pain , stall, hunger, gas....you're going to be ok. Others have made it through it.

And I'm NEVER alone. :wub:

I learned the value of NSVs. Sometiimes the scales refuse to show how much progress we're making but there are other ways to see we're headed in the right direction. Too tight pants that are now too big or a compliment from an unexpected source.

#3 is where I've failed before so I've already bought my serving containers to freeze meals that I can then pop into the microwave later in the week.

That is very true! The NSV's should have been number one!

      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.

      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! 😞
