Is anyone else here a raging crazy B during periods once surgery!? I've never been nuts until this surgery now at period time I'm so emotional and kinda mean :/ although happy to be down 83 lbs. a size 10 might be worth it lol

I've been stuck at the same general weight for like a month. I don't know what to do. I try to track my food on my fitness pal and I don't go over calories (1200). I've been doing Water aerobics twice a week and training on the couch to 5K for the past 6 weeks. I'm jogging for 20 minutes at a time but the scale just doesn't move. What the heck is going on? Should I do strength training, more cardio, eat more, eat less? This is why I could never lose weight on my own LOL, I never knew what to do!

I know once I cut the carbs out and stuck w mainly Protein I started dropping. Carbs and me do not do well. Now, I do have fruit and certain veggies and Beans. I just stay away from the bread, chips, crackers, etc. And strenght training is absolutley necessary!

I'm one of the lucky? ones that never experienced problems with any kind of food. I'm definitely restricted but can easily eat anything. Consequently I find that I have to pay a lot of attention to mindless eating. I'm still happy where I am but realize it would be very easy to fall back into bad habits. I have made many good changes. I eat many more vegetables than I ever have before. Also I had frozen Greek yogurt last night instead of ice cream. I was able to eat a half cup and be happy. I also got 9 grams of Protein. Too much sugar came with it as well but I still count it as a win.

I haven't actually started my periods again yet. I asked about it at my last doctors visit and he said everyone is different and not to worry. At 48 I'd actually be just fine if it never comes back.

Does anyone notice that people treat them better since you've lost a big chunk of weight?? Specifically men hold doors for me, randomly start up conversations, let me cut in front of them etc. haha I mean I am not small (size 14) but its like night and day. :wub:

I agree with you.

Before I always felt like I got the EYES DOWN SILENCE pass by quickly and maybe she won't talk to me feeling. It was like I was invisible!!

That's just wrong!!!!

It just proves the point that the more attractive you are in this society they more you are accepted by others. I'm sure it plays a bug part in every aspect if our lives. From dating, social groups even down to landing a great job.

It's really sad when you think how vein out society is. A persons weight or handicap shouldn't be the first thing we judge people by.

Because we are all beautiful people!!!!

6 month follow up today.

I never know what to ask the man. What are some good questions for a 6 month appointment?

I'm feeling good and weight loss is slow but moving.

My Doctor is not personable he only answers direct questions... Nothing more.

I need questions.
