6 Months Out And Off Track



Recommended Posts

I can't get back on track, I have fallen off the Protein wagon. Where has my motivation gone?

I've been off track too, my surgery date was March 6. Today I cut out the carbs (again) and ate sensibly. I also got 20 mins on the elliptical, first time in forever. I really haven't exercised at all since surgery.

Over the past few days, I've been thinking long and hard about where I am. I've lost 45 pounds, and I look "normal" and feel fabulous! But, I didn't go to all that effort to stop here.

I decided that I was on a liquid diet for a week prior to surgery and two weeks after, I CAN start over, drop the bad carbs, and exercise a little because I now have experience with RESULTS that I have never experienced before.

So, I don't know how it will turn out, but I am in the same place you are and today I pulled up my bootstraps...you can too!

I'll say a prayer that we both find our motivation to go the distance!

      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! 😞
