Looked At Old Pictured



Recommended Posts

I Have been eating candy and other food that is not healthy and will cause me to gain weight. I was sleeved July 10, 2012 and have lost 50 pounds. Looking at my old pictures before surgery rinds me of why I had the surgery. I need to remember it is a slippery slope for me to eat sugary and fried food. I need to get back on track.

Oh please tell me that some of the cravings for sugar go away after surgery. I am hoping that I will not crave it so bad after my diabetes is gone Hopefully. Please get back on track. You don't want to be that heavy ever again. I hope I have the strength to do the same after surgery.

I saw this problem over the weekend. It's my TOM and I work long shifts. I ended up eating a lot of pretzels and I was so disappointed in myself. It was the old, mindless eating. I recommitted myself today.

try to focus on the journey that brought you here and don't let that work be for nothing.

I honestly don't think never should be in anyone's vocabulary because it will likely set you up for failure. If you deprive yourself, you may just lose control. But you need to think about the choices you make and exercise for the slips or treats you might allow yourself. try measuring sweets in a different unit. how many minutes of walking does one cookie equal? stuff like that.

I am in the same boat. I am so close to the 100s. I just keep sabotaging myself by eating a little nibble of junk here and there. Today I had chocolate milk. I got to quit it! I even felt gross after having it. Sugar does make me feel gross now. I am going to tell myself that next time I want something sweet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
