Ladies I need some help here....



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in Aug. 2010, down 200 lbs, still have approx 100lbs to go need some help here. My boyfriend recently proposed 3 weeks ago and we are looking at getting married later next year. Still have 100 lbs to go and weight loss stopped for me about 6 months ago. I have thought about seeing if my new health insurance would pay for gastric bypass (more than likely they would) but I know what i've been through with the sleeve and we are wanting children, don't wanna have to wait another 2 years and then have to be considered a high risk pregnancy as a result regardless of my actual health. My wanting to get down to my goal weight before we get married has nothing to do with him, its what i want. He loves me just the way that I am loose skin and all. What can I do here, I really can't get much help from my surgeons office, I moved for a new job 4 months ago and it is not convenient for me to drive 125 miles one way, may take a while and countless visits; the new nutritionist and exercise lady i'm not to fond of. The ones that were there when I initially went through are no longer there, these new ones, uh.... I moved to a small town in rural Iowa, no health clubs around here, closest is 50 miles away. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats on marriage! I am only five days out but reading these forums has become a constant fave past time. All say the something in your case start over on a two week liquid and process back through to two weeks, purée, two weeks soft and finally back to solid focusing on Protein and liquids daily leaving off carbs, fats, and sugars.

Living on a rual area walking/jogging is the best aerobic excersies but with the cold month you might want to check out some Zumba or palates. YouTube has many 30 min workouts for free if you do not want to buy the DVDs.

I have heard this so many times over the year I have prepared for surgery: "The sleeve is just a tool and to lose weight you still have to do the work to make that tool effective."

You can do this and you will be so happy with yourself when your wedding comes! Keep us posted I know you will be a beautiful bride!

Hello and congrats on your weight loss so far and on your marriage. I have some info but out of fear of back lash, I don't want to post it on here so send me a private msg. I was sleeved 10/11/12 and was losing very slowly and then not at all ao I started looking for ways to boost my weight loss and I stumbled onto something online and started this "diet" last week and since I started, I swear to you I have seen pounds dropping daily. This diet probably goes against your NUT or Dr (I know it goes against mine) but if you are interested just msg me. BTW it does not require any gimmicks or pills or anything fishy AND I am not trying to sell you something. I swear! :) lol BTW, this also doesn't require exercise.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
