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'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? 🤷‍♀️
