Recommended Posts

I hope everyone had a great Love day yesterday. I had a great day after all, my DH brought me a doz of multi colored roses, and giant red heart ballon, a sexy card and my favorite a gold beaded necklace to my job. I was surrounded by sweets at home from all the treats my boys got from school AND we go to Church last nite and MORE treats were given to us, more chocolates, Cookies and chips, WHAT are these people trying to do to me.:faint: Of course, I have all this stuff at home which will be with us for a while, hopefully my 4 men at home will take care of it:tired

Ok, evil demon dogs have attacked my will power today...I just grabbed a hand full of minature hersey kisses and scarfed them down...I dont know whats gotten into me lately...I guess that I get depressed when the weight loss has slowed down and I tell myself that I might as well have that chocolate, or that half a batter dipped cow bathing in butter cuz its just not going to make a difference anyhow!! Oh well, I am having one of those not feeling good kinda what the heck kinda days

Tann I hope your little men took care of that candy situation at home. LOL

Avilla that's not bad you had a handfull of love. All those kisses didn't add up to much.

MorningFuneral that is wonderful about your new buddy. Did you meet this buddy at the new gym? I think we all go through that moody thing and turn to food. I call it PMS for me.

Turner24 great job on the 3 pounds. I think I am at a stand still right now but I will try not to stress. The next time I have some kisses I will make sure you don't hear me. I don't want to get smacked.. Poowwoooo LMBO

Bandida I'm so sorry. The first thing I did when I first got stuck was panic. I think that is the worst thing we can do. Sometimes we just have to sit still and wait. Do you know what got stuck? If you able to get fluids down just stick to liquids right now.

I am still a bit under the weather. Yesterday I felt like ewwww and went home and went straight to bed. I feel a bit better this morning but not 100%. Yesterday I had a ice cream bar, grapes, cheese, crackers and chicken noodle Soup. I plan on having crackers and soup today.:sick

HOW CLEAN ARE YOU REALLY EATING?one_pot_wonders_200x200.jpg

If you've reached a fat loss plateau, it's time to reevaluate your eating habits, according to Craig Ballantyne, C.S.C.S. We all think we are better than we are when it comes to eating, yet every one of us can eat better.

Take a look at your calorie compliance. Are you getting 90% of your calories from the right sources? Remember, you can't be doing everything RIGHT and still be getting the WRONG results. No workout, no matter how good, can trump the domination of Dominos, the march of McDonalds, or the King of the Burger. You absolutely, positively, must be eating:

a) In a caloric deficit (that means fewer calories in than are needed to maintain your weight)

:) Lots of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables

c) No processed carbohydrates (nothing from a bag or a box)

d) Protein at every meal

e) 5-6 small meals per day rather than 2-3 big meals

f) Fiber-rich nuts as snacks

g) No sugar

That's the definition of good nutrition. Think about this. How fast can you eat a Big Mac, fries, and a soda. 10 minutes? 5 minutes? 3 minutes? Now compare that to how long it would take to burn off those calories (all 1200+ of them) by running. It would probably be the better part of 2 hours. And who has that kind of time to work out?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
