January 2013 Post Op

This is the same post that i posted in Decmber's surgery group. As y'all know I have neen following your group too.

I am sadly (for myself it's sad) reporting that I'm still losing weight and hit my goal weight (125 as of this morn).. I am definitely too skinny. I have upped my carb intake. I am also forcing myself to eat more in calories. I hate being negative on what others think should be a positive task, losing weight. But then again if we all could lose like we did before the surgery, we wouldn't have had the surgery :-) I am still very happy for the tool that I've been blessed with. Now I need to learn how to gain effectively and maintain effectively while maintaining health; as well as, peacefulness in my mind with everything I'm putting in my mouth. So forgive me for the complaint when all of you are working so hard.

My hard work is definitely coming in maintaining w/o losing. I cant wait to hear more goals reached. Hopefully the maintenance will be easier for you than it was for me!!!! I will continue following and posting; meanwhile praying for everyone that is having the surgery, thinking about having it, or have had it. Meanwhile, throw some prayers up for me in not losing anymore, but in gaining then maintaining the weight :-)

I've been stalled for 2 weeks HELP!! I've lost 132# since January... But have fluctuated between 3-4 lbs I've been working out 3-5 times a wk .... Getting in Protein & taking vitamins/supplements .... Any suggestions? Thinking of doing liquid cleanse ....

So I have lost 120#s and today for the first time at work I had a Protein Drink this morning and then for lunch I had a string cheese and a couple pistachios then a few minutes later I threw it up. I went to my desk sat there a second went back to the bathroom two more times to get sick. The weird thing is I eat the same thing at work everyday. But the frothy mouth just got me today.

Congrats on the weightloss. It's weird how on certain days that the same meals make you sick. Happens to me all the time.

Beating myself up because I'm addicted to candy again. I went 6 months and now it's all over at work I have one or two mini candy bars. Then a couple of m and ms for later. So frustrating. I don't want to be obese again. I hate this love hate routine with food.< /p>

It seems like you have made the first step...admitting there is a problem. I give you credit for getting honest! Now just decide if you want to stay away from the crap day by day, and make that decision accordingly. It wont be easy, but with help, it can be done one day at a time !

I know I go to therapy every week and it's a struggle to come clean but you have to start somewhere.

Here I may have a solution, if you get dumping from too much sugar.? If you do make your self sick from candy so that you no longer want it. I have seen it work for people in my support group. Keep in mind dumping is rough for some people and a wicked deterrent. Otherwise, search for a healthy substitute, like dark chocolate almonds from blue diamond, sweetened with stevia, have Protein better for you than Cadbury or Hershey.
