Hi Junies! I'm doing ridiculously well' date=' in fact maybe too well...been falling into some bad food habits. Some things like crackers and even candy go down soooo easily. I'm clearly not a 'dumper', so I have to watch the sugar!

I'm vegetarian -pescatarian really, shellfish only- and for Protein I do yogurt, Beans, and nuts mostly, plus one 30 gram Protein Shake in the morning. In restaurants I do well with shrimp, scallops, and mussels. I'm loving eating salad again too, kind of crave it.

Having trouble with getting many veggies in, but once again I think it's bad habits as opposed to them disagreeing with me.

Soooo...gotta work on the food it never ends! Down 68 lbs though![/quote']

I've been getting into bad habits too. Missing lunch, snacking on SunChips, and probably too many nuts. We've gotta watch that!

Me too. Every night for a week or so I've been having three spoon fulls of breyers carb smart ice cream. It only has four grams of sugar in a half a cup and I have no where near that but still. It makes me think I can have all ice cream. Need to break that habit and only have it every once in a while.

How many mg of sodium are you all taking in a day?

I average around 800/900 a day and I am retaining some Fluid but that doesn't seem like to much.

???

How many if you have had lab work done? My surgeon doesn't do it until sometime after 6 months. Don't recall when, but thinking it might be a year. Seems too long to wait. Want to make sure my Vitamin levels are good. My GP denied my request for labs.

I'm going in at 3 months to get all my levels checked. Standard procedure at my practice. Maybe your Bari doc will approve the labs?

My surgeon does labs at 6 months post op. My general doctor did them in August. (2 months post op) but she always does the labs every three moths because of the diabetes

So I had an afternoon movie date today. The guy text me all day about how he was looking forward to seeing me. I got to the theater and he never showed up. I called and text and waited 20 mins before I left. As i sat in front of the theater I couldn't help but to feel like the same fat girl who didn't have a prom date. I have to wonder' date='.will I ever stop feeling like the rejected fatty? Even 100 lbs from now will I still have these same evil thoughts?

That is really shitty...of him! He obviously wasnt worth your time! It has not reflection at all on you; it is totally his problem, and his loss! Keep your head up as there are much more deserving men out there! ♥♥

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
