Feeling Bitter Sweet!

Soooo... My weight has started moving again, but honestly I'm not ready for it. A year ago I was 259 lbs and now probably by Monday I'll be entering into the 160's.

I can not believe I'm saying this but I'm just losing completely too fast. I mean... I'm successfully tone'n while I go and my arms aren't flab'n in the wind... but my mind is not quite ready for the 160's.

Ok and what's REALLY scary is that I'm ONLY 3 months post op. WTH... The Dr said the WLS helps with a for sure 12 months then your weight loss will stop. BUT.. good golly! How small will I be in 9 more months. I still wanna be thicker than a snicker but right now I'm heading towards looking like Pooky the Crack Head!

Sorry... It's one of those days.

What has your diet consisted as? I was told I'm not getting enough carbs and its slowing me. Any one particular exercise type that has seemed to work? Sprinkle the thin dust my way girlie!! :)

I too hope to have your problem, to be honest.

If you are very worried, might worth contacting your nutritionist, or even your surgeon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
