December 2013 Sleever Pounds Lost Log



Recommended Posts

HW 320

CW 283.5

Seems like I stall for two days then lose two pounds, then repeat. That's a cycle I can deal with. :)

I'm still in my stall since the 13th of January. I was watchn the end of Wendy Williams show today n she had Dr. Ian on there promoting his shred diet. He actually stated that during the 3 rd week most all people will either stall or weightloss slows down. So evn on non surgical diets, if u will, the body still responds the same. So that made me feel pretty cool knowing that its just the way the body works, not just bc we had wls! Just thot I'd share that. Gla, n gr8 numbers:)) God Bless.

Still much slower in coming off and it is a bit disappointing. I am telling myself it is because of no exercise and hope that really is the reason. Only 11 more days until hip replacement surgery and then therapy and exercise can start in full.

It has been a 2 year journey of increasing pain to finally have this hip surgery done. I think back to all of the ways my life became more and more limited during this time and wonder how I let it go for so long before getting something done. I haven't been out for a day of shopping, for a visit to a museum, on a trip that included walking or even a comfortable visit to the grocery store in 10 months. And this inactivity only led to weight gain during this time.

It was actually preparing for this surgery that opened up the door to VSG for me. My Ortho said he would not do the surgery until I lost some weight and he suggested having this procedure. So I'm grateful beyond belief and am so ready to get this final piece done.

I have really stepped out and given myself what I truly need to get "me" back. I have taken leave from my job since November to concentrate on myself. I used to travel across country every other week (airport walking was a killer) and my company accommodated me by having an apartment for me out there. It took me a while to realize they weren't really doing this for me but for them! I was a compliant workaholic.

So I am taking all the time I need, without pressure, to focus on what is best for me. And it's not been easy to place myself first. I have replaced all of the emails that were generated by my job with emails about your postings here. What a positive change! Your encouragement, success stories, challenges have all provided me with the support I need and I appreciate each and every one.

Thanks for being here and being a non-judgmental group of people. Only 11 more days (with hopefully a few more pounds gone) and then BRING IT ON!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
