Cant get my last 20 off

That sounds like a great idea. I need something to work. I'm incorporating weights more now and cardio. We shall see, I hate this muffin top!

I try to don the kickboxing 3 times a week

I'm stuck in a rut too! I was doing Insanity and it was working wonderfully but the scale wasn't moving much. INCHES though, I did lose. I could tell in my NEW shorts. Try a new type of exercise. The gym did not do it for me like Insanity. Good luck!

Thanks, I just really need to find a new regime and feel so lost! It's been 22 months since my sleeve and I'm still not at goal. ;(

Got a follow up appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. I'm praying he puts at least MOST of the Fluid he took out 6 weeks ago. I was already struggling to meet my goal with only 20 lbs. to go, but 6 weeks with an almost completely unfilled band has been tough...not to mention the few lbs. I gained in the process.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and am particularly interested in what everyone thinks about the role nutrition plays in helping you reach your weight goals. I can only imagine how stressed and frustrated so many of you seem to be now that your weight loss seems to have stalled. It's also interesting to see the number of you who have received advice from doctors to 'just exercise more and eat less'. Seriously? I've done my fair share of dieting over the years, losing weight, it finding me again, fasting, calorie counting, exercising 6 days a week etc etc. But the one piece of advice I got last year from a particular weight loss program that has held true til now is that exercising is only 10-20% of the equation when it comes to sustainable weight loss. The other 80-90% is down to nutrition. (Ask your trainer at the gym, they'll confirm.)

For most of you on this forum you are already eating within calorie restricted allowances, which makes the issue of 'quality' nutrition far more important. You want to feel full, you want to feel energised all day, you want to curb cravings, you still want the pleasure of eating, you want great sleep, you want to feel happy with what you're doing, you want to feel in control of your health.

If any of this sound like you, then I can help. But first you need to ask yourself:

Am I SERIOUS about getting to where I want to be?

Am I WILLING to take a look at one nutrition solution that will help me get there and make an informed decision?

Am I prepared COMMIT to at least 30 days to see if this really is for me?

Do I like the sound of 30-day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE?

If you answered yes to these questions then please get in contact with me (Melanie) at onefinelife.net@gmail.com.

Whatever you decide, I truly hope that you get to your goal - not only in regards to your weight loss, but also in regards to living the life you dream of.

Just remember, there’s no better time than RIGHT NOW to start living the life you want :)

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
