Focusing on my 13 pounds left to lose..



Recommended Posts

Now that I am just below bmi of 30..I am on track to lose those 13 pounds. I set my goal weight above the recommended 25 bmi by about 10 pounds. I vow to continue with:

Drinking 6-8 glasses of h2o

Recording my food in my fitness pal..

Exercising 5 days a week

Measuring my foods

Getting proper rest

Stay away from people who do not have a positive attitude.

Check with my stomach to determine if I am head hungry.

Deal with my head hunger by determining the cause and taking action to resolve my head hunger.

Stop eating when I feel comfortable with what I just ate.

So happy with my sleeve.

Hi there. Sound's like you're doing everything right to achieve your goals. :D Congratulations on your amazing success so far!

I have not been sleeved yet (June 16th for me :unsure:), You are exactly the kind of inspiration I needed today. The closer the date get's the more I question my decision, then just as I get cold feet, some wonderful person like you shares their journey and I remember why I want this for myself too. So thank you!

I'm happy for you and support you (virtually I guess lol). But in all seriousness, I know how being so close feels!! You're gonna get there!!

I have 6 more to reach my goal. The anticipation! Lol. I also vow with you to do all of the above mentioned, especially to drink enough, stop eating before I get too full, and figure out if I'm only having head hunger before eating!

Good for you for being so close to goal! You and I are close to the same weight (I'm 3 pounds more) so I appreciate how hard the last little bit is. I have been stuck between 166-168 for almost 3 weeks and it's driving me crazy. Just this week I increased my exercise and decreased my calories, so hopefully that will do the trick. Your list of goals sounds great- good luck- you can do this!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
