Support and motivation



Recommended Posts

Looking for support in my weight loss I am having the sleeve done once I lose the weight I need to which is 16lbs and I am struggling with just that. Recently started working out hardcore 30-90 minutes a day doing indoor cycling. One of the big things I am struggling with is I get discouraged if I don't lose anything also I tend to forget to log my food. Any support is welcome

Well, you are in the right place. You can start with one big change, which is....wait for it........do not eat anything made in a factory. That will pretty much eliminate starchy carbs from flour and sugar, sneaky added salt, and unhealthy fats. Concentrate on the perimeter of the store, where you find real food that you can grow, pick and catch. Just go easy on the butter and salt. The only exception I make is sugar-free Jello, which is my go-to for midnight cravings.

Welcome aboard, and good luck with your surgery.

I agree with Miss Mac - no processed foods! Only fresh. Also keep in mind that muscle weighs a lot so you may not be loosing because you are gaining muscle with your workouts.

The good thing is I am allergic to a lot of food like wheat oats tomatoes potatoes green Beans oranges shell fish and peanuts so I have almost cut all that out of my life. And that's for the tip on Jello :)

      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.
