Money Problems, and the joys of 3 months out



Recommended Posts

Firstly let me say, money has gotten tight. I have decided to open up a gofund me account. The link to it is gofund.me/joeywls

It explains money wise the situation I am in, and any little amount goes a long way in helping with costs for me and my wife and family.

Now onto what I wanted to share.

I started weighing in at 435. I now weigh 362 as of this morning....so over 70 pounds lost so far.

The biggest issue is I am still hungry.....not like I was but I still get cravings to go and eat things. Working out is getting better and easier to do. I feel a TON better, and if I wasn't so stressed about the money part of it I would have no regrets.

Anyways, I hope you are all having success, and good luck to those considering it.

I wonder if it might be head hunger? I know for me eating was a coping mechanism during tough times and it sounds like you're going through some hard times right now financially. When you're feeling more stressed do you also feel more hungry? If so, try to find other ways to cope. I've been taking a walk (far away from the kitchen LOL) which helps to clear my mind, gets me breathing, and stops that craving to reach for food. Congrats on your loss so far and best of luck on the rest of your journey! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
