40 pounds to go and I'm stuck.



Recommended Posts

I'm over a year post Gastric Sleeve. I've lost 145 pounds and still have about 40 to go. I'm walking most days and riding bike some. I've recently gone back to logging my food on my Fitness Pal, keeping calories under 1200 everyday. Any suggestions on how I get unstuck???

Well, I'm no expert, but I do know if I don't track everything like I am supposed to, it is soooooo easy for me to have too many carbs.

I ride a recumbent bike at night while I watch tv. It makes it real easy to do an hour (one program on tv) when I do it this way. Sometimes I take a rest for 30 minutes and do another hour. You don't have to do this every day, just 3 times a week.

Other times I watch tv and use my bar bells while I'm watching tv or just during the commercials. Since it doesn't hurt me to walk since I've lost this weight, I do walk alot more. I'm not a runner but I love to walk. Sometimes I just go to the mall and take my time walking through it.

Watch your carbs, drink plenty of Water or mio. I go back and forth when I get tired of water I drink Mio. Hope something I have said will help you out. This happens to most people when they are losing weight. We just have to truly remember this is the way we have to eat forthe rest of our lives, as bad as I hate to, I have to make myself write everything down, what I eat, drink, exercize, weight, and my blood pressure and heart rate every day. Staying with a routine is the trick. I have 30 to lose and it's real hard for me too, but I had gotten lax on keeping up with everything so I'm right here with you my friend. Sticking to it every day - most of the time, it is minute by minute because I have, fior whatever reason been eating sweete like I'm a toothpick or somethiing. I'm NOT giving up on what I've accomplished - I WILL get this last 30 off! Will try to keep in touch. Maybe you can say something to me to help me with my struggles. WE CAN DO THIS!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! You are so right about the carbs! I don't drink enough at all. I eat too many sweets too! Carbs are easier to eat! Healthy foods seem to fill me up fast, which is a good thing. I do need to exercise more. I will work on that. Keep going! It's nice to know there's someone in the same boat!

Glad to hear back from you. I, like you, am glad to have someone to talk to who is struggling too. I'm hoping we can encourage each other and I feel if I have to "answer" to someone every week, it will help me to stay on track. Will hate to say I haven't lost anything this week or I gained something. I feel this will make me stronger. I have always liked sweets but not just crave them like I'm doing now. I could be happy just eatting something yummy and gooey. Just have to be strong and at least get back on track. Will keep in touch! Well we must be kin somewhere down the line cause we seem to want the same things. lol

Well have to go check on supper. Still have to cook for my two boys...husband and son.Talk to you soon,

Marsha

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
