I'm in need of motivation to lose the last 40



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve surgery 2/7/13 and I am having trouble with motivation to exercise and eat properly. In fact I have gained 15 lbs since last year. I had my hip replaced and then boom I had a problem losing weight. I started Zumba and went 4 times a week. Then my husband started to require my time. I find when I am frustrated with him I eat things I shouldn't. Help!!!

Why would you not want to lose the weight? Is there some perceived threat at the end of the rainbow?

Do you want to lose it? Write a list of all the reasons, keeping each narrow and specific. Example: Instead of "To feel good about myself," break it down to all the individual things that will make you feel good about yourself.

I can't guess what it means to say that your husband requires your time. If he's ill and needs care, see about getting someone in a few hours a day to help so that you have some breathing time. If he's acting out his own feelings about your reaching goal, walk away. Don't let him undermine you. Ask point-blank why he's trying to derail you and let him know that his fears are unfounded (unless you meet Gregory Peck reincarnated and run off, in which case no one would blame you).

Thanks for the feedback. No my husband isn't sick. He was a truck driver when I had the surgery and wasn't home much. Now he is working local and home everyday. He makes remarks that I believe are just his insecurity getting the best of him.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
