The struggle is real today



Recommended Posts

I remember the day when I actually threatened my son-in-law a chain saw death if he ate my last SF popsicle! They, by far are what got me through. :)

I also made SF lemon Jello with cottage cheese on the bottom. I would serve it on a bed of lettuce. It was really good and fresh tasting.

You got through another day. You got this!!!!

Drink Crystal lite until your eyes float. That helps fill you up.

Good luck, Girl friend.

Mini Baby Bel cheese saved me. I would eat one or two a day when the hunger was bad. Hard boiled eggs also do wonders for a sweet tooth.

It was the hardest part of the whole journey for me! You are doing great, though! Occupy your mind with some inspiring before/after pictures or success stories! That will remind you the pain/discomfort now is So worth it!

You find them in the deli area next to the fancy cheese. They are small one ounce rounds of cheese that are individually encased in wax.

Stay the course......my 2 weeks was Protein shakes only.

I'm glad of that. It kept things very simple. Just 3-4 Premier Protein Shakes per day with all the Water and non calorie drink I wanted.

No actual food.

Being able to have any type of food would have made it more difficult, IMHO. It would have opened the door to temptation and then I'd have to be all about Portion Control and etc....during that phase.

You are in the toughest part. It's a test. Gut check time.

You can do it and do it well, too. Hang in there and stay on track.

You'll be so glad to have done so when you come home from your surgery and the weight loss numbers really begin to pile up. It's going to be so much fun for you. Hand in there......the couple weeks before were the toughest part for me.....and they really weren't all that tough once I stayed on my plan.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
