Recommended Posts

Hi everyone my name is Angel I'm 37 years old. Surgery date Nov 3rd 2016. My highest weight was 245 my pre op weight 235 my weight as of today is 206. I want to be more into this life changing event of eating healthy and paying attention to my body and its needs , but continue to struggle with realizing if I want to lose the weight and keep it off its going to take willpower and a genuine desire to become healthy. I find myself testing out what bad foods i can still eat and how much without causing my weight loss to haul. Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement in my eating habits and mental mind set to keep me on this journey of becoming physically fit and willpower to keep me losing.post-306704-14801553997664_thumb.jpg post-306704-14801554159446_thumb.jpg

@AngelNov2016...first, you are gorgeous both before and after, gosh darn I wish I could wear hats as well as you do! Only advice I can offer on the willpower and changing habits, etc., is....One. Day. At. A. Time. Sometimes, not even 1 day at a time....it's one moment at a time....one CHOICE at a time. There is always choice...do I eat this? Or that? Am I physically hungry, or just mentally hungry/bored/stressed, etc. Should I workout, or sit on the couch watching TV? Has to be about choice, and priority. Prepare things in advance, choose movement over sitting whenever possible. Unfortunately there's no magic bullet for a healthy lifestyle, other than just doing it.

@@AngelNov2016, girl you are to rocking those hats! And, you look great! Keep making the right choices and know the difference between hunger and craving. Keep Protein in your possession at all times. And exercise, exercise, exercise. Know what to do when you feel stressed or overwhelmed ahead of time.

      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! 😞
