Long term

Starting over for me is hard. I was sleeved in late 2014 (age 44). I have lost 67 pounds as of 1/17/2017 that have stayed off. I need to lose 57 more pounds to be at my goal weight. I had a lot of things going on. I left me behind.

I want to be healthy. For me that equals, working out, planning and recording meals and with no more excuses. This is hard. I am going to get it done. My last start over. I will get my goal as my health is vital. I am open to any suggestions positive . This is truly humbling.

My surgeon never told me to take Vitamins. I did read about them in the information that came from my dietitian pre-op. I moved out of state 1 1/2 years later. Although, his office never called after my first post-op appointment. My surgery went great. I had to take it from that point. Maybe because it was just before the holidays.

Your surgeon never told you to take vitamins? That's insane! Mine had me on calcium +d3, probiotic, vitamin b12, and a bariatric multivitamin since i was 7 days post-op and allowed to swallow pills.

That's great news! Hopefully it was the "reset" you needed and you can stick to the plan moving forward.

For me it is a mental reset. No matter what life events occur, I have to remembered my goals and keep moving forward. I am important. It is okay to be a "small person." That term was driving me crazy. Now, I am ready to hear it again for life. Let us all get to our weight loss goals and beyond. Thanks! ????

Good morning everyone, I'm going to stock up on my fluids (protein shakes/soups/broths) so I can start my 5 day pouch test next week

The scale is moving down. My enourance is growing. I am going forward each day toward better health. It is a slow process. I am worth the time:780_sparkling_heart::780_sparkling_heart:! I have 39 pounds until goal. My workout starting at 5:15 p.m cst (5 days a week).

Hay long-term people heading towards goal, how is your progress this month?
