FINALLY! Broke my stall! I upped my Water intake, tracked every single calorie and changed up my work out routine. Anyone here ever try HIIT for workouts? I'm looking for some feedback.

Doing my abs at barre class. Goes much faster to great music! And I have a broken foot! But since going back to barre class since foot surgery I gained 3 pounds. Really annoying. Hoping it’s a little muscle gain since I definitely lost muscle after the foot surgery. But I really hate gaining esp. when I know I’m doing everything right.

Hey everyone!

I've been stressed this week. At my full time job, we are in the middle of end of year and it is enough to make me pull what little hair I have left (yes, I lost hair but only enough to thin my pony tail. I had thick hair anyway). Well, prior to the surgery, I would have eaten anything that wasn't nailed down to help sooth the stress. Now, I can't/won't do that. I didn't put myself through this (and almost die - yes, I almost died. I had internal bleeding after surgery) just so I can fall into bad habits. But I gotta tell you what I want so I can get it out of my system. I want deep fried, salted, buttery, chocolate coated crappy goodness. I want bacon with buttermilk pancakes with oodles of maple Syrup with a side of home fries and eggs where the syrup just gets every where and when you are eating it you think that Buddy the Elf was really on to something. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has been there?

What I'm going to actually do is drink my Water then get my yogurt and know that I currently feel better than I did in my 20's and this feeling of wanting to binge is going to pass and I will not have guilt for indulging the feeling.

Thanks for listening!

Yes, it will pass. You are not alone. I want potato chips, pizza, chocolate, etc., but I just try to think of how physically awful I felt the few times I ate a bit too much since the surgery or the times I ate a bit too much of the wrong thing. I occasionally have a taste of something I really want but I try to have just a couple bites and stop.

Looking forward to getting below 200 pounds in the near future.

Same here... def in a stall. Down 97lbs from my sleeve on 8/15 and thrilled but have another 100 to go....

not craving the junk as much as I just wish I could have something here and there

dr wants me under 30 carbs a day which I’m doing but I think I need to be more aware of fat. Some foods are low to no carb but high fat. So I need to learn to balance. THey told me not to stress bout fat count as much as carb but wondering if that will help break my stall????

Wow 30 carbs a day is low. I can barely do 50. Can you share what you eat to get carbs that low? I’m not losing so much so need to switch things up. Getting depressed as I thought I’d be much less by now.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
