8 months out, 85 lbs down!



Recommended Posts

Hi, 8 months from surgery and 85 lbs down! I'm very happy i chose to do this. I'm 62, 5ft 5 in and was about 277 and now 192 so i have 42 more lbs to reach my goal of 150! I have to admit I love Skinny popcorn. It has not hurt my weight loss but I

feel guilty eating it. Does anyone else eat it?

I still eat very little and no other junk food, Protein, cheese, meat, yogurt, etc. Hope everyone else is doing well and if you are considering surgery, please just do it!!!

What kind of yogurt do you eat? Can one get away with a 2% fat one with fruit, even though it contains sugar?

Congrats on a huge accomplishment! Don't know what to say on the Skinny popcorn. I do know from watching, that the people who tend to maintain their original losses are very strict with themselves. But I also know, that for me personally, saying I won't ever have something again or will never be a "weensy bit bad" is not practical. It's pretty magical thinking IMHO.

So I'd tend to look at your popcorn fettish like this: if you can eat your serving appropriate size and it doesn't hurt the new anatomy, cause weight gain/stall, or cause cravings to get out of control, and you can dictate the frequency of eating it--then no problemo. If on the other hand, it causes the binge monster to visit, makes you stall or gain, and you end up wanting more and more and more of it at increasingly shorter intervals--then it's a trigger food and should be avoided at this time.

I'm gonna shoot for a 95/5 plan where 95% of the time I eat like a saint. The other 5% of the time, I will enjoy like a sinner. :) And I will have a safety window. At the high end=angelic behavior; at the low end=devil behavior. :)

I initially started to eat the triple zero yogurt but really didn't like it afterwards so now I just eat the Chobani and it works very well yes it has some sugar but it also has Protein and one fills me up and it's actually a meal.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
