November sleevers here



Recommended Posts

Just over three years ago I met with my personal trainer, Erin, for the first time. During that first session she asked me what one thing is that I would love to be able to do, but can’t due to my size. My response..... ride roller coasters again! She promised to help me get there as long as I put in the work, and that she’d go with me when the time came. So here we are this morning heading to King’s Island to conquer them all! This amazing lady supports me, encourages me, and kicks my ass with her workouts. She even took the time to learn about sleeve surgery so that she would know the best way to help me afterwards.

Don’t get discouraged! We have all come a long way. Just remember that these stalls are completely normal and they will pass. It is most definitely frustrating, but don’t let it stress you out. Stress can actually cause wait gain, so we make it worse when we do that! Lee your head up, stick with the basics and it will al work out! You are doing amazing!

If you have not gained you are maintaining. Go back to basics immediately. Remove any complex foods that you didn't eat at stage 4 (the stage when you first started eating real foods again) make all super clean and simple. I was stuck for a month, did it (plus increased my Water seriously and stopped eating after 9pm) and im finally losing again.

That's not a personal trainer, that's a friend...

Absolutely! She has become one of my dearest friends, and I don’t know what I would do without her. =)

NSV I want to share - I went out for brunch with friends on Sunday morning and I ordered a healthy little side dish even though I realllllly wanted a big ass omelette. But I made a commitment to stop eating out as much and to only order something really small if I have to eat out. I'm really proud of the choices I've been making lately!

I have a weigh-in today and I'm really nervous about it. They want me to be under 231 by today and at my home scale, i weighed in at 229! But I know the doctor's scale is a few pounds off and might say i'm at 231. I need to not stress about it. I should be really proud of the progress I've made instead of beating myself up for "only" losing 11 pounds in the last 2 months. Any words of encouragement or advice for worrying less about the number on the scale?

Had a weigh-in yesterday on my 9-month surgiversery - happy to report that I've lost 81 pounds in total (including my pre-op weight loss) and met the 9-mos goal my bariatric team set for me! Over the next 3 months, they want me to lose another 15-20 lbs. It feels daunting but I know I can do it as long as I keep up the new habits I've adopted over the last year.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
