I need some tough love. I'm 11 months post op and I haven't lost any weight in nearly a month. I know exactly why - it's because I'm overeating. I'm not gaining weight, just maintaining. I'm probably overeating because I'm not consuming enough Protein. I have tons of Protein Shakes but I'm never in the mood to drink them. I could use a pep talk - I just want to buckle down and eat what I'm supposed to eat!

I have no tough love for you because I was in the same spot the last 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago I was 128 and gained back two pounds from eating like poo. I do agree though, if you focus on the Protein first and re-drill that into your head, I think it'll help. That's what I've been doing and since Sunday I've lost weight already. I also had to refocus on liquids--I was NOT getting anywhere near the 64 oz a day I'm supposed to. My goal is to be AT goal by my 1 year appointment next month. Buckling down starts....well Sunday xD

I'm guessing we've all found a new appreciation for life after surgery and are just simply too busy to come back :P

I mean, I did, but I still come back and hound y'all. 2 pounds from a new goal. I realized 125 may be slightly unrealistic thinking of coming maintenance so 127 it is. My weekend weigh in said 129.5, but my nutrition wasn't great so I'm planning on checking that again next week. Otherwise, just living the Protein, fluids, and exercise life.

Life is busy! I’m definitely much more active than I used to be! I’m 1.2 lbs from my goal and it’s so surreal. I see pictures of what I once was and it’s so weird. It feels like a lifetime ago some days.

I had to banish myself (starting today) to just liquids because I had an out of control eating weekend. #restart #backtoverybasics. My 1 year post op visit is 11/28 and I damn well am going to be 127 by then!

Congrats! However we are the 2017 Nov sleevers. The thread is a little quiet these days... But there is a thread for 2018 Nov sleevers and it is very active!

So far I've worn three different costumes for Halloween this year: bat, skanky pirate and Robin Hood!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
