November sleevers here



Recommended Posts

I’ve been stuck at 147 lbs for three weeks and it’s starting to mess with my head. Today’s my birthday so I took some new pictures and looking at the comparison is really helping me deal with the emotional aspect of stalling and realizing how far I’ve come. I also bought myself a full length mirror for the first time in my life and I’m excited to hang it up! @redhead_che - you look incredible and you’re an inspiration! I can’t wait until my scale reads that number, although my stomach will never look that good in a bikini 🤣image-0.00298023223876953.thumb.jpg.79c2ed55c2901fcc099ccad6dedfbd35.jpg

Wow that's incredible you look terrific. I've lost 120 total but I'm very concerned. I've had to have surgery on my foot and I can't walk for 5 weeks. I know I've gained some weight back and I'm worried about getting back into my old habits.

Thanks! Honestly most of my workouts are HIIT style (30 min avg) including free weights and keeping my heart rate up. My exercise ideas come from my coworker (bless her) or Pinterest—I literally have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to examples of workouts. It’s got so many resources and options to save and go back to!

All of my WLS stuff is on private boards, so they would not show up to anyone that follows me :( Sorry! Most people that follow me on pinterest are not aware of the surgery. While I'm not hiding it from anyone, I'm not broadcasting it either :P

The most unusual stuff that I do regularly. Is Protein mugcakes (syntrax protein, coconut flour, baking powder skim milk microwaved)

Or Premier Protein milk shakes (which is basically freezing a premier protein throwing it in a blender with some skim milk Splenda and either sugar free vanilla pudding mix or PB2 powder)

Both easy filling very tasty and practically all protein.

Here's a non-scale victory: being able to fit into AND BUTTON this cardigan for the first time since 2014.

2014 on the left, today is on the right.

      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!!
