Day of surgery. Existed.

Hi guys,
It’s great to see everyone is doing well!! Such great losses!! I am down 35 lbs and like some of you, wish it was coming off faster. However, it’s going in the right direction.
I have to say, I do love the fact that my body tells me when I am full. And when I am full, there is no pushing past it. I can still eat all of the foods my family has, just a smaller portion.
My biggest issue for me, right now is exercise. I have excruciating joint pain in my hips and it makes it hard for me to do too much. I am hoping as my weight goes down, the pain will decrease.
I am so happy to see that people are doing great!!

I was sleeved Nov 7 and down 49lbs including pre op loss! I have had issues as well with my knee so exercise is limited. Hopefully I will up the ante now as my weight loss has stalled!

I also have problems exercising , when I can I do, when I can't I don't worry about it. My philosophy is why make unsustainable changes now to accelerate weight loss that I will give up in a year and only to gain the weight back?

Nah.

I'm just going to commit to a true lifestyle change I can handle (mostly dietary ) and lose what I lose

If I decide to start exercising vigorously in maintenance then... Icing on the cake (that I can't ever eat again lol )

Anyone still have nausea, I feel sick when I wake up and off and on most of the day. Hunger is real , but I'm being good. Water consumption is a struggle so I've been drinking hot decaf tea. I'm having a hard time coming up with good food menus that the whole house will eat. Any suggestions?

When are you taking your vitamins? Are you taking them with food? That can have an impact on the nausea.

Hello everyone!

Just checking in and seeing how everyone is doing? I am doing okay. Just trying to eat enough protein for the day.

Ugh

Trying to stay focused on NSV

I gained weight this week , not food choices but heavy lifting at the gym [emoji15]

Going back to just cardio but my back fat was going away [emoji24]

Hello all my friends. Its April 22 and a beautiful day in West Deptford NJ . Hope everyone is doing fine. I'm down 76 lbs. A still got more to go lol. I am still having problems with my joints and knees but slowly getting better . l joined a gym with a swimming pool per my doctors and working out in the pool as much as I can. This helps relieve pressures in my joints and knees with out put stress in those areas and it seems to be working. Hope this may help a few of you with the same problems. Have a Great Day Joe. Ps. Please keep in giving updates.

You know as sad as the weight situation is for you, I'm soooo curious about that vacation!!!! Do tell...

Down 65 lbs coming up on our year anniversary and I’ve hit a 2 month stall, I’ve been in the same 5lb range and cannot seem to get past it. Anyone else having this issue?

Hello all my friends. Sorry I have not keep up on this thread .There no excuse. Talking about vacation,went to the Anarondike Mountains in August for a week with my brother and we hike all over the place. Lost 10 lbs and put them back on when I got home. The reason is I walked miles every day up there . At home I am walking around a mile and half almost everyday but not even close to what I was doing up there. No worry it will come off. I'm feeling Great! Most days except for my left knee. Getting it drained tomarrow. Can,t wait. Lol. I have surpassed my goal weight and still want to lose a little more and deffently need to firm up the skin . I have lost 108lbs so far but put those 10lbs back on and stalled or I would be down 118 lbs . It will come back off .This weight loss has given me my life back. Always wanting to do stuff I hadn't done in years. Best decision I ever made to have this Surgery. This post is a little long but I wish all of you the Best. If you ever need to talk or help let me know I can give you my number. Thanks again to all of you for the support. Your bariatric pal Joe.

Congratulations all your November 2017 pals and now the November 2018 newbies will all be looking up to YOU for wisdom and guidence. Pretty important thing!
