March challenge day 31.

SW 159 CW 152. I was trying to get to 150, but I'm okay with this loss.

  • What defines my personal success: Perseverance. Not giving up, no matter how many times I was knocked down. I'm a closet runner. Even at my highest weight, I still walked and jogged as much as I could. My goal is to complete a run\walk this summer.

well Well March is marching out and away for us all. My biggest success March 1st 267 pounds, March 26th- don't own a scale so I weigh at my PCP and Surgeon only- 234.6, a lot of it is the almost stall I was in while on TPN and with a PICC line in, but after watching wistfully while everyone else was losing quicker Frustr8's. Fantastic Fantasy has come true. And I am proud of ME, now that I believe again in me I am stepping up the few varieties of exercise I can don with two artificial knees, 2 shoulders next on the repair table, strangely the hips I would have,predicted have stayed in better shape, but I can do Water therapy, pace my walking, considering putting out a garden as Ohio warms up, but Tomkitten and PCP groan this prospect but I want me a bike, yeah old Mom, Foolish Mom, but I live ,6 mile or 1 km,whichever you want to look at it, from a very nice city park called Riverside, figure I could ride there, rest a piece and then bike home. After both of them saying Exercise more, they want to" rain on my parade" 💦But April may bring Power instead of showers, let's see if I can keep a loss going! May not be so spectacular, but every ounce gone is gone! Never inviting them to return, so let's see what the next 30 days bring!

March 1st starting weight: 158.1 lbs, 4 months post surgery, still losing...

Goal for this month : get into the 140's

I didn't do the daily participation this month, but I DID read it almost every day and kept up with everyones updates. Despite my non-posting, I did complete the "No Junk Food" challenge (its really my natural state anyway). And I did get into the 140's...I finished off March at 146.9 lbs, (a loss of 11.2 lbs for march :99_muscle:)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
