Getting back on track



Recommended Posts

After approximately 3 months of losing 3 pds, gaining 4 pds, then losing them again and basically staying the same weight for the past 3 months, I AM BACK ON TRACK!

I had a fill last Wednesday and it had been since February 26th since my last fill. I was absolutely starving all the time, snacking, not exercising, etc. etc.

I know what I have to do and I am now doing it. I am not going to beat myself up because I have been very successful with my weight loss up until this time. I have lost a total of 64 pounds since my surgery date, September 26th, 2008. I just hope this will be an encouragement to someone else who may be struggling. I am feeling much better since my fill, am drinking my Water and am back to exercising. All of you have been a tremendous help to me in the past 9 months and I am glad for all the support. Just knowing that others understand where I am coming from helps so much. I am off to the gym now. Everyone have a great week!!!!!:bored:

I am glad that you were able to get back on track! I am going for a much needed fill on tomorrow. I hope to be right there with you on the losing track.

Amazing how can fill can change everything.

And yes it is easy to get off track with eating and exercise. During the winter I just couldn't do it. My body ached and I was tired all the time. Found I was suffering from LOW blood pressure, needed to quit all BP meds, but exercise was not coming back. I even quit my walks, which I use to love. Now I am the proud owner of an elliptical and I am working my up to sweat. 16 minutes, but I could barely do two minutes a few weeks ago. Don't beat yourself up, look where you have come.

Once you get back on track you will do fine.

Hey Slim, glad to see your shinning face:wink2:

Take care.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
