Bless your heart Patti..... On the cramps and periods, I am going to have to say no on the cramps and yes on the period. I do know that my PMS had gotten worse and it is because I can't eat the things that I use to eat while PMSing..... On a happy note, I am down 1.8 lbs today!!! I was NOT expecting that!!!! Something is going right!!! Headed back to the gym for my lunch break. B- Protein smoothie made with activia yogurt L- same thing as all week, Cheesy chicken (tyson chicken breast with a bit of cheese on top) D- sauted shrimp. (though last time I ate shrimp, they did not have a good taste, if I can't eat the shrimp, then I will have a piece of pork chop.) Snacks- I have some string cheese Vites- Running this morning and I forgot to take them. Will have to take them when I get home. Exercise- Gym at lunch time....today is 15 min cardio and 30 of legs today!!!

My NSV....I am wearing a sweater that I have not worn in about 3 years and I have had 3 people who have told me that I look smaller!!!!!! I still have a long way to go but it is a great feeling to hear someone say that you look smaller and that you are in inspiration for them to lose weight.

Awesome!!!

scale hasn't moved in a MONTH
kgremmy replied to teh ericka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My suggestion to you is to shake things up. Try eating different foods and trying different exercises. Focus on getting all your Water and Protein in. 65 lbs in 4 months is AWESOME. Give your body a chance to play catch up with all the weight that you loss. Most importantly, keep your head high. I wish that I will be in your shoes at 4 months out!! -
found out that my sleeve does not like it!!! LOL!!! Other than that I am good. I have to go back to the dr on the 23rd for blood work they said and I am afraid that I am not going to have a good loss. It seems as though I am losing but not like I was before. I am going to have to talk to him about that.

For the first time since the surgery, I was craving something sweet and I shared a lil debbie brownie with my daughter. I was mortified at myself afterwards. We have eaten out a few times and I have ate a fry or two but nothing that I would consider as bad as the brownie. LOL!!! I am refocused. Going to the gym today and it is going to be a good work out. Also took a bite of steak

Valentine's Day... What Will You Weigh???
kgremmy replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I like it and BRING it on!!!!! I made my other little mini Valentine's Day goal also this morning!!! So for this challenge I have lost 15 lbs!!!!! -
I think that it is perfectly normal for you to have those thoughts at the same time. For the month of January, I was under a huge amount of stress. Pre-surgery how I would handle this, would be for me to eat. Being that I am sleeved, I couldn't do that and not being able to handle eating what I wanted was just as stressful as everything else that was going on in my life. If anything, it made it more stressful. I am still seeing my counselor because I am choosing to. I do not know how this tool that I now have is going to affect me in the long run. For so long we have been programed to expect a gain when we go on vacation, eat when we are stressed and then in the same breath, worry about not eating enough and being a size zero. I think that you perfectly normal. People may think that just because we have the sleeve that it is going to be smooth sailing but in reality, I think that we have it harder. We have to totally reprogram ourselves and totally change our lifestyles.

Weight loss,,does this sound right?
kgremmy replied to tntransplant06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first 2 weeks, I averaged 1 lb a day and then it tapered to a stall and then I was back to .8-1 lbs. Some days it averages only a .4 loss or something like that. Since Dec 8th I have lost 30 lbs, so some days are better than others and some are not!!! -
Good Morning!!! I was off on Thursday and then Friday we had some nasty icy weather so I did not do much of anything. Made it thru the weekend and the only day that my eating was not so good was yesterday. I have got to work on that. My Water intake was not so good either. Here is my plan for today: B: Peanut Butter Protein shake L: Canned chicken breast with a little cheese sauce. D: Not quite sure being that I have to bring my kids to gymnastics tonight and it is going to be a long evening. Vite- Got them down. Exercise- Probably not going to be anything being that I have a long day ahead of me. Have a great day!!!!
