Am I Losing Too Slowly?
JenniLee0628 replied to Holiday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am between 25 and 30 pounds gone and I had my surgery on 10/4. It has been slow but steady with no real stall. I am starting to incorporate more excercise beyond light cardio. You are doing great! Keep it up! -

I have lost around 30 and now am stalling! Don't get discouraged this happens for up to a few weeks then all of the sudden you drop 10 in days! Keep on going and stay positive!

Protein, protein, protein!!! I plan on doing a bigger portion of protein and smaller portion of veggies. -
Stall from the start- theories on "starvation mode"?
JenniLee0628 replied to sirensiren's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I agree with your friend. My doctor told me NO GATORADE, because of the sugar content. Are you getting in enough protein and water everyday? I am finding it difficult to get all my water in. I am not one to sip on fluids all day. -
This is more than a garden variety stall...

The biggest thing is to keep a positive attitude! Instead of saying I have only lost 53 pounds, be proud of losing it! Is there anyway you can get cardio in on an excercise bike? I know you have lower back pain, but I am thinking if you are sitting down on the bike it may not bother your back as much but you still get cardio in. Also, what about water aerobics? Just some thoughts for lower impact. I was diagnosed with arthritis and fibromyalgia at the age of 2 so I can understand back pain. Keep a positive outlook, everyone is going to lose at their own pace and have stalls! -
Hi there! I had the same thing happen to me. It is heartburn. My doctor told me to take prilosec and it ended up helping 100%! Also, when your stomack is growling like that you need to eat. It is your stomach telling you that you are hungry. Even if it isn't much eat a little bit and also take that pill right away! I had my surgery on October 4th and mine is finally clearing up.

Excercises to help tighten saggy areas
JenniLee0628 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting cleared by my doctor to start excercising with weights in a couple of weeks. What are some good excercises to help tighten up those saggy areas from losing weight quickly??? I am already noticing arm flab and around the belly area! Thanks! -
I got them too but it was also 10 to 20 minutes after. I could tell that I was full as well so it must have to do with the food sticking around the esophagus area.

So good to see your beautiful smile "light up" my computer! And think how much cuter you will be as the pounds continue rolling off. I am doing very well, with no significant problems. I just have had "full-time" diarrhea and the Dr. told me that I was probably lactose intolerant. So now it is soy milk (which I love) and soy yogurt. Lately, I lose 2 lbs/day! Now down 28lbs from my highest. Yippee

3 weeks out & my mind is STILL playing tricks on me
JenniLee0628 replied to HappyFace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do this! Think of way to trick your mind back! I have been using smaller plates and using toddler utensils. It has been very helpful! I also always start with protein, sometimes if I am super hungry I only put protein on my plate to make sure that is first and foremost! Also, check the labels! I have learned that if you get too much sodium it's not good for you and even protein packed foods don't always mean it's ok to eat by bariatric standards! Keep your head up! You will do just fine! -
So I am getting cleared from my doctor to start excercising! The nice thing about my doctors program is they add in a 6 month free membership to our local healthplex! When looking down the list I am starting with slow form yoga and moderate range arthritis which is a therapy pool acquatic session (I have arthritis so I think this will do joints well!). Besides walking which I am already getting in can everyone chime in on their routines! I would like to have different ideas so I don't get bored! Thanks to all! Jen

Engagement is over
JenniLee0628 replied to Kimberlina's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stay positive! Instead of saying I have ONLY lost so many pounds. . .give yourself a pat on the back saying I have lost this much weight and more to come! You can do this! -
Good to hear from you again and so happy you are doing well. No worries about taking a long time to reply to my comment. We are all in a major undertaking here which takes up a lot of time. I am doing fine just getting started on adding full liquids to clear liquids and everything takes a LOT of time. sip, sip, sip. Great work on your weight loss. I hope I do the same. All good things, Phyllis

Best of luck everyone! I was sleeved on 10/4 and I am feeling great! You all will do awesome!
