Ms skinniness

This is a new way of life. We all have to look at how and what we are eating and our fluid intake. We need to be mindful of what we put in our bodies so we can continue on with our new journey. We are skinny people in the making and so focused on weight loss, that we are forgetting to live for today. Let's refocus ourselves to enjoying the wonderful company that we have and enjoy our beautiful friends and family. That's what life is all about for me.

CONGRATS! This is so exciting. Liberated SLeeve ~ I love you new pic!

CONGRATS! Dancing in the rain! Keep rockin your sleeve!

A good trick is to take oral medications with yogurt or sf pudding. The pills slide down with the yogurt or sf pudding. Piece of cake! LOL

That angers me. It's like saying that someone is age 55 is not employable because of his/her age. Crazy. I hope they get a lawsuit for this.

CONGRATS! I will keep the BIG LOSER'S BENCH warm for you!

It's so much fun to read about everyone's success stories here. I remember puting on a pair of dress slacks that fit just perfect and within about 5 hours they would be so baggy on me! I remember finding my gold ring on the floor bc it fell off my finger. Now I'm waiting for my smaller gold ring to fall off my finger and it just won't. It goes from really loose to fitting snug by morning wth? Theses are a daily tributes. LOL

Wow this is great! But I have a question what does SAHM mean? Anyways, congrats!

I have so much anxiety attached to this topic of stalls. I realize I need to just sit back and honor my body and it's current weight. If I do stay at this weight, then maybe it's just ment to be. I know I will get to goal soon or maybe later. But after all, I didn't gain the weight this fast. When I heard from my surgeon's office that we would loose 1 to 2 lbs per week, I was disappointed. But it's all good. I love my new bod and I'm getting use to my eating routine. I will keep eating healthy, protein first, veggies, some fat and some starches.

These are all great NSV's! Enjoy them, take them in and own them! You are ROCKIN that SLEEVE! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Typically about 3 weeks! It's most likely your body is adjusting in inches. Have you taken any measurements yet? If not this is a great time to do it! Enjoy your ride.

CONGRATS! You are really ROCKIN that SLEEVE! Can't wait to hear more. XOXOXO

Why am I always hungry? Why am I not losing weight? What is wls? What is NSV? These are just a few. Hope this helps.

Crystal Woods I have a lot of struggles with water. I dilute my water with G2 gatorade and then I can drink more water. I even use the Mio drops or I squeeze a little fruit juice into my water. That was a life saver. It's really important that you up your fluid intake. I use to drink a lot of soup broth for the fluid. I know you know that fluid is important so I'm not trying to be critical, it's just so much easier when we are hydrated. Hang in here and let us know how your doing! Everyone on this site is Rockin their Sleeves! Hugs

I love these inspirational stories! CONGRATS! You are having a wonderful journey to a new confident, happy you!

There's really nothing you can to eat healthy meaning, protein and a lot of water to stay hydrated. It will come off, just give it time, meanwhile relax and enjoy the changes that are taking place right now. It will happen. CONGRATS!

I wouldn't take the cal above 1200. You are doing great! Sometimes it takes us a little longer to get going. I personally believe that a slower weight loss is better than a fast weight loss. I know that I get impatient with myself because I want it now, now, now, and not later. So I have to work on my patience. Your diet looks really good. Maybe stop having a snack in the evening. On most days, I try to keep my cal at around 800 to 900. You are doing great at your point to get in 500. So keep it up, it will happen! Let your body adjust to the trauma of the surgery. Keep doing what your doing and it will come off.

Yes there is a app for this site. It's great.... Congrats on your successes and welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

Wow! You are really working your sleeve! Keep it up....

12 hours before the surgery.

It's probably way too dense for your sleeve at this point. I'd wait a while. At almost 6 months out, my stomach is still picky on foods that are really dense. I had chicken the other day, it was a little dry and my stomach was not too happy. I would be afraid of damaging my staple line and I don't need that to happen. It's all good! I love my sleeve!
