Advice For Getting Back On Track
LaBelle509 replied to Minckle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry about all the stress that you are under ! The end of marriage is never easy. Having a child makes this even harder to deal with. But you are right, you should still reach your goal. Go back to basics! measure your food, high protein meals, low carb, plenty of water. Also start taking your vitamins and supplements. Keep your calories in check. With all that stress, exercise is your best bet right now. IT THE BEST STRESS RELIEVER!!! I really wish you the best. Hope counseling will help you and your family move forward and find peace. -
Today I could not stop smiling I am so HAPPY I got the sleeve done!! I know that I get frustrated when the scale does not move. But the truth is, I am still losing. I went from wearing a size 28W to a 22W WHAT A JOY!!!! I am going to stay away from the blasted scale and LIVE LIFE AGAIN!! I went to an event today. I walked in the room and for the first time, I did not scan the room to see if I was the biggest on there. I walked in, took a seat and didn't worry about my butt not fitting in it. or worst, breaking it. The last time i went, I stood the entire time, fearing that I was going to embarrass myself.... I AM FREE!!!!

Best decision ever!!
LaBelle509 commented on LaBelle509's gallery image in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos
SPANX LOL!!!! that's all I can do for now. I know some claim that exercise will help, but my doctor said not true. What exercise will do, is tone us up. After plastic surgery, we will look more define and sculpt. But that is it. So girl, as soon as I have my baby, I am having plastic surgery!! My arms are bad, my pouch is not that horrible, my girls are sad lol!!! gotta fix that to complete the journey -
Thank you so much for your support!! and YES it will work. Be sure you do your part: Low cab, high protein, Low fat, low cal, exercise, plenty of water, ( after five months I would like to add to this list) BE PATIENT!!

This Is Hard...
LaBelle509 replied to FluffyBleu76's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are eating enough enough Protein during your regular meals? maybe you are not eating enough and that might be the reason you get hungry shortly after a meal. If you are consuming 3oz of meat for example, maybe eat 4oz now. Also, are you drinking enough Water? If you know you had a well balanced meal, and felt satisfied afterward. But one hour later want to eat again, drink water instead. For a long time, I misread my thirst signals for hunger signals. If you are bored and feel like snacking, get busy. Find something to do and drink your water.30 minutes later revisit the feeling and see if in fact you are "hungry". If you still want to eat something, pick a high protein, low carb/cal snack. I try not to give in to my cravings as soon as I get them. If I feel "hungry" less than two hours after a meal, I always grab a glass of water first. Forcing myself to wait the mandatory 30 minutes waiting period before eating, that my doctor taught us. He also stressed the fact that our meals should be plan. He wants us to balance meal time/water/protein supplement/meal time/water/exercise/water/ to help cut back on snacking. Good luck!! -
six pounds away?! girl you are an inch away from your goal!!!!!

thnx for sharing!! getting tired of my shakes, so I would love to try something new

Once you start exercising, you will start looking forward to it. Pick something you like, pick set days and time. It will become a routine for you. And when you don't do it, you will miss it. I use to think that was crazy talk. I do NOT like to exercise(my 348lbs body was proof of that). I started exercising on a regular basis, and when I skip a day, I feel so bad and guilty!

"no Longer Her Safe/fat Friend" Lol! 5 Months Pics
LaBelle509 commented on LaBelle509's blog entry in LaBelle509's Blog
thnx ladies!! of all the people that changed, she surprised me the most. She always told me how beautiful I was despite my size. She never once made me feel bad because of my weight. It's confusing to know me being overweight, makes her feel like I am safe to have around. Does not make sense at all!! -
That's just a couple weeks away!! congrats!!
