Looking good!!

Look into already made drinks so you don't fall behind next time. Protein is a big part of our weight loss, got to stay on top pf it:)

I am almost four months out and corn is still on my No list. But when I eat mixed veggies, I do eat the corn.

Cant Stop Crying! Help!
LaBelle509 replied to mariah081803's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went through it as well! I was driving once and felt this overwhelming need to cry. I pulled over and just cried my eyes out I had little episodes here and there, but that was the major one. -
I had a lazy/lousy day
just plain old tired!! Did not go to the gym and barely got my water/protein in. I slept and watched TV most of the time. Gonna have to do better tomorrow... -
I feel the same way! I am really unable to take pride in the work that I have done so far, simply because I am not able to see it!! I went shopping for a dress: SIZE 2X from a 4X!! To me I looked no different; but my husband told something that is very true!! He said I am looking at what I have LEFT to lose, instead of what I ALREADY lost...And that's maybe why I can't see the change

A full body shot of my progress. I will use the same dress from now on so I can really see the difference:)- 1 comment

Got a nice tip from a fellow gym member: on days when I am going to exercise, I have to increase my caloric intake so my body does not shut down me!

Doggy Bags And Leftovers....
LaBelle509 replied to fattymcfatterson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YOU ARE SO, OH SO, RIGHT!!!!! It is no longer my job to find a home for food! no longer my job to clean my plate or to make sure the food does not go to waste!! One of the thing I have been doing since the sleeve is learning to walk away from my plate with food still left in it . I am teaching that little girl in me, not to feel guilty about the starving children or how it's a sin to throw away good food. I have saved and carried home my fair share of yummy good food... I pilled on 340lbs worth of good food on my body. No More of that. -

sounds like you are doing nothing wrong. This is all part of the journey. Keep up with your protein, water and exercise. The scale will move again. I hate stalling more than anything

6 Wk Check Up And At Risk For Stretching My Sleeve
LaBelle509 replied to lowe1961's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Biggest Loser ( got it at Walmart) it is fantastic. I am sure I can eat more. But I don't want to continue the vicious cycle of eating until " passing out" so I cap myself at the 6weeks food limit on my NUT list. I eat my Protein first and then my veggies( usually spinach or green beans). and yes I eat soooo slooow it drives my friends insane -
I was told the same. Acid reflux seems to be a harsh side effect of the sleeve. And coffee just brings is out for some people. I do not want to chance it.

6 Wk Check Up And At Risk For Stretching My Sleeve
LaBelle509 replied to lowe1961's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I always measure my food! I invested in a good scale that also tells me the caloric value. At three months out, I don't eat more than 4oz. There are times, depending of how dense the protein is, I don't finish. I am desperately trying to teach myself not to eat until it hurts. I need to be content with the amount my body needs to be healthy. Not a bite more. That's how I got in trouble in the first place. -
I don't think my body got the memo...I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST LOL!!!! I need to send it a message. For the next week, back to basic: Five protein shakes and a lean meal + 1 1/2 hour exercise. Time to get things rolling again!

your stomach went through some major trauma during surgery! it needs time to heal. A liquid diet is the best thing at this point. No stress on your new stomach and on your fragile staple line. It will be over before you know it. When I got annoyed with my liquids I just thought about the damage I could cause to my sleeve if I don't follow the rules. Since no food is worth a leak, infection, and my life I held on until it was the proper time to progress to solid food. The time will come. Be patient:)

awful day at work!!!!!!! before I would eat my face off to cope with the stress, now I am off to the gym:) THANK GOD and THANK YOU SLEEVE!!!

Attention Experienced Sleevers
LaBelle509 replied to Readytolose2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do get hungry.... I don't feel the "OMG I AM STARVING" sensation that I use to have at every meal time lol! I just gently "feel" it's time to eat
