March And April Sleevers How Are You Doing? What Are You Really Eating? (Confessions)
fanofdmb replied to Anewlifeforme23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i am averaging about 1-1.5 pounds a week. i am currently doing the couch to 5k and also some other cardio. i wish the weight loss was faster, but i do notice a difference in my clothing. -
is feeling very blah. i have started back to work and although i do not think that i have eaten more than normal, i feel like i am eating like a pig. i am tracking everything on MFP and it says i am ok. i think it also may be the fact that it is soooo stinking hot and i can not get my walks in as much as i would like. that and i am ONCE AGAIN stuck on a plateau. i just don't feel like i am losing fast enough.

today is my first day back to work post op. i am having a great day and feel kind of embarrassed but happy regarding all the compliments. i guess it will take a while to get used to them... i have already walked 1.5 miles today! .5 on my first break and 1 on my lunch. i will be doing another .5 on my next break too!! and i am planning on walking with some friends after work tonight as well!!!

Hello Everyone! I am almost 7 weeks post op and have been on a plateau for over 3 weeks... stuck at only 26# loss since surgery. Today I weighed myself and i lost a pound!!! woot woot!! I will take that pound anyday!!!
-
hello! add me too, fanofdmb i think it is a great tool. i have discovered how much i put into my mouth truly costs me!
-
yay! i too have missed salad and have stayed away from "Greens" because i am afraid of them! lol

i think that is true, what you say about it being a tool. it is so very hard, this journey. i mean, we have been eating and behaving this way for years and now our sleeves are making us accountable. i am 7 weeks post op and have been stuck at a 26# stall for almost 3 of those weeks. granted, my clothing is fitting differently, but the scale is JUST NOT MOVING! i think that this site is a great way to help yourself remain accountable. also, i just joined myfitnesspal so that i can log what i eat. i too am able to pretty much eat whatever i want as long as it is not too much. i wonder, what is wrong with me. why am i still eating this CRAP. then the guilt comes into play. i have realized just in the past two days that i need to really pay attention to what i am putting into my mouth, my activity level and what i am feeling throughout the day. otherwise, i just backslide! good luck to you!! and thanks for posting, it helps to know that others have the same struggles!

I AGREE! that stuff for the contrast for the upper GI was the most disgusting thing i have ever had the displeasure to drink!!! when i took the pain meds, i usually washed it down with some diet snapple or crystal light! i too have over half of a bottle left. it is so nasty tasting i would rather deal with the pain than drink it!

March And April Sleevers How Are You Doing? What Are You Really Eating? (Confessions)
fanofdmb replied to Anewlifeforme23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
today we had a BBQ to celebrate my son's bday. we usually put on a big spread and this year was not exception. i ate little bit of this and that. my dad cooks a mean tri-tip, which has always been my favorite. i took a tiny bite and found that it was only ok, so i took another bite, chewed it up and had to spit it out. it made me fill sick!! i stayed away from the cake while we passed it out. when i cleaned the kitchen, i had a very small bite of the corner of the cake. now i am sick and can't get the sweet taste out of my mouth! it is such a change, my taste buds are not agreeing with the foods that i liked before. i know that i am not eating as much and that i am more than likely not eating enough calories, but i still have that mindset that if i eat more, i will not lose weight. since i have been on a plateau for just over two weeks (26# in just over 6 weeks), i guess that mindset is not correct. i have made the resolution in my mind to increase my caloric intake and to definately increase my protein. i also must continue with my exercise. this past week was rough and i didnt get in what i should have. anyway... now that i am done rambling i would like to wish everyone a happy memorial weekend! BE SAFE!!! -

awesome kim!! you look fabulous! -
it may sound gross to some, but i scramble my eggs and i throw in some tuna and mix it up. lots of protein there. i season it with a little mccormicks grill seasoning and about a teaspoon of light mayo. i have been trying to come up with different egg recipies.

Two Months Postop (Week 8)
fanofdmb commented on mrsteacher's blog entry in Sleeved by Dr. Kelly in Mexico
it is so hard not to weigh everyday! i want to know, darnit!!! i am just over 6 weeks post op and have been stuck at a #26 loss. i am not sure what to do. I think maybe i am not getting enough calories in and i will start drinking more protein shakes. thank you for telling your story, it helps to know that others are feeling and going through the same things...
