No matter who we are, no matter what we do, we absolutely, positively do have the power to CHANGE. Put all excuses aside and remember we are CAPABLE. We can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough. Act as if it were IMPOSSIBLE to FAIL. Where we start is not as IMPORTANT as where we FINISH...I feel we all need to find the inner STRENGTH within ourselves and win the BATTLE. We can only change ourselves with MOTIVATION, STRENGTH and SUPPORT. If we moderate ourselves and teach o...

Finally made it to my 50 pound goal!

My body loves hanging onto this fat!

Today I was in a different set of numbers! I weight in at 179. Haven't seen this number in I don't know when?

The Lite Fare Egg White Omelet at Denny's is delicious, I could only eat 1/4 of it and I was full! Get the fruit instead of the hashbrowns.

Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Travelbug1955 replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I gain up to 2 pounds about once a month. It goes back down plus a couple of pounds later. It could be Water retention, I have to watch salt intake. -
What are you eating 8 weeks out?

Atkins diet website is a good place and they have an app to record all your foods. You can see how much protien, carbs and fat that you had and can set up goals. There are free recipes too! I enjoy the Atkins protien bars for meals and Snacks. They also have protien shakes and frozen meals full of Protein. -

Slow Weight Loss Need dietary suggestions
Travelbug1955 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I need suggestions of menus for the day. What has been helpful for your continued weight loss? My weight loss has been a struggle. My surgery was August 2013 and now in January, I am down only 45 pounds. I have been reading and found out that I should have lost at least 65 pounds by now. I have gone down from a 1X in plus size to a loose size 14. I would appreciate if some of you would share with me what you eat during the day. My stomach hurts when I eat red meat or bread. It is uncomfortable most times when I eat. I drink lots of Water. I have been following the Atkins diet, but my body seems to be weight loss resistant. Please share with me when your surgery was and how much weight you have lost. I would also like to know what you eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do you have Snacks? Any response will be appreciated. Thanks. -

I am down 72.5 lbs since preop, 57 lbs since surgery. I eat a scrambled egg for breakfast, a coffee with 18% coffee cream, and my supplements. Then some kind of protein and veggie and maybe some rice for lunch (usually a left over), and a protein and veggies and potato or rice for dinner. My protein is usually 3 oz and done in a higher calorie sauce or marinade to add flavor and calories. I usually have a specialty coffee for a snack (skinny vanilla latte or something like that) and then a nu...

I have 35 pounds to go to my first goal. Why won't my body turn loose of the fat it's hanging onto so badly? I went the whole month of November only losing 3 pounds, and so far in December, nothing! Could I be insulin resistant?
