anayortiz reacted to katsnirvana in Isolation
I was sleeved on 3/5. Healing great. No pain. Doing the routine of trying make myself drink enough fluids and meet the Protein requirement. My issue right now is a feeling of isolation. It feels like people are avoiding including me in activities. I think maybe they feel weird because I can't eat what they are so they just don't include me. I'm also aggravated that every single day I'm being asked, so how much have you lost. Just frustrated. Maybe I'm being too sensitive. Anyone else have people get all weird on them?

the how much have you lost is getting old. I think I am going to try and answer I don't know I haven't weighed lately. Will find out at my next dr. appt....I think thats my plan.

I felt kind of out of this conversation until your comment about being older so you don't surround yourself with shallow people. Through our lives we were stuck being around folks who were jerkoids due to work and family ties but when we get older we tend to move away and get away from annoyances. I don't have much time for brainless flies buzzing my ears. If you think you're like that at 40 wait until you're in your 60's.

I am at the high end of starting weights - I was 354 at the time of my surgery (Feb. 25), and have been steadily losing five pounds a week for the last three weeks. I'm at 339 now. That's fine for me. I know that the more I lose, the easier it will be to exercise, and I will need to increase my exercise to keep losing.

Lmao!! It never seems to amaze me how people expect their weight to miraculously go away its a process folks!!! it took a long time to put it on it might take longer to take it off.. Just my 2 cents

Lol iseeyou I want to eat carbs someday. I am a little. You're very right we are all different. I just wanted you to know what worked before surgery. Marinera cheese! Omg I love cheese it's my weakness!
Good luck to you in your journey

anayortiz reacted to Idon'tseeu in 15 Days out and I've only lost 10lbs.
I am trying to concentrate on healthy eating with a variety of foods so I don't get bored! Today for lunch I am having meat marinara sauce cooked with onions, bell pepper and chopped celery over 5 small cheese filled wheat tortellini with a sprinkling of low fat cheese on top. Will give me about 20 grams of Protein plus a limited portion of good carbs and sone veggies! This is more my focus than what my enemy the scale says or limiting myself to only protein. However I do realize this is an individual journey and each person may not agree with my choices so please do not feel I criticizing anyone who chooses more Proteins and no carbs.

anayortiz got a reaction from ChrisBthin in Who has been more supportive - your fat friends or your skinny friends?
I have support from both friends and family but i hate is that my family got to involve in my surgery that if they see that i should not be eating or drinking something they over react and its annoying i regret telling the family !!

anayortiz reacted to skinnyfate1004 in Wk14 and 80 lbs!
No secrets !!! I just stuck to it to a "t"!!! Haven't cheated and all I count is Protein. Not carbs or calories! I keep it in mind and choose protein first. But I need some carbs for Fiber and such. I do elliptical twice a week for twenty mins.

anayortiz reacted to dixiejuju in How do you know your full?
I also wonder about how will I know when I am full. I am 5 days post-op and ate 2 tbsp of pudding. I was able to eat it all. That worries me. Did I eat too much? It is also hard to tell with all the gas pain. Who knows if I am having gas pain or I am full??

anayortiz reacted to Nicolanz in Who has been more supportive - your fat friends or your skinny friends?
All of my friends are supportive. But with acquantances and clients, it's the bigger ones that are more supportive. The thinner ones look at me like I'm crazy lol. I've stopped telling everyone for that reason.

anayortiz reacted to Tekara3927 in 99 lbs down and Onederland!
No! Don't be down on yourself. We all lose at different rates. 51 lbs in 6 months is amazing! I more than likely started at a higher beginning weight. The more you weigh, the easier it comes off, as you get lower, it gets harder! Just imagine if we weren't sleeved.... It would take you a heck of a lot more time to lose 51 lbs! Be proud!!!

anayortiz reacted to Tekara3927 in 99 lbs down and Onederland!
Thank you! That's nice to hear that I am inspiring . I was sleeved 9/7/12. Tomorrow is 6 months! And I'm officially down 100 lbs!! Cannot believe it!!
