Anyone lose weight w/out exercise?
amythevet99 replied to Scorpion11's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have lost over 100# over the past 13 months without exercising once. There are no medical reasons for this. I am simply lazy. I am an emergency veterinarian and work 3-4 15 hour shifts a week....all overnights! I also have 4 young children and like to spend time off with them. My DH who has been extremely supportive in this journey is pushing me to start working out....but I lack the motivation. I do try to keep my self on a ultra low carb high protien diet which I think has allowed mycontinued success without exercise. I am still losing and will have to see if things change once I hit maintenence. -
I am a little more than one year out and have lost over 100# but recently was stalled out. I was not gaining but had stopped losing. I got myself losing again but going on an ultra low carb plan. I am making soups with tons oflow carb veggies and putting in homemade no carb mearballs for protirn. I have found my sleeve loves the btothy soups and all the veggies have helped occasional contipation. I make a big crockpot full of soup on the weekends and itlasts me all week. I am lazy overall and have found afjusting my diet works better for me than trying to increase ecercise. For extra flavor I add parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to the soup! Goof luck in your journey.

I start to yawn when I am nearing my max of food. It seems very strange to me, but at least I know when to stop!!

What are you NOT doing (but supposed to)?
amythevet99 replied to EarthyGoalie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My skin is not great.....especially in the upper arms and inner thighs. My husband says working out will help with the excess skin, but I am not convinced!! I think that plastics is probably my only realistic option, but the $ is not something I can do either now or in the near future!! Good luck!! -

I am one year post-VSG and have lost over 100#, but have not exercised once. I just cannot get myself to do it. -
How do you tell when you are full?

It is so funny...I begin to yawn when I am almost at my food max.
