You look amazing!!! Our start weights were the same and I currently weigh 215. I would love to get to 155! I had a gastric sleeve 6/25/13. Thanks for the motivation!!!

I had some type of stomach bug ( no puking luckily) and after 2 days of just liquids, I tried some food. I was full after just a couple bites. Is this from not eating for 3 days? Anyone else have this happen to them? I am 6 months out from surgery.

Scared of losing hair............
artymama replied to Memily's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Lost a ton of hair and the texture is different. Prepare for it, but it's a trade off for your new body. I have lost 125 lbs. -
Weights first, cardio after.

64oz possible? Feels like the impossible!
artymama replied to UNbLIVable's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Set your alarm and start drinking at 6am, drink constantly until you go to bed. Consider it your job! That's what I did and had no problems. You won't feel like it, but do it anyways! Fluids are very important!! -

Glad we r back on track! I am hoping to go below 224, which was my low right before thanksgiving. As far as coffee goes, I have 2 cups a day. One in the AM, and one on the evening to hopefully keep me from snacking. I think a couple cups a day is fine!

How's it goin? I have been much better these last few days. I am struggling cause my capacity is more now that I am almost 6 months. But I have tamed the beast for now at least! Went to the gym and did 45 min cardio too!! How about you????

Two Weeks Out, Feeling Restricted On What I Can Eat
artymama replied to acspringhill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Keep in mind at 2 weeks I was not yet eating! My progression was full liquids for 3 weeks, then very thin puréed food for a week, then 1 week of purée, then very soft for 2 weeks etc. I did not attempt to eat what you are eating until 6 weeks out. I did not experience any problems. I would say take it easy on your new stomach. Discomfort is a signal that you need to ease up! The eating will come, believe me! -
I am right there with ya! I gained over Thanksgiving ( have lost 70 since 6/25 surgery) . I am having a heck of a time kicking myself back into shape with the routine! I am so mad at myself! Today lets promise low carb and a trip to the gym. Come on ... We can do this!!!

I could have pnut butter in purée phase. Be careful, it's rich and can sit heavy at first.

I cry every morning as I get ready for work. The hair loss is dramatic and I call it "collateral damage". -

CONGRATULATIONS! You have done a great job! Just remember weight loss or not, you are a good person worthy of love from others and yourself.

Really weird belly-button problem..somethings strange since post op 4months ago
artymama replied to bluejay39's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same thing before surgery and would dry it thoroughly with the hair dryer after my showers. It cleared up! -
It's a bit irritating when people imply that if you are losing your hair it is due to not getting protein or vitamins. This is simply NOT TRUE. I am one of the unlucky ones who have followed the diet, vitamins, protein intake and healthy fats to the law 99.999% of the time and my hair is falling out big time. It just happens. Hopefully it will stop soon!

Eat like you are on Atkins Phase 1... I am 5 months out and was losing too slowly. I did this last week and also upped my exercise ( just a bit) and lost 4 lbs. cut all carbs, just a bite here and one cracker there gets me in trouble!
