Very Slow Weight Loss-Depressed!
belladona replied to Taylor06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I think your doing great yes we all wish for big numbers but im just over 4 months and it has s l o w e d down considerably. I was told no carbs as well but if i eat them I use sprouted grain ezikiel bread its low glycemic doesnt spike the insulin im not avertising them but ive done my homework so it comes in pasta and bread if i want carbs i have healthy ones. Its not a perfect science but you have to see what works for you. Dont be afraid to experiment try new things its a blank canvas try a different work out walk 5 minutes run 5 minutes try you will be surprised at what you find. Good luck! -

Agreed looking great love the sexy hair!!! -
How much did you loose and how much do you have to loose ? the thinner you get the slower the weightloss
-
Hi keep it real if that was the case the world would be sleeved. Lol You will loose alot in the beginning then something funny happens you start to heal which means you can eat more thats where the fun starts you are going to have t start making smart choices and picking your own battles its not a cure all or a quick fix its a tool and your gonna have to learn how to work it.

Surgery in the Summer
belladona replied to miamax13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I was sleeved june 18 the only problem I had was waiting till July to go in my pool. I agree with cindymg the legs are not nice but I have my own pool. I wont be a swimsuit model any time soon. You will be ok, good luck to you. -
Hi a word of advice you wont be eating much . Being so close to your surgery date your stomach is swollen nothings going down , I was fortunate I was allowed pureed fds right out from hospital most people I see are on fluids its up to your doc. You can participate in spirit and being present but not in the gorging part lol lucky you. Im 4 months out and went to Toronto for their thanksgiving it was a mind game being Italian we know how to pack on at holiday meals I skipped the pasta had some turkey gravy and stuffing. Although I wanted veggies salad and mashed potato I really did I couldnt. We ate out alot as well I came home expecting a 10lb gain lost 2 im ok with that. Listen to your body Have an awesome Thanksgiving good luck to you.

7 months out... first and possibly LAST time out drinking since sleeved.
belladona replied to SerendipityHappens's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
lol very cute story , I had a 1/4 cup of grey goose black cherry noir over ice I sipped on it all night was happy all night not crazy not drunk but a nice even buzz . So I felt i did well in the calorie range and was able to enjoy. Pre surgery couldnt feel anything till 2nd gg martini so im glad you had fun. I hope you feel better. -
No being a woman you should know how this goes , I can be one weight at night and can be down 2 lbs the following morning its just the way it is. relax you will be fine.

Hi, let me start by saying you look amazing! You are an inspiration. I have to say I think you answered your own question in your original post. You said you loved him but are not in love with him. Bam there it is. why go through life like that? I have a bad situation at home, Im trying to make it work I have a seven year old but your kids are grown, a little easier. Hes clingy because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! He screwed up big time. If home life is not what makes you happy then you know what to do. You dont need him anymore you can find someone better.

Ughh darling Im going thru the same crap! I also have extremely thick hair as well. But winters coming and straight hair season has arrived . i try to wash it as little as possible. Thats when I find I loose the most. They have dry shampoo as well I use that alot. Best of luck to you I hope both our hair stays on our head where it belongs.
