    Its been such a long time it seems since i have come in here...i guess like everyone the honey moon is over. My head is wired wrong again, i want to eat crap ...and now i can, i really feel like i am going to gain back all this weight. What is wrong with me??? In a 2 days will be the one year aniversary of me starting this journey ( i was on the shake for a month, and i feel that was tougher than the surgery) I am so ashame that not even a year has passed and my head is back to s year ago wondering all the time what i could eat and of course not exercising...i am so fucked, and i cant find it in me to get back on track

    What an awful month...its my worse so dar, gain 2lbs, lose 2lbs....bottom line i am up to my old tricks, not moving and munching all the time... Need a chocolate fix everyday..chrome does not work. So i am a bit freaking out. Either it´s seasonal depression and beach therapy will fix me up, or i need a good pyschologist to fix my eating habits and living habits and learn how to desl better with stress and such. I am so tires of having to improve all the time in all the fields of my life. Be a better mom, be a better wife, be healthier, be a better employee, be a better person.....well fuck why is it never good enough for anybody, everytime i improve the quest for more just continues. You know if youn put a frog in a pot of water and then turn on the heat. It will stay in the boiling water and cook there. But if you try to put a frog straignt in boiling water, its never gonna let you. I dont know what i am talking about, i am just in a pissy mood....vacation starts wenesday...it better be all i hope it will be

    It should be fine, the problem is just that in the public system this will take a long time before they get to my turn...

    Eversince i lost the weight, my skin legs of course i loosen...and so we now see that i have HUGE varicose veins. So this week i had taken an appointment to get ride of them. When i got there the dr refuse to perform the injections, he checked my veins with ultrasound or something and saw that i had a vasculary problem starting around the pelvic area...so now he refers me to the hospital for surgery. Just another example of the saying , when the water level of a river lowers, thats when you can start seeing the rocks.

    chrome you can get in any health store...sometimes even the pharmacy next to the vitamins...as for the DIM, i am not sure i get it from my chiro who gets it from a naturopath.

    I have a question....are your ass hurting too? I guess it has to do with not having a plump butt anymore. I can feel my tail bone, and if i dont sit correctly, it´s uncomfortable.

    For the sugar rush, someone told me to get some chrome supplement, apparently it really helps, and for period you need a summpllement that is called "DIM" it helps with hormonal issues....good job on loosing the 80 lbs and good luck to your mom

    Omg! With the holidays i have been bad and indulging, i didnt even exercise because i was not home and didnt feel like it. I was sure i would have gain weight....i am now in the century club and i have lost 101.7 lbs. I am so glad that even though i wasnt strict at all i didnt gain some weight back....i was really dreading this moment i knkw that will really demotivate me... I am really happy, thats a great way to start the year off...2 more lbs and i will be under 200lbs, which is a number i dont remember seeing

    I was hoping my libido would increase too, but not the case at all. It was dead before, it is still dead Having kids really does its number on a body, and hormones

    Something strange happened, but in a very nice way. I think i am getting a nice xmas gift. I was hoping to have lost 100lbs by x-mas or even better be under the 200lbs mark. But with the stall the chances of that happening was getting very slim. However since monday i have been losing about a pound a day, which for me is not quite normal. Normally i lose one but the next day nothing and so on. So this is very suprising and welcome! Either 2 things can explain this phenomena, since monday i started taking a natural produc call DIM enhanced (which is simply an antioxidant to maintain good health, a naturopath recommanded it to me, to fix my cycle because i get bloaded from ovulation and it,s painful. Or i also started on december first the 100 miles challenge, which isnt that big of deal, between december 1st and march 1st there is 100 day and you have to walk a mile everyday and you are not allowed to skip a day. So i have now loss 96 lbs...4 lns to go for wish #1 and 8 lbs to go for wish #2 to be under 200 lbs. I know it's a bit stupid, it just that at xmas gathering when people that havent seen me for a while, ask me "wow how much have you lost." It so much more impressive to say "i lost a 100 lbs" BAaM... ..than to say " i lost 96 lbs" I just dont get comment all that much on my weight lost

    have you done your blood test for your 6 months check up? You may have some deficencies, (calcium or magnesium)...as for my stomack area i really dont like when my kid plays with me, i am always conscious of the surgery it seems, it is sensitive i must admit. My weird things is with my pelvis and my back, now that i have lost a good chunk of weight its like my center of gravity has switched and some days i cant seems to know how to walk without hurting...weird. And the bone that is sticking out, i think you just lost the weight :-) soon when you'll get out of the shower you will have to empty out the triangular hole ln your shoulder close to your neck lol

    So i went to my 6 months check up today.At my surgeon they have made over 2500 of these surgery, and from that data base they can draw conclusion. and so at the 6 months point he checks if you are within the average and on target compare to the group. On average these 2500 people, have lost 50% of their excess weight after 6 months . for example me at 300 lbs and being 5'3', my healthy weight according to imc should be 140 lbs, so i excess weight is a 160 lbs. So 6 months after surgery i should have lost about 80lbs...but i have lost about 93lbs so i am around at 56% so he was really happy and said i was doing well. So i'd like to know what is everyone percentage of weight loss base on your excess weight Finally he said something scary, he said that the surgery that he perform is responsible for 50 to 60% of the patient lost....or he garanties 50%....so basically as of now, if you stop losing weight its all up to you and i havent learned my lesson. And from now on i should not expect drastic weight lost ina given month, i should still lose, in the next 6 more months but its going to be tough, and its normal that i am hungry, the body is healed and its acting like before

    I think this period of the year is very bad for everyone, halloween omg, cheated so much, and i will continue until the candy are finally over with. But i have been hungry, and i have been able to eat more and more. It is scary...i know that the honeymoon period is almost over, and that things will get tougher, yet i dont feel ready to battle. Keep in mind that, winter is coming and our brain/ body, like it or not, is trying to prepare us for survival, and trying to gain fat to keep warm. Like bears wanting to hibernate. Its cold we dont want to go outside and move, not to mention the lost of sunlight. Just keep that in the back of your mind, dont get too depress, fight hard as your are now batteling with the law of evolution too.

    In Canada if i could have waited for the surgery in the public system for over 2 yrs and the surgery would hsve been free. But when i madee my decision i did not want to wait 2 yrs to get the surgery, than another year to lose the weight. So i went private and it cost me out of pocket 22000$, altough i have insurance it doesnt pay for one penny. Anyhow all that to say, that in this private package i have access to 10 counseling with a nutrionist. I think you need to go to a nutritionist for sleeve and seek from expert advice, i dont think its normal that you had a stall for this long, maybe you are not eating enough...i dont know, but it just weird, unless you had very littel to lose...becaus my cousin went public and she had the surgery about the same time i did, i have lost 90 lbs, she has lost 40 lbs...so it depends on your starting point, i was 303, she was 200 lbs.

    Although i have lost 87lbs, i dont see it...do you know what i mean? I know my clothes are bigger and had to change them all, i know that i look better, but yet in my head somehow i havent really changed, so to get a compliment for something you dont feel has really change is weird...i guess i am waiting for that moment where my head is going to click, that i did achieve something here. So far i have erase 10 yrs off, but 10 yrs ago i was fat too

    Humm spent 2 days in luxerious hotel, with lots of food and drinks, and all the good stuff you can think of, and well this stomack of mine is very hungry right now, so i did indulge...and scary part i did gain about a pound, but even scarier is that i cant seem to stop wanting to eat now At the same time i found an old excel sheet that is over 10 yrs old on which i keep records of my weight lost every time i do a new diet...well it just seem every time i start giving up it's exactly when i am around my current weight .... Am i sabotaging myself? Makes me wonder

    My 4 yrs old only son got diagnose with autisms (asperger), i am freaking out....i have become léthargic, so i havent exercices in a while, and i just want to eat crap, the halloween chocolate is screaming my name and right now i dont see the point in resisting. I did this surgery so i could be there for him and have a greater complicity with him...not gonna happen

    Week 6: May 27-31st Sleevers

    Just wondering here, didnt you had 2 surgeries? Could these effects you are describing rather be due to going twice under anesthesia. I mean lots of people lose memory, i wouldnt be surprise it can affect your eyes or ear pressure... Or its due to less processed food, withdrawal...toxins are getting out of your system and your nervous system doesnt know how to handle it, free radicals and all.

    My next question is also strange...but have you change the way you walk or stand? I mean now that you have lost weight your center of gravity is shifted (less butt, less stomack)... It seems my pelvic is freaking out about this and i end up at the chiro often because of that, even have lots of pain from sitting too much
