Niquee

Today i did it at every meal...i am not sure what is the trigger. Indeed, eating too much and too fast will do it...or not managing the liquid intake correctly. When i feel the thightness its too late, i have to get ride of the food. Its not like vomitting, i know what you mean, i hate vomitting and i would do anything not to vomit...this is different, i dont get nausea. In the beginning it was awful, and my dietician said it was probably that the actual pressure in my stomack was just too much...i was not even able to get down water i just felt like a bottle of champagne all the time, full of bubble.

A question for you all, almost 5 months after surgery, how many of you still regurgitate or vomit? I think the longest i went without doing it was 2 weeks...now i am back to once or twice a week

Oh trust me, its not always right, in fact today i bought the chocolate for halloween, couldnt resist, i had 2 of them... I too am really tired of the aspertam taste you find in protein drink

I just received a magic bullet, any suggestion as to what to prepare with that?

This morning so far i have lost 82.5 lbs..at 221 i am now less heavy than my dad lol. Anyways typical food day for me i am from canada so i dont have access to quite the same food as everyone: breakfast greek yogourt 0 or 2% sprinkled with hemp seed, pumpkin seed and some granola with protein, and later , actifruit blueberry juice. Lunch is romain lettuce, celery, radish or bell peper with strip of ckicken breast, and either tzaziki or hummus, and nowadays i am able to add some fruits. Afternoon snacks : a smart bar or almonds or a partial protein bar or a protein drink (premier protine from costco) Diner: if i am really good i will have spaghetti squash with a meet sauce i made from scratch ...or in general meet with veggies. Nite snacks : i will have some of my bf chips,but i try to go towards soy beans or chick peas that feels like i sm having peanuts or something To this day i have trouble eating bread, pasta, rice a d quinoa which i love...i hope it stays that way, on the weekend i eat less sensibly, because the routine is not as easy, than when going to work. For exercice i got myself a jawbone UP 24, and i try to walk 10 000 steps a day becauce my work is extremely sedentary...its togh to do, and now i hsve change a bit with the cold weather i go on the treadmill 20 min with running intervals...however i hsve been bad this week and i have not been on the treadmill or outside at all :-( I have to kick my butt in gear... My weight loss has slowed down, my average was over half a lb a day, i am now below that and it scares me very much, as i eat more and more. I fear after the honeymoon period will be over and i dont lose how i will react...i have not have long stall, but just a general slow down

Its Béen 150 days since thé breginning of this journey (i considèr thé preop as part of thé journey)

I did 4 weeks on pre-op protein shake, got my surgery on may 26th. So far i have lost 73 lbs. I hope to lose another 75 lbs or so ...Something to celebrate right? Yet i find myself struggling with old demons...These past 2 weeks have been tough, i have been munching on chips and sweet stuff, for no reason at all. I have been exercise but somehow i think i have been slacking off. I think what got me down the most was the following: of course after losing 73 lbs you need to get ride of old clothes and get new ones. This weekend i was at my parents and my mom found a bag of clothes did i had left there that use to fit me...they were now fitting me again, and with the limited amount of clothes i have now, this was a welcome suprise. I started thinking when was the last time i wore these clothes, and i would say it was around 2004-2005. Right after i stop using the medication xenecal. And that bothered me...because when i used xenecal i remember being happy of all the weight lost, and i thought that was it, that was the solution, but i found my way around that pill to the point it didnt work and i gain weight again. So whats the difference between now and then? Is it going to stick this time, will i lose and stay thin? I honestly dont know, but i have to try, coz nothing else has worked and if i dont do anything the next 40 years of my life are going to be what? I dont want to end up in a wheel chair sooner than i need to, i dont want my son to be ashame of me when i drop him off to school. I hope upyou find your motivation, and i wish we dont end up sabotaging ourselves in the end Good luck and thank you for bringing this up

I found a trèasure in my mom's addik : 8 pair of pants, 3 shorts, 2 capri, 3 skirts, 2 shirt. That all fit me again. They are from 2002 to 2005i would say . Post my xenecal diet. I am happy to hâve all of thèse again, however it got me down be cause i started thinking when i was taking xenecal i thought that was thé solution ....so what If thé sleeve only works for now, Will it Réally be thé final solution??? I hâve doubts... I see thé other Guy at work who had it, he is not eating right , i am piss at him but at thé same Time i Know that thé impulse to eat is so strong... I hâve started to cheat myself , i dont like it and i am not proud, i just do not Know what to do about how my head is wired

I have lost 73 lbs so far. Generally i do well, but this week i misbehave ( damn period) it scares me because it means that keeping the weight off will be a challenge. I have days when i can eat anything and others where i cant swallow much. Something interesting happened, between july 9th and august 9th i had lost 10 lbs, and between august 9th and september 9th i lost 15lbs..so that was great news. Sometimes you have to look at different rolling average to find out that you are doing better than you think

Finally turn de 70 lbs milestone. I am almost half way there. Next dream to have lose 100 lbs by xmas

Yep there are some metal stapples

They stappled our stomack with metal, like a zipper...i dont believe they sow our stomack together otherwise there could be licks no? Ok i guess i will have to google it our you tub and see a surgery

I have a silly question When we go through metal detector, like at the airport, do we beep now? Will i need to explain i dont have a bomb in my belly ? Lol

I think you need to see your nutrionist, some of these things dont make sense. I am less than 3 months into this and lost 65 lbs, my enegy level is up, i am not hungry, i am not constipate...yes i am losing my hair but if your hair lost has not stopped yet its a definite sign that you are missing nutrients. You didnt look good being fat, i promise you that, over the years uou have convince yourself of that...and now you have some mourning to do because reality is there and you are actuslly letting the miror return you the real image. I do understand that its depressing, i just went through a phase where i was questionning myself about the social aspect of food, we dont go out, family dinner eveery ni are never going to be the same, i cannot drink, and yes i do miss being bad and munching on the wrong things...i love to eat and now thats gone. But what you are going through right now is like when you break up with someone and you miss the sex, and you try to convince yourself it was a good relationship, and you hook up again only to find out that you really arent meant to be together....yes the sex is awsome, but the rest is crap and problems. Be free of the past Good luck

You should call your doctor to make sure...i had a very burning sensation on my ski. but i got some kind of allergic reaction to the tape. But where the biggest cut we have its sensitive for a good 3 weeks, especially bendkng down. You know you are not supposed anything heavy

I eat around 700 cal per day, and since i got my jawbone up24 fitness tracker i make sure to do 10 000 steps per day. I am down 64 lbs SW 304 lbs CW 240 lbs. On the weekend i cleaned my closet and drawer, i now have 2 pair of pants left lol. I need to go shopping but i am trying to wait for the colder weather to hit. It was funny coz i had kept all kinds of clothes from the past, and so i knew i had wear this or that outfit to specific events and i can say that i have erase a good 7 year worth of fat. My biggest wish right now is to be under 200 for x-mas. 4 months to go and 40 lbs ...am i unrealistic?

Shit 73lbs! What do you do?what do you eat? Thats great

Since last wenesday nite i have been having nausea...cannot eat much at all. I never had that prior i am wondering if its not a symptom of dehydration. Over the weekend i was so depressed because i rrealized that there is no joy in eating...it´s just painful and annoying now. I guess its a good thing that food is not a refuge anymore, and that was the whole point of this. But its tough not to have a normal family dinner, or to avoid social event because you cant drink or eat. I dont know maybe its better this way for me in the long run

Oh yes...for at least 3 weeks now, everyday its more than a hand full...i do have lots of hair to begin with...but my gosh there is hair everywhere

Am i the only one that catches every little bug there is out there? I always seem to be sick

I started working this week....omg the stress is so intense...and not only do i spend the day sitting at my desk, i completely stop moving, because at night i just want to sit and be zombified by tv...for now i am still eating ok, but its a matter of time before i start making wrong choices because i didnt have time or i am too tired or i just need to est that comfort food.

Lol yes, i am blonder and and i am renovating my house. My first day at work today in 2 months @argh@

Ok so this day 100. I start counting from the day i had to do my Protein diet which is april 28th, my surgery was on may 26th. So 100 days later i am down by 55 lbs. Its mostly apparent in my butt, so let me show you my ass, before and after. Lol Now i have to keep these stupid clothes for ever...the pants are strecht pants

What about the garmin vivofit....the interesting thing i find about it is that you dont need to charge it for a whole year! and its the only one truely waterproof(with which you can swim)

Sorry i am a French speaking Canadian,I have sometimes a hard time with abbreviation...what does NSV stand for? Thanks
