I would love to take an XL. To be able to buy clothes in any store would be great????

Congrats. I am considering finding my scale after taking a 14 day break from "NO SCALE VICTORIES" to non scale ones. My jeans almost fell off me last weekend while dancing and I really need some new shirts.

Good luck on your journey!

Day 1 of my pre-op diet, and SO many questions
MarieMarie replied to CherieRyde's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not hungry when I have a protein drink or make a shake with protein powder. Actually since pre op I cannot remember being hungry. Keep busy, work on a craft it something to keep your mind off food. Add doing something that makes YOU happy -

Slow weight loss
MarieMarie replied to MarieMarie's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I did 15,000 steps today. Amazing -
Of course I would like dramatic results since I feel I have changed my eating habits, calorie intake and exercise routine. I use to loose more on my fad diets but then regained. I sure hope this slowly but surely method wins the Game

Gas pains still?
MarieMarie replied to Seymour1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think gas lasted 8 weeks. A few burps now and again still -
I love my fitbit. I bought each of my girls one. We can do challenges with each other

Breast Reduction Surgery Soon -- Many Questions
MarieMarie replied to IcanMakeit's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I had a breast reduction done 15 years ago. I have been a happy person since. I highly recommend it. I took 2 weeks off work as I had a very physical job but in reality it was a vacation as I felt great after. -
I am not getting enough steps in my day. Fitbit checks on me. I went to the gym last night and walked the treadmill and did some cardio and strength training. I am at a major stall so need to up my movement

High Fat Diet / Eating Disorders / Taste Buds / My Guilty Secret
MarieMarie replied to SashaWLS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I drink hot flavoured tea to relax. Gives me the warm cuddly feeling and low calories???? -
Time for an ultra sound. Many bandsters have had to have theirs removed. Monitor what you have ate before the pain

Breakfast is bagel and peanut butter or cereal with fruit or porridge Lunch is a salad with chicken Supper is small portion of meat, vegetable. I am trying to incorporate more carbs so will add more starchy vegetables as I am gluten intolerant. Snacks are protein bar, protein shake if I am not eating enough protein, cheese and cracker, yoghurt

The hope that one day I will have a large success to share and enjoy. It is wonderful to have HOPE again -
The nurse gave me an Ativan for anxiety to sleep that night. I am not a good patient.

I had a hernia repair done also. I was up walking that evening and pushed myself to walk between rests

Share Your NSVs Here Please!
MarieMarie replied to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!'s topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I hid my scale this week to concentrate on some NSV's. It is time to give up some tops, the neckline drops below my bra at not the best of times☺️ -
I have had many phone conversations with my Doctors office as I have not had a fill yet. I have been advised that it isn't about feeling full. Am I feeling hungry between meals after small meals from my meal plan. I have no heart burn. It is still hard for me to stop the bad habits but I am learning as I go on my Journey
-
Definitely create a food log so you can see if it happens with certain foods. I am post surgery 2.5 months and do have lots of gas at times. Gasex strips work wonders. Keep your Doctor updated with changes
-
An inspiration for sure. I hid my scale for a week, I was getting very depressed with no weight loss.
