I'm happy to hear you are still losing and the point is you aren't gaining. I have been eating a lot lately but I feel like I need it otherwise I have been shaky and semi sick. I did put on two pounds but its up then down ect. I just try not to pay attention and not let it get to me. Stay strong!

i think we have all let some bad habits slip into our lives again and I'm not really wanting to beat myself up about it. i just want to recognize it and move on. We never said we weren't going to eat normal I think we needed to learn portion control and moderation, I'm glad that everyone is still doing so well. I know that working out is so hard... I still go daily but lately it has been a true struggle, I go but it is not for as long and I'm hating it more then ever. I'm going to take some time off in November for my birthday weekend and hope when I come back relaxed and happy I will once again be committed in the sense that when I do go I'm not slugging along!

Eating too much, still hungry, stalled
Veronica Page replied to maloney731's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
well you just had your surgery and hunger is still going to be an issue time to time. Also have you spoken to your surgeon about you having acid reflux problems? I was experiencing this at first and thought I shouldn't be this hungry and once I started on prilosec I was fine. Over time you will learn the difference between real hunger, head hunger, boredom and acid issues. Don't fret. Its ok to feel hungry you won't die believe me. Just occupy your mind and your time. Stay stop and you will over come all these lil issue. Most of us have! Good luck! -
Disappointed - Minimal Weight Loss 9 months post op
Veronica Page replied to Giselle426's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have no shame in saying that I go to OE meetings. They have helped sooo much. Its helps me figure out why I turn to food. Is it emotional is it an actually physically hunger? Plus it put me in contact with people who know what I'm going through and when I'm really struggling with wanting to binge I have someone from group I can call. Just like anything food is a real addiction and can be found so much more easily that your common addictions. I had to learn how to basically re-eat. It sucks and yes occasionally I cheat or slip and have things I shouldn't but instead of a binge on that food, now I have one and then can easily go oh you naughty girl you know this is wrong and just move on. It is hard to change eating styles and learn how to eat properly, but with determination and will power you can really work your revision and lose this weight and have the long lasting effects you are seeking. Rooting for you! -
People have it wrong with me I don't want to be skinny I want to be healthy!

I think it can be normal time to time. Some days I forget to eat and other days I feel like I'm grazing all day like I haven't eaten for days. I noticed on the days I graze its kinda my fault cause I'm eat really cruddy foods and not eating things that are high in protein and good fats that keep me satisfied for longer periods of time. Or its around the TOM when all when are a lil bit more hungry and going through a hormone fluctuation. My suggestion? Don't sweat it and just make yourself snacks to keep on you or in the pantry or fridge already prepared. This way they are healthy and not carb or sodium laden. You'll be fine! Good luck!

Well don't stress about the weight until you get yourself on a healthy path. Are you still drinking a lot of protein shakes? I only drink once occasionally when I'm low on the protein. Otherwise I can't stand the taste anymore and yes I get a lil bit of a bowel issue with them as well. Some say it is cause they are high is soy which tends to do that. You are at a great weight so far and when you are more mobile that weight is going to slide right off. Great job!

welcome to the site and how is your progress going so far?

I'm 8 months out and I eat between 1000-1400. I know it seems like a lot to sooo many people but I work out A LOT and not just cardio but I do some heavy duty strength training, hike and do zumba and yoga, everyday i do something. I was semi being told it was a lot so I cut back to 1000 a day and was starving and feel ill and said forget it I do more I need more. I might not lose as fast but my weight loss is steady and healthy according to my surgeon and nut so I'm ok with it!

How Many Calories Are You Eating?
Veronica Page replied to TamaraS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 8 months out and eat anywhere from 900-1200 calories a day but I work out a lot...every day and its high impact so I need more food and if I don't eat enough I hit a major stall. I do eat carbs but a lot but I need them and I tend to change up how much I eat everyday. Some days I'll even intake 1500, then 1300 then to 1000 its called caloric confusion and helps when I stall out. Only time I drink any calories is when I have a protein shake cause I'm low some days otherwise its sugar free iced tea and water. Good luck to everyone! -
I've heard that it happens to people occasionally due to the fluctuation of hormones. Don't stress and make sure to just drink your water it will help flush out the toxins and keep your skin clear. Good luck!

ok just jumping on the thread to say I lost my 100 lbs and I'm thrilled. It has been really hard lately with all the stress but I still stick to the program and work the heck out of it! I hope everyone is doing well and I'm cheering for everyone daily !

I started working out 6 weeks post op and go to the gym, 6 days a week. I do cardio everyday and strength train every other day. Twice a week with a trainer mostly. Muscle is leaner so when I don't lose I focus on that cause it helps me look thinner and burn more calories. The more muscle you have the more effectively you burn calories. If you have any physical restrictions. then start out slow and work your way up. i won't lie I loathe the gym still after 8 months but I like the results and go purely for that reason. Just make sure you keep your Protein up, Water intake high and you will be successful! Good luck!

Child's portion card?
Veronica Page replied to MrsKarenC2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a card my surgeon gave me and since I'm a picky eater I do give it to the people when I go to buffet and since I was going to those restaurants since before I had surgery they know me pretty well and they charge me the child price instead of the adult. So to me in those instances it is worth it. At the average restaurant though it is not worth it to me since the kids menu is not all that great and is geared towards kids and their palates. I would try here and there to see if they are willing once and awhile to offer a discount since you can't eat an average adult portion but since I do get to take the food home and get a second meal out of it I tend not to even care! -
FINALLY lost a pound took a month but I'll take it!

How Do You Get Yourself Out the Door to Exercise?
Veronica Page replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I put my gym clothes on first thing in the morning and it motivates me to make sure I go to the gym. Plus I started a mom and kid stroller walk on Saturdays since I live near a nice paved trail and moms always want others to talk to. -
Congrats and you look so beautiful. I'm happy for you and your progress. I'm getting offline for a lil while cause I'm not losing and I'm thinking I just need to stop thinking about it for awhile! GREAT job everyone!

Unless you puke, faint or die keep going! You got this!
