Getting to be impossible to lose!
TealSister replied to akreese02's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I gained 3 lbs over Thanksgiving as well. I feel like I'm in such a rut and am getting frustrated with my s-l-o-w progress the past 3 months. Some days it's hard to remain positive - even though I/we have come so far! -
This Friday marks one year since my mom/best friend passed away. She battled stage 4 brain cancer for 11 months. It was the most hel*ish thing I have ever witnessed. Although I'm relieved she is no longer suffering, I miss her every day. Yesterday I really struggled and stuffed my face with chips, ice cream and popcorn because I knew I wouldn't feel full if I ate those foods. Need to get a grip!

@@Proud2BMe They are a HUGE weakness for me as well. Did you know that a serving of honey roasted peanuts has 4-5 g of sugar and vanilla greek yogurt has 20-30 g of sugar? So it's a much better choice, right?? Maybe not. Not if I mindlessly munch on them and flavored almonds. I found Target brand ziplock bags with measurements on them. I started individually packaging nuts so I don't overindulge. They are so yummy!

All of these holiday losses and I gained 2 lbs. So discouraging, but I know where I failed (many "little" bites of desserts), so I know how to fix it.

Hello! I just looked closely in the mirror yesterday and saw this. Don't mind the sun spots and blurriness - look at the wrinkly dimply mess. This is my cheek cheek.pdf Does anyone have any suggestions to tighten up this area? Any lotions or creams that actually work? I'm not looking for a miracle cure, just something to help out a little. Thanks!!

Six Month Milestone
TealSister replied to LosingSomeLisa's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You are doing great! Keep your chin up! -
The scale read 200 lbs this morning. That makes my total loss 102 lbs and only one lb left until onderland! The past two months have been slow moving, but getting so close to seeing 1xx on the scale is really motivating!

What have you learned to love since WLS?
TealSister replied to dhrguru's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Wait, whuuuuut?? I am always so dang cold, I keep a cardigan on hand every where I go!! I used to wear one in the heat of the summer to "cover" my fat. Every. Single. Day. Now it is a CHOICE to wear it. -
What have you learned to love since WLS?
TealSister replied to dhrguru's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have learned to love... * Crossing my legs - how did I sit before??? * Not wearing cardigans over everything * Being social again * Accepting compliments ... and many more. Who would have thought -

I have no idea how long it stays in your system, but you need to stop. Not only for your health, but some surgeons will cancel surgery if your blood work shows nicotine usage. Quitting sucks, but you can do it!!

1. How about you? YES - no coffee/caffeine EVER, no alcohol EVER. 2. Why do you think your advice differed? No idea - some belong to "centers of excellence", some don't. Each surgeon / nutritionist has a method to their madness

Real intimacy isn't sex, so how do you get there?
TealSister replied to OKCPirate's topic in Singles Forum
This is so timely for me, @OKCPirate. My husband and I are currently battling about physical vs emotional/intellectual intimacy. It all comes down to physical for him. I have sexual issues anyway (yes, I'm in counseling, etc) so it feels almost like being violated - if that makes sense - to just have sex for sex. I need to feel the connection we used to feel. There is SOOO much more to it than the physical part. Thanks for the book referral! -
Activities that fueled my food addiction and over consumption of unhealthy foods
TealSister replied to Ray92's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Mine were * Reading - I'm an avid reader and always munched while reading. Reading on the iPad "helped" because my hands were more free to feed my face * Eating lunch at work - I'd leave work earlier than most for lunch break, then come back to my desk and graze/stuff my face for the next 1-2 hours while the rest of my co-workers were at lunch. -

I used peroxide/baking soda to whiten my teeth (brushed with it after toothpaste) and it worked. Also sometimes poured peroxide on my toothbrush instead of Water and added toothpaste.

I know this is going to be WILDLY popular... ;)
TealSister replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just saw this -- I've been debating a 5-day challenge. I will take the leap and do it. Like you said, we did it for two weeks, so 5 days should be a piece of cake I'll be on my own but am committing here and now. Let us know your results! You are soooo close to goal! -
I'm in - definitely a timely challenge! Exercise Goal = 5 days a week totaling at least is 4 hours/week Current Weight = 202 Goal Weight = 194 Thank you!!
