Losing in my mid section but having the hardest time finding new jeans. The ones i have on are way too big! Anyone else having similar issues?
valkyrie88 replied to valkyrie88's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I always stayed away from american eagle because they never fit me lol i was looking in boscovs macys and h&m and no such luck. I have thick thighs and big hips so even though i lost a lot of weight so far i still have trouble finding fitting jeans ???? i know il lose weight in my legs soon but so far no luck lol but those jeans i have on in the pic, i can take on an off without unbuttoning or unzipping lol their huge! -

I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)
valkyrie88 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
That week was like the absolute most depressing week of my life lol i kept taking my medicine so i could feel some what better an go to sleep but i assure u it does get better, i thought it never would but then before i knew it, i was out walking and feeling so good. Il totally keep u updated! Pm me if u have any questions, i love to help! -
Number wise idk lol i just try to get Protein at each meal. I can give u example of one of my days lol each day is different. But heres yesterday. Breakfast- wheat toast & Peanut Butter <-- good protein Lunch- cheese steak without roll with mushrooms,onions,hot peppers and green peppers. (Had maybe a cup of this) Dinner- half chicken breast with string Beans. I still allow myself a snack a day but i use to snack all day long because like you i thought i had too. But one or two Snacks wont hurt u. But i switched my snack to like carrots and guacamole or a cheese stick rather than popcorn & such Also, if u get hungry at night and dont think u got enough protein in, half a banana and peanut butter hit the spot No problem, glad it helps!

how long did it take you to recover ? You look awesome! Ty! ???? i had a rough recovery bc i suck with pain lol but i was fine after a week, had two weeks off from work. Im almost two months out and have my energy back, i feel completely back to normal now woohoo! Lol -
You'll def see a difference. I didnt realize i was adding un necessary calories into my stomach. Also for protein i do meat
-
Nah , my surgeon said all i needed was three meals a day with Protein. And your liquids of course..i use to have so many low calorie Snacks all through out the day an then when i stopped i started losing lol Your main focus in the early stage is getting in your protein, thats the most important thing

Honestly i would just keep working out and getting in your protein. U cant really do much else to make it go faster. Sadly, it happens at its own pace. Do u eat/snack daily? I was an my doc told me at a follow up not too, just three meals a day of protein an then thats when i started losing faster.

You have to just try and be patient. Trust me, it will start coming off when you least expect it. When i was on a stall people still kept saying everyday how skinny im getting, think of it this way, when your on a stall, your most likely losing inches. But trust me when i say, the weight will start to fall off. I was stuck at the same time u were and then BOOM started coming off again And also, a couple pounds a week is great! Every person is completely different with their surgery. Not everyone loses the weight fast. Besides, a slower weight loss is a good thing, less loose skin
-
I was at a stall four weeks out and then before i knew it weight started falling again. They say when you have only 100 lbs or less to lose, the weight loss will happen at a slower pace
