lol i need you guys on my daily feed. fat brain is real! its not a struggle you can even anticipate. thank you. i've got to stop obsessing! and get therapy

ive had gastritis for years. they said they were going to do something in my surgery that would relieve it but it's still the same. i take omeprozole one a day and it keeps it at bay. it can get really bad if i don't. can you get some?

thank you ladies. this is CRAZY i never thought i would be having this conversation. I think working in a place like i do (there are 2000 people here) so when 20 a day say you're so thin etc and i'm like f you you don't know. until today. today i thought well maybe i am too thin, but i literally have stayed at 145-146 for the last month so if i am today i've been for a month right?? (too thin) ugh. i think you guys are right. its going to take time for my brain to catch up to this.....maybe therapy isn't a bad idea at all. @@AvaFern whoa! 126 sounds tiny (and awesome) for our height. lets see it!

was out of town yesterday. back! hope everyone had a good fourth.

@@kari91 i feel like it's impossible to go back to my old habits. i cannot eat carbs comfortably and that was always my weakness so keeping it keto is super easy for me. i haven't even worked out in a month and i've lost like 4lbs becuz my diet is still good. now do i need to work out? yes. i need to get my ass moving but diet is 80%! you can do it!

sleeved oct 2015. down 86lbs. great job everyone!

So I'm pretty much at my goal weight and, as most of us are… I'm saggy. So now I want to build some muscle and lift weights more intensely but my trainer says I have to eat carbs. Carbs build muscle. My problem is I've taken three weeks off from working out basically just to let my body settle after 85 pounds and my mind and now I have very little motivation so if I eat carbs in the morning and then I don't work out do the carbs turn to fat? I think carbs will turn into one of two things fat or muscle. Is there a way to eat carbs right before I work out so I know they're going to the right place? I don't know. I'm afraid to eat carbs after 10 months almost of no sugar no carbs I'm very adept at the keto thing and it's easy for me. Any help is appreciated

@@Caribear i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone could make a ton of money being a WLS specific personal trainer. it's so much different for us i'm waiting to see what my NUT says thanks ya'll i trust you guys more than some non-sleeved/wls person - <3

@@fancypants67 my thighs are saggy. there is a little bit on my tummy and my butt is totally gone lol but overall i think i've been lucky

thank you for that. i sent an email to my NUT asking what i should do.

Yessss...looking good...keep up the good work Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Thank you. New one from over the weekend.

if i cross my legs over like this (photo on the right) i will look smaller. "these are my skinny jeans" "my bmi isn't that high" "i'm not THAT big"

i think i missed last week. idk but here's the latest. i remember thinking in that photo on the right. if i do the crossover leg thingy i will look skinnier. smh (insert rolling eye emoji here) the lies we tell ourselves when we're fat.

Went on a trip with a friend and I actually felt kind of skinny most of the time. I did put on a bathing suit but I never took off the shorts. I've taken about three weeks off from working out. now I have started eating the carbs to lift weights and gain muscle. It is very hard to eat carbs after being low carb/keto for the last nine months. I've only worked out one time since starting carbs SMH. Having a really hard time getting going again

nothing new to report. i got to 146lbs which is exciting. this week something new is taking place. starting to eat carbs and do muscle buidling workouts. im scared as shit but i trusting my trainer to see how it goes. here are some before pix of my saggy thighs lol. so i'll be "transforming" those from now on

i went to target this weekend. picked a medium dress and extra small sweater off the rack. i wasn't looking for xs by the way but all they had was xs or xxl lol. i went to the dressing room and saw myself full length in the mirror and thought holy ****. i think i'm small. am i small? on the daily i feel just like i always felt. like i feel better but still fat. could it be that im not perceived as fat anymore? why is it so important? how do we switch over from "fat mentality" to what's real? to what's actually happening with our bodies right now? am i still viewed as "fat" by society? am i normal now? is a size 8/10 still fat? how will i know when to stop? all the questions you didn't realize would linger so long.....

I actually increased my fat when I stalled. No carbs no sugar increased fat. The pouch reset is a good idea too tho lol

@@Andrea72 haha i'll hurry

@@Andrea72 yes i hear ya. it's all kinda trial and error for us i think we (our bodies) react differently than non sleeved peeps. ive felt much better since upping my fat. much more energy. of course i stopped being a cardio bunny recently and now im gonna start lifting more so stand by on that verdict lol

@@Andrea72 thats something else i forgot to mention- we can't use everyone else's chart but we can try to use the percentages. i literally try to add fat anywhere i can. coffee with heavy whipping cream, bacon and scrambled eggs whipped in cream with cream cheese filling and avocado etc lol. load up on that fat and see how ur body responds and go from there!

Eep this one is bad lol.

the one thing i like about keto is it doesn't have to be precise to work. i was low carb for the first about 5 months. then i started increasing my fat. (at will, no counting) and my weight started coming off again. i have no idea how much of anything i consume and i know that's not the recommended way so don't do what i do but im down 85lbs and the the tweaks have worked for me. low carb, high fat, low sugar (p.s. im strict on the sugar i don't even do carrots or corn or beets) good luck!
