Depression and feelings of giving up
JosieAppleHead replied to soready17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here, I was frustrated waking up at 5 am weekdays to walk 3 miles before work. To see no results and weighing even more than when I started. Missing my fatty foods all for more weight? I said to myself, working out a week or two and gaining weight is not muscle and it’s not water, but my clothes were loose and I felt lighter so where was all this madness coming from? I read some where something that made a lot of sense, all the stresses and strains from those workouts causes tearing and release healing liquids that take time to go away. So what you see as a plateau could be your body going through a healing process. And that binge will not set you back as bad as you probably felt afterwards, let that self affliction of hurting yourself go and fast. It is better to stay at a weight than gain.

Try adding the unflavored unjury kind to grits or Soup try the powder kind. I couldn't do any thing but Syntax nectar they sell the individual packs at Vitamin Shoppe see how you like them with the milk you drink I started with the Lactose free fat free milk from Walmart now I use almond milk 30 calories with my Syntax has no after taste or smell.

Has anyone had cereal?
JosieAppleHead replied to cuchas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried it but it didn't go to well the whole liquids and solids had me with the bubble stomach. My doc and nut said cereal was cool but the cheerios and brans stuff (Which I love anyway) but not since then. We had surgery around the same time so you should be able to try it. -

You have come to far to turn back now. you are 20lbs from losing 100lbs thats major. Why are you sabotaging yourself? tfarr, you have a beautiful baby in the pic with you who is cheering for you to be her role model and in her eyes you are the best and whats crazy is you know you are worth this, you know you deserve this and you know you can do this. Why are you afraid of your own success? Pull up those boot straps throw out all of that junk food and do this cause it will make you feel good about yourself and good about life and good about your health. HEY LADY, YOU ARE WORTH IT! The only thing between you and losing this weight to your goal is YOU! Now big huge hug and lets look at this as one meal messed up back to plan. -
Meal plans for week 3 post op ideas?
JosieAppleHead replied to mystiq's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Which stage are you on week three for most people is different. -
I went from a 44DDD TO A 40DD. I still can fit my 44 DDD on the sides it supports the under arm flubber but the cups are sad, but not a real big issue. You will probably be ready to downsize in 2-3 months so just be prepared I have not resorted to the unibra as of yet I just bought 2 because I had 2 that were too tight before and now they fit perfect. I found some inexpensive Bras at wally world $10 so worse case scenario while you are in transition buy a cheap one or two. Don't be in to much of a hurry to find the right size cause you are still losing and you may lose it faster or slower but you are not at goal and don't want to get to comfortable in these temporary sizes.

Where does everyone get there vitamins? I'm trying to figure out what would be best.. I can get them through my Doctor for $122.00 every 3 months.
JosieAppleHead replied to mboyd74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I buy Opurity brand once a day Multivitamin 90 day supply for under $40. I buy citrical calcium citrate for less than $12 a month. So, I spend $76 for 3 months worth of Vitamins and supplements. There is a link for opurity on this site and I buy the calcium form Amazon. My nut also recommended the Centrum chewable 2X a day for 100 count its about $10 so 50 days worth. -
At what point can you have mashed potatoes?
JosieAppleHead replied to sonnysun's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think closer to 2 weeks during pureed and soft food stage -
Cucumbers and carrots are another option. Seriously some crackers are low in carbs and give you like six with less than 100 calories. I can't eat six crackers plus this is one snack and not an everyday event for this one time I don't see it as a fat meal that will destroy your regular healthy eating.

How are you (mentally, physically)? Hows work/family? How are your eating schedule? What are you doing for exercise? What are you having trouble with? What advice do you have for sleevers a month after you? Single sleevers (and committed) noticed anyone trying to flirt? Favorite food? I will start How are you (mentally, physically)? I feel good but since I hit 60lbs lost I felt the self sabotage itch I got when I last lost 60 pounds. But I didn't act on it which will usually be eat something outrageously unhealthy like a honeybun or something. I did not exercise 2 days this week because of procrastination and in part that self sabotage itch but I did 4 miles the next day instead of 3 miles. Hows work/family? I am a full time student who wants to work so bad but must get this degree first. School is going awesome, family is falling in line as far as keeping temptations out of site and being supportive of my daily walking. How are your eating schedule? I need to work on this. I ordered some containers for meal prepping hoping to get some ideas from you guys on what to prep for lunch and Breakfast? I have dinner and Snacks lined up. What are you doing for exercise? Right now I walk 3 miles a day for 6 days I use 2 apps Nike+ which has challenges with friends to see who walks the most and measures distance and miles, and I have a vivo fit that I wear everyday that does the same. I am open for friends on both apps. What are you having trouble with? eating on schedule, knowing what to eat for breakfast and lunch? What advice do you have for sleevers a month after you? If you haven't already start exercising as much as you can, make a eating schedule to eat every three hours. Plan your meals. No one is perfect so keep your cheat meals to a minimum if you find yourself cheating every week, you have a problem and should nip it in the bud. Don't sweat that someone else lost 100 plus pounds in 3 months and you haven't lost 20 pounds you will get there. Single sleevers (and committed) noticed anyone trying to flirt? It could be I am feeling myself but I always think someone other than me thinks Im cute. joking, I haven't noticed anyone. I am now over 3 months out still walking still losing down 64lbs. I reached the weightless goal I set last month today, which was 15lbs. I see a lot of others who may started close to my weight and may have lost more than I or some who may not have lost as much, but I am content that the scale is steadily going down no matter the amount. The goal is we all get to our optimum healthy weight that we set for ourselves and stay there. Does not matter how fast we get there as long as we are headed in that direction. With that said, I now allow myself healthy carbs like a half of a baked sweet potato and fruits like apples. I eat spinach based salads like Subways steak and cheese (without the cheese, lactose intolerant) fat free onion sauce or the tuna salad usually with all the veggies excluding onion and olives. My stomach still bubbles just not as much. I can eat almost anything I don't try with foods that don't have.

it is an app that actually tracks your miles you walk or run and it lets you do challenges with friends. In September I did a mile a day with some of my app friends. It tracks the miles per hour and motivates you just another app, but Nike makes it. and the official site is Nike+.com
