Im 5'2 and about 145lbs currently trying to get back out of the 140s i was so close like 2 months ago. Then i gained 20lbs, now I'm going back down. Striving to look as toned and trim as you. You look amazing. Im trying to get to around 125 by my 2 year post op in October 5. wish me luck. Maybe then ill post some before and afters. You guys all look amazing. So happy for each and every one of you. Keep up the great work!![emoji8][emoji6][emoji3] Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Torriluv87 replied to Monkeyfulbrighter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Gained weight after medication
Torriluv87 replied to earnestclark's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Any time post surgery that I've gained I'll just go back to basics. Protein first. Veggies, minimal carbs, more water and more walking. Comes off way easier than before. But i haven't taken gabapentin long enough post surgery to notice a difference tho. Also haven't taken birth control since surgery cause I'm afraid of possible gain.

How much have you lost?
Torriluv87 replied to sasa_maria's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hiya! Im 5'2 and my highest was 272 (way before surgery) the day of surgery Oct 5, 2016, i was 248.8 and today i am 152.4lbs. My lowest was 140. Trying to get back to that maybe lower. Ultimate gw is 120. That would put me at 152lbs total loss. Im obsessed lol. But I've been teetering from 140s to 150s for some months now. My eating had changed but im changing it right back for the better. Cant go gaining all that weight back[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Food isn’t appealing and I’m not hungry
Torriluv87 replied to mbj8r8's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I feel this way most of the time. I find that having too many options make me anxious and i shut down and would rather someone else make the decision for me. Then ill just pick the lower carb option i can find and take forever to eat it. But that's dining out. When im home i just avoid food until i can't anymore. It's just annoying and i usually don't have much time so I'll make sure I'm hydrated if i don't have time to eat. Its just easier and faster and i don't have to think about it. It's not always healthy but im working on it. Therapy helps. My cousin just pointed out to me that before surgery if i lived alone I'd have a house full of food. Now, post surgery if i lived alone my house would look so sad in the food department. But it didn't occur to me the switch until she pointed it out. Weird how that happens huh? Sorry im rambling. It's late and im procrastinating packing for my trip[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Thank you so much for that. You seem pretty normal in the way you approach things. It seems pretty natural. It's pretty much what i try to stick to. Snacking IS a problem. Especially around that time of the month. But im getting my groove back. Making more of an effort to prioritize my water and protein and trying to get in more activity. I had gone to the gym a few times with my sister but i did a lot of weights and got really sore. Maybe ill just keep it simple and stick to cardio and yoga. Thanks for the help. Keep up the great work![emoji3] Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Ummm tips please! You look bomb.com hunty! How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 5'2 and 150lbs currently and you look how i wish i looked lol. Been trying to hit the gym but it makes my fibro flare up so I'm probably going to work into yoga and just keep walking about an hour a day. You've REALLY motivated me to get these last 30lbs off. I had surgery 2 months before you, so i feel like a surgery sister lol. You're amazing. Im such a slacker compared to most of you guys. Keep up the good work girl!

I'll be 2 years in Oct. It's been hard these last several months. All i want is junk food. So I'm making my way back to basics so i can lose my last 20 to 30lbs. Which I'd like to do before my 2 year post op visit. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes i am also curious how the ulcers occurred. I hope you can get better. That sounds like it sucks. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Plain cold water for me is hit or miss. I favor teas and 0 calorie, 0 sugar drinks. Room temp water is where it's at for me. I can usually do just fine with that. But put ice in it and the game changes a bit. Tea is fine cold or hot, i don't know why. But it's a favorite for me. I am 16 months out and many things still give me pause but you take the good with the bad. You just gotta do a little trial and error. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm over a treat out and rarely drink soda. It's just not comfortable. I'll badge a few sips here and there every so often but its not with the discomfort or the calories and sugar. I really dont miss it much. I can drink enough to be satisfied but it does nothing but make me sick and angry so i don't bother much at all lol. I like it this way. I have enough temptation issues lol Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Torriluv87 replied to BrandiceLeSha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Love this!! Same thing keeps happening to me. My sister keeps giving me clothes she's bought that are too small or too big for anyone in her house. Which isn't hard cause I'm currently a S/M and a size 6-8 (depending on cut). But the smallest person in her house is my 12 year old niece lol. So when she gives me something that looks tiny I'm just like yeah right. And i humor myself and try it on and it fits. Such a mind f*ck i swear lol.

What have you done to alleviate the pain/symptoms of a numb tingling butt?
Torriluv87 replied to Newme17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I heard it's hell for almost a year. But i did hear it does get better. But i don't think it's worth it for me as of yet. Think I'll have someone just fill out the back for me with some of the front, see how that goes lol. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app
