Hey Christie, you are looking Amazing girl! Looks like your weight is just melting off. May I ask how many carbs a day do you consume? My weight loss is much slower than yours, but I guess I should take into consideration that I'm almost 20 yrs older than you and have been carrying this weight for a long time! So happy you decided to do this now instead of later! Keep on rockin that sleeve!

Hi Jennylou, I always love looking at the new photos people post and then I like to look at their site. I had my surgery in May and was also self pay. I went to Nick Nicholson in Dallas. Who is going to perform your surgery? I'm excited for you the surgery comes with some lifestyle changes to work, but it's all worth it!!!

You're looking Fantastic!!!! CONGRATS!!!! -

Happy Destiny posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
IT'S BEEN 8WKS AND 4 DAYS. My weight loss has been slow and I believe it fluctuates quite a bit due to water weight. But today I finally hit an even 30 lbs!!!! I have 99 to go and I finally feel like I'm headed there!!! Thanks for all the encouragement I've been given on this site! Love y'all, Sheryl:lol0: -
Hi Kathy and congrats on your surgery! I found walking helped alleviate the gas that was bound up in me causing me terrible pain. They highly recommended walking & sipping liquids!!!! So maybe go to a mall or something indoors to walk:hurray: it will be to your Advantage!!! Go luck, get ready....Start:biggrin0:

Has anyone felt like they aren't...
Happy Destiny replied to texashopeful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know exactly how y'all feel! I've only lost 29 lbs and had surgery on May 18th. I just started real exercise today!!!!! When I went for my 6 wk ck up the PA told me not to compare myself to others. She said I was right on track! I wish my weight was peeling off too, but she reminded me the avg. weight loss is 70% of your loss in the first year. I know many others loss faster, but I'm still keeping my chin up and... trudging the road of Happy Destiny! Good Luck to all! -
What do YOU eat in a typical day?
Happy Destiny replied to JillianMarie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Jillian, I was sleeved on May 18th and I too am able to eat more than the avg. sleever. I can eat 4-5 oz.s of protein with 1/2 veggies or potatoes. I also have a sf popsicle or ww frozen desert afterwards as my snack at night. I think I'm having too many carbs because I'm not losing very fast. I went for my 6 wk ck-up last week. They said it was good to feel "normal" not to worry and keep doing what I was doing. I do need to add more excercise! Week 3-6 I pulled something on my left side which was very painful. I've recovered and haven't had any pain since. I also notice weight loss is slower if I'm not drinking all my fluids. Let me know what your Md says, please! Good Luck, Sheryl:001_rolleyes: -
Weird...and some TMI to boot.
Happy Destiny replied to goodlife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so happy for you! I'm not losing. Haven't for a few weeks!:confused1: I think I may be eating too many carbs. That's all I can figure. Do you eat low carb all the time? -

Happy Destiny replied to Marci's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wonderful! Congrats, I would be amazed if I could lose as much as you have in such a short time! What's the secret? -
Wowee! I had my surgery on May 18th and have lost almost 30 lbs. I'm happy but it feels so slow...

Hi Jenn I just saw your pre/post op pics, Awesome! I was wondering how much weight have you lost in the last 6 mos? You look incredible! Sheryl
-
Yeah! Things sound like there rolling along just fine! I'm doing well, but the weight just seems to be holding on. I'm trying to get to the 30lb mark. Hopefully that will happen soon! Thanks for sharing, Sheryl

G*DD^mnit *&$@%+!!!!!
Happy Destiny replied to pcindy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
:svengo:Wow, what a lot to take in a day!! I'm glad you shared this and loved how you got around to all the positive things you remembered you have and that you'll be healthier going into surgery. With such a positive outlook things will only get better. My philosophy is nothing happens by mistake. Not to say I like everything that comes my way but if I can live One day at a time, things always seem to come together exactly as they should be. I was scheduled for April and due to conflicts at work, they would not give me the time off then. But as usual it all worked out and I got sleeved in May. Hang in there, it's well worth the wait. Best of Luck(Maybe somewhere down the line we can meet, my Sister lives on Coronado) Sheryl:001_rolleyes: -
Antidepressants?
Happy Destiny replied to Morgandobes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely talk with your M.D. ASAP. Most antidepressants need to be tapered off. I take antidepressants and I only missed the day of surgery. I crushed them the first couple of weeks and put them in yogert or no sugar added apple sauce. I'm not sure about the particular one that you take. -
Allright Friend, what did you eat to keep the momentum of weight loss going???? Mine is just creeping along. I've been charting all my food and still no loss.:cursing::cursing::cursing:

Sigh... stall...
Happy Destiny replied to ouroborous's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't feel so bad! I can top you in the self pity dept. LOL I have not lossed again this week I stalled for almost two weeks and gained 2 lbs that time and then finally lost 4. Now I'm stuck again. I have been charting my food but still to no avail. Come on weight loss!!!! -
