Not losing, and needing encouragement
Happy Destiny replied to lavonwarrior's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Holli, I can relate, but please don't follow my path. I thought I would just fly through this, but I'm back where I started. I'm eating just about anything I want and have not lost any more weight! I have had tendonitis & plantar fascitis since the beginning so I haven't been exercising which is probably a big part that my weight loss was so slow, although now it's like I threw in the towel because I've never overcome the eating issues. Thank you for your honesty because I've avoided this site...I feel like a failure. Any chance you would like to chat? It's hard telling people who have not had this surgery what's going on and how I feel! Thanks Holli & everyone else!!! Sheryl -

Thanks for sharing! I've been beating myself up mentally which only leads to defeat... You've given me a shot of hope to try, try, again! :confused1:

Thanks I needed to hear that. I'm going to go back to 2 Protein shakes a day for a week and see what happens! Thanks again, Sheryl

I'm almost totally off track. Life's been crazy and I've been using food not in the huge way I used to, but the ism's of addiction are still there. I haven't lost any weight in over a month. I'm totally depressed about it, but trying to keep a "good face" as I did before surgery. I'm going through a phase of plantar fascitis which prevents me from even walking very much. I needed to say all of this just to hear it myself. I'm grateful this forum is here so I can do it. If anyone has any suggestions or has fallen into this pitfall and has their experience to share with me, it would be so appreciated!!!! Thanks One & All!

You're doing Amazing!!!! So happy for you. I think my weight is starting to come off again after a lonnnng stall. I've gone back to 2 shakes a day. Unable to exercise much due to knee & hip pain which has increased due to not taking aleve. I'm still trying and hoping to catch up to you one day. ~SMILES~ Sheryl

Hey Ms. Diva,
You're looking wonderful! I noticed in the beginning of your journey, the weight was coming off kinda slow. I'm curious how you've kept taking weight off. I had surgery in May and haven't lost anything in the past 6 wks. I'm feeling like a failure! Let me know if you have any ideas. Thx, Sheryl

Thanks for sharing your experience! I've been struggling somewhat over the last week. I've not been exercising and I think that is one of the reasons I haven't been losing over the last couple weeks. I also was eating Breakfast instead of having a shake which is packed with 30 gms of Protein. Could you share with me what your typical day of eating looks like. Thanks, Sheryl -
You look fabulous!!!! Congrats! -
You look awesome! Congrats on doing so well. My weight is coming off much slower, but i'm still grateful.

Beautiful Woman!!! From the inside-out!!!!! Congrats on getting healthy! -
I drink premium nutrition protein drinks. I get them at Costco 18 for about $25. They have 30 gms of protein and 170 calories. They taste good to me. I also don't like any of the ones you listed. If you haven't tried it, try it you might like it

Happy Destiny replied to texbel's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, Hope your surgery went well! If your experience turns out to be anything like mine, you'll be very satisfied. I had no problems post surgery except for a couple bouts with left lower quadrant pain 2-3 wks post op. Let me know how you're doing when your up to it! Best of Luck, Sheryl -

Has anyone felt like they aren't...
Happy Destiny replied to texashopeful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for sharing your experience. Mine has been almost identical to yours and I was sleeved the day after you also by Dr. Nick. You've made me feel better because I really thought I've been doing something wrong since I'm not doing as good as some others are, but I continue to be grateful I am not able to stuff myself the way I used to and I continue to trudge the road....:scared0: -
Glad to hear your sunny personality!!!! I'm the same way. When I'm not losing I kinda hibernate, but what has helped my attitude is to remember not to compare my weight loss with those who lose like crazy! When I looked at that I saw I was comparing myself with people who are almost half my age! I've been losing really slllooowww,but I already had diabetes, htn, and age against me. I have also started working out which is helping me with energy & attitude too! Glad to hear from you my friend, keep shining sweet friend!!!

Thanks, I really haven't been counting carbs and I do get my protein & H2o in. I'm still elated about my progress. Have an awesome day Christie!

Quality of life after sleeve
Happy Destiny replied to 4romatl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks for posting this thread, it made me reflect on my decision to have this surgery. As many others have already replied, I'm grateful I did this for myself. I also have a Doc in the family and he thought this was the best gift I could ever give myself. My health was going down the drain I was taking 16 pills a day and now I only take 3-4! Life is good. My weight loss is not as fast as others but I'm losing slow and steady which is fine with me..today. Good luck and remember this is your health, your body, your life, don't let others make the decision for you. Good luck on your adventure called life! Hope to see you on the road of Happy Destiny! :)Sheryl
