Do you belong to myfitnesspal.com if not you should join. It's free, and keeps track of all your calories, ptotein, exercise etc., and it's all in memory, so you can always go back and check out how you were doing say,,,, 4 months ago. You can view other peoples diary, and see what there doing and chat with folks, a lot of them are from here too.

I am Losingintime over there, look me up.....

Shirley I saw you mention fitnesspal to so many people. I had been journaling my eating in a notebook. this is so much easier!! thanks for such a great site.

I'd say it is the best thing I've done since surgery, I log everything - even the no no's. I think I am much more honest now!??

It has only been 7 months...lol. But I think the key is exercise. I exercise at least 2 hours a day. I love it...never thought I would say that. I am sick now and my body is all achy and I am trying to figure out how I can do it even though I know I can't. I did walk for 30 mins today, which is nothing compared to what I usually do. I usually do the Wii Fit for 40 mins before work...when I come home at least 1 hour 15 mins of cardio and then around 40 mins of resistance training (bands, weights, body ball, medicine ball). I do not use machines for my cardio...I love the Biggest Loser workout dvds. I have like 4 of them and I mix them up. I also keep my calories around 1100 for the day and if I go over, so be it. I do not deny myself any food that I might want because if I do, I will still want it and may eat more of it! Thank you everyone for your kind words...I still have 25 more pounds to go. It is funny because when I began this my goal was 175...now it is 160 and may become less the more I go! It is hard work, but I would not change my decision for anything. As for the fills, I am trying to avoid them until I need them. I do not think I need any yet, but when the time comes, I will have no problem getting one!

congrats !! whats your secret ? how did you loose 100 lbs in 8 months with no fills ?? please share !

This.

I also keep my calories around 1100 for the day and if I go over, so be it.

And this.

I typically keep my calories to somewhere between 1000 and 1300. In my 13 months, I have found don't sweat it if I go over. And 212 pounds later, I would say it has worked for me.

Thanks everyone...and now I know exercise is key...havent been able to do it for the past two days because of being sick and I am watching the scale go upwards instead of downwards...but I am not going to stress about it because as soon as my body is healthy enough, I will be back at it. I have been walking, just not the intense exercise I am used to!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
