The good thing about being a slow loser



Recommended Posts

Hey Diva,

I am defo gonna get some more veggies in! The large glass of Water holds just under a pint... I try to drink 4 cos that is virtually equal to the 64oz we are supposed to have. On the days I go to the gym, it is usually more. My tea is 'normal' but the coffee is decaf!

I really do understand why you are feeling frustrated... I feel that I am constantly in the same boat! A pound here and a pound there, nothing significant over the past several weeks... we just gotta stick together and ride the lows and highs out.

We are sooooooooo going to do this, and yes, I want to get rid of the majority of my weight within the first year, but hey, I've got over 100lb to loose.... so what if it takes me longer!!!!

Have you taken your own advice? Get the largest size trousers and tops out and try them on... the feel good factor will definately over shadow the slow weight loss... and remember 40olb in 4mths is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

As the British say, 'chin up ole bean!' ..lol...

hugs Coops xx

Awwww and TOUCHÉ!!!!!!!!!

OMG you made me smile so big, I'm almost tearing up here.. seriously! :D I know, I'll find a way - I usually do... just trying to make it through this dragged out crazy slow near asinine plateau I'm going through right now!

And yes, I'm going to try on my gigantic pants tonight. LOL

Thank you doll, you really REALLY made my day!!

PS, you sound like you're doing excellent with the Water then - IDK, maybe we just really are slow losers? *sigh*

Hey you.... my beautiful VSG friend... you gotta remember, we said we were going to be kind to ourselves... You help so many peeps on here... you listen, you give excellent advice and you have cheered me up sooooo many times over the last 6mths!!!

You get those 'gigantic pants' on.. take two steps and watch 'em fall to the floor.... then have a lil chuckle. Something else I have been doing a lot lately, and in moments of frustration... looking at my before pic... honestly, even after 48lb loss... I look like a completely different person... that also makes me smile... so go on then, MAKE YOURSELF SMILE!! XXXXX

Sheesh you got me crying and I have a meeting in 5 minutes... haaa!! I just wanted to say, I'm gonna take some pics of me in those pants too and post em. Just wanna see how that looks. And yes, they literally do fall to the floor when I put them on. I have to hold em up, and could probly fit two of me in them.

Awwwwwww now you 2 made me smile and want to cry at the same time! The other thing you forgot to mention, that even though we are slow losers, I am a slow loser even though I have less to lose, is how much healthier we are now! For every pound we lose we are at less risk for all those horrible diseases that come with obesity :rolleyes:

...I know my family and close friends have kind of had enough of my weight loss antics :P

Same here. My husband just said - and he did it in a very very sweet and endearing way - that life in the last few months has been all around me and my surgery and that he would like it a little bit about him again.

It made me feel all "Awww, poor baby" inside and he is right. This is a big deal for us, a HUGE deal, but I have to remind myself that other people have their needs too so I am making it a point to not just run all over my husband with reports on what I ate, how many calories it had, how much Protein, how I feel and what the scale said...at least not without asking him how his day was, how he feels and what is weighing on his shoulders.

And the other crap I'll just unload here and in my blog :-)

Yay!!!

My logging is working!! That and my new balanced diet I guess... LOL :) I'm down 2 Lbs. and today is an official weigh day!

Since surgery I've lost 40.2 Lbs. I hope the logging and eating plan continues. I will just keep on keeping on! :D Not only that I am officially now into 14/16 instead of a 22/24 when I started my pre-op diet. LG!!

OK, I have a lame ass sounding "cure" for Water weight... It really works for me... eat cucumbers three days in a row. I mean as a salad or to dip in hummus or something. Even grind them up with tomatoes for Gazpacho. Don't add salt. Maybe have them as between meal Snacks. See if you drop a lb or two. Just an idea that works for me when I'm really stuck for a while.

WTG Diva, What did you change when you saw yourself logging food? I think I should log my food. I had a horrid eating day yesterday (candy bar yikes!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
