luv2plumb 315 Posted May 24, 2015 HI i had it done 15 months ago 2/12/14 and so far I'm down 125lbs, but i have also stalled out on weight loss , cause i need to lose like another 15 to 20 lbs , i know it sounds crazy after losing so much weight but i set out for a goal and thats goal is to be 150 lbs by my birthday 8/24 and then I'm good , judging from your picks you look like you hit your make , as far as weight loss is concerned, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalelsWifey 318 Posted May 24, 2015 Luv2plumb Holy WOW!! That is fantastic! You've done tremendous. Seems like you've kicked a$$ this far, I hope you make your goal that would be exciting. Thank you! But I am far from my goal. I started at 228lbs 4/22-DOS, I was in high 240's after pregnancy. I'm now at one month post op and stalled at 195. Surgeon would like to see me between 140-150. My personal goal is 125-135. I haven't been that little in all my adult life. Even if it's just to say I weighed that and gain a couple lbs. Hubby agrees no less than 140. But being 5'3 I wanna see how I look once I reach wherever I feel comfortable. Being Puerto Rican, a girl needs her curves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luv2plumb 315 Posted May 25, 2015 Yes you need to keep them curves , but don't worry cause the math don't lie , if an average person burns 2000 calories a day just doing normal stuff , and cause of your surgery you can only take in 1000 calories a day then it will start to drop you'll see the math can't be wrong give it time the body is still in a little shock and is trying to figure out what to do it will all fall in to place , but since it's getting nice out you should walk around out side cause I've found that that helps me plus it keeps me out of the kitchen lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalelsWifey 318 Posted May 25, 2015 Thank you my friend! I'll continue to eat well and walk daily. Definitely need to stay out of the kitchen. Let's check in with each other and give each other help while we reach our goals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KalelsWifey 318 Posted June 4, 2015 I had my lapsleeve last friday' im always hungry I cheated today eat a couple bites of soft scrambles eggs. not much at all im ok but I feelso guilty and im highly emotional today.. I pray I havnt hurt my stomach I know the feeling. But how will you be able to teach yourself restraint if you 'cheated' for a bite if eggs. If your feeling hungry you must boost your Protein in take and Water. Our programs are designed to be step by step of what our body needs, healing process and gradually introduce food. We major surgery. It's typical to be on Protein Shakes and sugar free jellos, puddings water and broth for like 3 weeks. You made it as far to have the surgery, you can go two more weeks to make sure you don't overdue your pouch and allow for 100% success with the wls. Brush it off, nothing you can do, you tried a little move forward. You can do it. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luv2plumb 315 Posted June 4, 2015 eggs aren't cheating it's great protein! Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalelsWifey 318 Posted June 5, 2015 Agreed eggs are great for Protein, but if your only a week out. It's still very early to introduce that. From what I've heard it's typically 2 (on a shorter side) to 3 weeks before you introduce anything like that. Especially eggs they say bc se people cannot even handle them early on and end up throwing them up, which would not feel good after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
