Josette - keep going if you feel up to it while taking the antibiotics!!

Libra - you seem to be doing really well!! I can't tell by the xmas challange how much you've lost but you haven't got far to go....you'l get to xmas before any of us at this rate!!

Well guys, I've had a terrible chesty cough for nearly 2 weeks now and lots of yuk coming from my chest, the problem I have is I can't tell when I've eaten too much/enough!! and I also can't tell if this yuk is me sliming before a PB... this cough started just before I had my fill so I can't tell how I'm doing foodwise!! it's really difficult at the moment, but I'm trying to stay positive..lol I also haven't been to the gym as anytime I exert myself I'm being sicky!! and thats where I get weighed, never mind sorry about the moan I'm going to try and see my doctor tomorrow about the cough and also try to pop into the gym just to get weighed..take care everyone!

I'm late but...put down that spaghetti Josette!! Actually, I hope the ear infection is getting better.

Indianlight-sorry to hear about your cough. Keep us posted and take care of yourself.

Tis the time of year for germs! I'm not 100% myself right now. My coworker has been terribly sick and our desks are very close to eachother...I hope I'm not getting what she has.

I just came back from shopping...I fit into a pair of 20's tonight! I can't believe it. I don't remember ever stopping there on my way up the scale so I'm excited that I have made this goal!!

Hi all,

well done Libra it just keeps coming off...

I've still got my cough and haven't been weighed yet! I think theres a conspiracy against me getting weighed... I decided to pop into the gym just to get weighed and my friend pointed out that I wouldnt make the stairs with my chest at the moment - good point. Then when I was at the drs I asked if he could weigh me and he didn't have scales in the room he was using, so suggested I stopped by the nurse to get her to weigh me - good idea but she had at least 10 of the older generation waiting outside her room fro their flu jabs...so I went home!

Then to top it all I decided I was getting so desperate to get weighed that I would buy some scales, something I said I wouldn't do 'cos i'l get obssessed ...and the only scales I could find only went up to 18 stones (approx 252lbs)...so I didn't get any!!

What do you think guys? a conspiracy?? so i've now decided I'l just wait until I get to the gym...problem is that weeks ago I was only 2lbs away from twoterville!! and I'm sure that I'm there now but can't Celebrate without that confirmation....lol

Indianlight,

Good idea not to buy the scale!! I'm completely obsessed with mine. And no matter how many times I say I will only weigh myself twice a week...I'm on that sucker every morning!! So strange since prior to surgery, I wouldn't get on a scale if my life depended on it!!

I am in.

BPM 288 230

Bring it. :heh:

Checking in at 268 this morning. My rate of weight loss slowed a bit for a while and I hit a nasty plateau for about 2 weeks but I seemed to have broken through it and am losing again.

If I am going to make 230...I need to step it up.

so I'm back up 4 pounds. I was down to 364 and today I was 368. My PMS is kind of out of whack too though so I don't know what the deal is. I need to workout.

How is everyone? Any halloween parties this weekend?

I am doing my best to avoid ALL candy for Halloween. I'm an all or none type of person so if I have one piece, it will definitely lead to a binge. There are some foods that I have to completely avoid. I hope everyone else is doing well.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
