Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[greenfamily004 172]

I just checked in after being away for a little bit.

Easter was ok - I find that I am able to eat more at this recent stage which is a little scary.

I am 50 and have been pre-menopausal and it has really kicked in (last cycle was in January) so I am having increased hot flashes and all the PMS symptoms and not feeling a happy camper. I gained four lbs so currently at 161 from 157 over two weeks ago - have stalled' date=' feeling frustrated, feeling bloated, and I was really hoping to be at 150 by my 6 month appt on April 11th, as my doctor had expected.

I feel heavier - pants feel tighter just from regaining four pounds and who knows how many inches. And was really disappointed that instead of losing down to 150 in the past two weeks, have not moved after regaining.

You have got this. Just get back to basics.

I'm still were I'm always at 209/206 going on 12 weeks. Going on 14 weeks with no inches lost. My RNY "Gastric bypass" looks like it will be last week of May first two weeks of June. Still eating right 800-1000 cals still working out so still doing the right things but the weight won't move.

I want to scream for you!!! Hope good things and great losses are right around the corner for you!

gotcha art. :wub:

Yeah I'm still only down the same 35lbs no matter what goes in and what is worked off. The doctors pretty sure that my resting metabolic rate is more like 700/800 and that is for over 20 years of only eating at night and skipping meals all day long. I would only eat dinner and some kind of junk snack later in the evening "chips pop" . Starbucks Triple Venti white chocolate mocha Was my Breakfast and lunch every day for the past 10 years and I was happy with that lmao. I have never liked food and I still don't care much for it. I eat more now after the sleeve then I have in the past 20 years. I could go days with never feeling hungry I'm now hungry all the time every day I hate that the most. But I can ignore it just like I used to But unfortunately I have to eat breakfast lunch and dinner so I do.

Good morning beautiful friends!!! How is everyone doing???

Everyone sound in and give us an update please.

Today I lost pound. ????????????????????

I'm now at 145 ..... Day of surgery I was 215

Every time I look in the mirror I am just shocked at the person looking back at me. Today as I glared at the reflection if myself my thoughts were wow..... This used to be a morbid obese person. I never thought it possible to feel the way I do today.
