Challenge: New Year's Day 2013



Recommended Posts

@Fiddleman what are you doing to have so much success?!? You've dropped over 100lbs in 5 months. I'm hoping to have a similar effect now that I've just been sleeved. Wow!!!!

It was a combination of a lot of different things : drinking as much Water as comfortable, eating every 3 hours 2-3 oz Protein, eating when waking up, eating when going to bed, exercising every day ( walking at first until cleared by dr, elliptical on and off for a few months and now running and lifting in last couple weeks), not cheating ( ever), eating as low carb as possible, not stressing ( getting into the zen of sleeve), sleeping 7-8 hours a night ( was not always able to do this), reading VST every day looking for hints and advice, etc. you can do it. I had my fair share of stalls along the way, average time about a week. The first one was long, about 3 weeks. Don't give up everyone! The prize is there for everyone.

NY goal was 315...my Christmas goal was originally 319 but I revised to 323 because I didn't think I would make 319, but now I might because I've finally broke my stall :) So lets still strive for 315 for New Years!

I do not think my goal of 240 will be met by New Years. Am having a lot of stalls and am getting frustrated, but I know I will start losing again. Am going to shoot for 250 as my new goal.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

@scs it's not difficult u can do it... What I do is I eat meat first as it has the most Protein so by time I need to eat anything else on the plate in full....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
