Ms.Cali 56 Posted June 30, 2013 I'm like that too - barely enough energy to do the basics. I found increasing my Water intake helps. I really have to work at it - it's an all day thing. Just make sure your drinking your 8 glasses a day. 2 UndercoverBariatricGal and MichiganChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeBrownBaker 139 Posted July 3, 2013 Hey Fellow December sleevers... I've fallen off the site... back in school... post graduate stuff... (am I psycho or what?? lol) anyway... I have a NSV to share... I remember a day when I could barely walk down a flight of stairs without being totally winded... when I got off work yesterday, the elevator to the parking deck was out... me... parked on level 10... I walked up like a champ... got to work this morning... elevator still out ... walked down 9 flights and back up after work...I am soooo elated to be able to be this physical and energetic! My niece saw me in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that fit (size 22 down from a 32W) and almost walked past me... she said she did not readily recognize me! Loving my sleeve!! 6 UndercoverBariatricGal, DeezJeanz, pattycake71963 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokey12 71 Posted July 3, 2013 I too have fallen off the wagon, sometime ago. I try to analyze what went wrong, and I think during my second very long stall, I became discouraged. This led to old eating habits coming along, more carbs that I should eat; Hence, no weightloss. so the circle of nothingless begins. No wt loss = non compliance=no wt. loss. I have my check up on July 19th, and I have not lost a pound in 3 months. This scares me into compliance. Does anyone else obsess over food like me. I use myfitnesspal to track my eating, even the bad stuff. I need a kick in the a**. Feel free to do it for me. I welcome the critisism (spelling?). Thanks for letting me vent.

Huntingnurse 510 Posted July 3, 2013 My six month mark was 6/30 - down 85! Averageing about 10lbs a month. Hopefully it keeps up. Only 32lbs until i can apply for Air Force and 38 to my personal goal of 180. Id technically fall into the overweight BMI but i dont care. The BMI chart says for the HIGHEST normal BMI id need to weigh 168. That sounds gross skinny for someone my build. 5 pattycake71963, JerseyGirl68, UndercoverBariatricGal and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSG 12/17/12 I am right where you are at sister. We just have to start with the basics Protein, Water, protein, water, protein, water!!! It sounds easy but once you have exposed yourself to carbs and old eating habits it is def not EASY! I keep saying i am going to do the 5 day pouch test (In our case, sleeve test). It will rid us of the "NEED" for carbs and make it easier to say "no".Not to mention, jumpstart our weight loss! 1 UndercoverBariatricGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSG 12/17/12[/quote'] Girl pull up those big girl panties and get it into gear! There is no reason you can not jump back on that wagon and start again. Every day is a new day even better than that every hour is a new hour. If you eat one thing bad, dont let that ruin your day just eat better the rest of the day. 1 UndercoverBariatricGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
