All of my December sleevers...

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.

It's been a long time, but I had to come back for an update.

Pre surgery: 266.6

Day of: 251

Current: 172

Best part is that pre surgery I had shrunk to 5'5.5", but now I am back to 5'7". Feels great.

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!!

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. VSG 12/17/12

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.

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!

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
