Hello all 144 lbs to lose



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on July 17th, I have about 144 lbs to lose. This first month has been hard, while I havent had any complications it has kinda done a whammy on my emotions. My biggest problem is that I have a lot of anxiety about getting all my Water and Protein in. My question to you all is, when did it all seem to become routine in your life? I hate it being the first thing I think about in the morning. I feel like it has taken some of the spontanaity out of my life, but maybe that's just because it is still new. I am however, beginning to enjoy the smaller me. I did this because I am 50, and I was getting so big I just wanted to sit at home so I wouldn't have to walk and get out of breath.

I want my total loss to be exactly 144 lbs too!! 56 down, 88 to go. . .

Congrats on getting sleeved, you are on your way! I will promise you that it will get easier and more routine. So be patient with yourself. This process is very much about totally revamping your lifestyle, including your eating and drinking. It is completely appropriate that it is constantly on your mind! This is some serious behavior modification! Anxiety is such a yucky negative feeling. Maybe you could try to evolve "anxious" into something more productive, like "motivation" -- you are "motivated" to get your Water & Protein in :) Yes, you have temporarily lost some of your spontanaity, but that is true of the recovery after any kind of surgery. You will soon be in a groove, so to speak. It took me about 6 weeks I guess. Remember also that a lot of people experience this whammy with the emotions. On top of not beign able to cope with the food favorites, you've also got some serious hormonal turmoil going on in there. So try to remember that this too shall pass, and keep your eye on the prize. :D

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
