julia7665 100 Posted October 21, 2013 Hi, I'm almost 4 months post op (6/26/2013) and the weight loss has slowed way down (kind of frustrated). My highest weight was 212 and surgery weight was 188. I am at 146 today and I have about 21 lbs to be at my goal of 125 lbs. I am short only 5'0". I haven't been exercising as much as I should and I know I need to change that. I just need to get motivated and I am having a hard time doing that. I have gone on a couple of hikes with my husband which I have never been able to do and actually did an 8 mile hike in 2 days a few weeks ago! I was so very proud of myself! It hasn't been easy, it's hard work making good decisions and I do admit I don't always make good decisions, but it's a work in progress. Getting the sleeve done was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I would do it again in a heart beat. I feel so good and I'm getting my self esteem back. Thanks for listening! 2 chefcoll and sexyslim2be reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything you cannot tolerate still!? Edited for horrible grammar lol! I still can't tolerate cooked broccoli ( or uncooked for that matter). It gives me horrible gas and diarrhea(sorry tmi). I got the ok to start on uncooked veggies but haven't tried yet, I'm a little scared. I haven't tried Beans either and we are going to make chili this weekend, so I will be trying those for the first time. There isn't much I can't tolerate, sweets included. I haven't tried bread or rice either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
