J I know this in my head I really, really do. But it is so damn hard for me to just eat more because I am doing more. Because then I feel like it is a waste of exercise. That's why I had no cake, no potato salad, no cheesy potatoes yesterday. Because even though I know I need to eat when I exercise I don't want my exercise to count for nothing. I am stuck no in this vicious fucking cycle and it sucks.

Have you looked at bodybug or someother way to track your calories burned?

I just know that I'll eat uncontrolled if I don't put more in my mouth controlled...Like I'll wake up in the night and raid the refrigerator...I joke I'll eat my pillow. I just MUST eat.

However, if I eat a little more before and after and later in the day I'm fine.

Google, you google master, about training and carb loading or crashing if you don't eat enough. Maybe having the facts in front of you will make it easier.

And the exercise isn't just for nothing. You are doing more than burning calories. You are building endurnace and strength. You are manufacturing new cell growth, etc.

Also, you felt like shit last night and you know why.

Okay stepping down from the lecture stand.

I just notice that you have less than 50 pounds to go. WOO HOO

Juli I know all that it is just really hard to tell my head that that is the way it works. My head just keeps thinking eat less workout more while my brain is telling me I need to eat more if I am working out. If that makes any sense at all lol. I just have this internal struggle going on right now and it sucks. I don't know why all of a sudden it is kicking in so much, but I am assuming it is because I am getting so close to 199. I just hope my mind chills out once I reach that point.

I do want a bodybugg pretty badly but I can't justify the cost. All my spare money is going into the bike fund right now. If I could just win the damn lotto.

Howdy all. I am sure you are all in bed, except maybe JC, being that it is 9 pm here. But I wanted to say hello and let you know I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I am thinking I will ask for a small fill maybe a 1 cc fill. Then I will be at 6cc's. I don't know what to do. I am restricted at times and get stuck on everything and then at other times I am not restricted at all. It is strange and confusing and all that. J, the shirt is a boob fest.

Oh, and guess what? I bought my first pair EVER of thong panties. I think they look ridiculous but love the way they feel with jeans on. LOL....I know BG wears them, I am getting a lot of loose skin in the stomach area and hate the way it looks. I am having a hell of a time getting any exercise in, I did do the jogging program today and I love the way it makes me feel, AFTER THE FACT.....really hate it while I am doing it though!!!

I hate the drama of eigth grade. HATE IT!!!

Hi all

You can keep the thongs. I have a few but I can't seem to get comfortable with them. It's not the ass part but the lack of coverage over giant belly part.

I've actually taken to wearing little box/boy cut panties which I love.

BG, you've inspired me to try running 20 pounds early. I'm going to buy running shoes next week. I need something to get me moving in the right direction again. I seem to be standing still.

But my restriciton is like D's. Some days I can eat the contents of the refrigerator other days I struggle on oatmeal. Ugh.

Oh, so my blood work says my DHL cholestoral is low as is my B-12. Apparently I'm not eating enough red meat. My Protein is always high, but now I need change things up. Any thoughts?

BG, you just don't know how close you were with the Amish comment!

J, I am sure you know this but I am going to mention it, you can amp up your protien values without the fats by visiting the legume family. The other thing is the Beans make a smoother paste than a meat shake.< /p>

Thought I would share this website with everyone.

J, boy boxer shorts. Do you put stomach inside or leave it out. I know that sounds like an awful question, but that is the problem with the thong. Just because the back has no fabric doesn't mean they cant put some on the FRONT!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
