Aube 42 Posted March 21, 2015 Soooo I'm drinking, exercising, eating 800 calories, drinking Protein Shakes and my weight loss has come to a halt. Im down 85 lbs since surgery 9/9/2014. Happy no regrets, loving the compliments. Started out weighting 298 now I'm 215. Just want to get to that 100lb loss. Help, advice PLEASE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted March 21, 2015 Time to reset! Go back to the basics, as if you are just starting with solid foods. Then start taking measurements, the success story lies there! Did you do measurements in the beginning? If not, now is a good time to start. Maybe shift to a different exercise routine. And definitely talk with your dietician for suggestions, they may have some good ones up their sleeves (pun intended!). Just don't give up, look beyond the stall, always forward....

Aube 42 Posted March 28, 2015 I have worn my fat like a suit of armor for years....along with my hair, been hiding behind that too. I am down almost 60 pounds since I was banded and I am starting to get uncomfortable as well. I have security issues that stem from sexual abuse as a child and adolesent teen. I am very large breasted and have been since I was 10 years old. I was a child with a childs mind and spirit in an adult body. I got alot of unwanted attention, and as I grew up I learned to shelter my body with fat. With that said, today I am a very capable woman able to protect myself against unwanted advances, yet my instincts remain at high alert, never quite sure and ready to suit up at a moments notice. I have discussed this at length in therapy over the years. For me I just have to keep reminding myself, that I am in good hands now....I am protecting me the way others did not in the past. I am married to a wonderful understanding man who supports me in any dress size and works very hard at making me feel safe. Its a daily battle, but one worth fighting.
