Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

My scale has not been budging much at all for the past couple months. I do the same thing and drop 4-5 pounds and then stay there for a while. I am pretty close to hitting under 200 which makes me even more anxious to see it move. Hard to believe we are 6 months out!

I really don't know what to do! I feel like I'm eating too much. I know I'm not necessarily. Just more than the early days I guess. How much do yall eat? I eat about a cup to maybe a cup and a half total during each sitting. I feel like it's too much and keeping me from losing. I get excited seeing the scale move a couple pounds thinking I've broke the dang cycle then it's right back to it.

Woo! Stall has unstalled! When I went in for my checkup my surgeon said the weightloss would be a lot slower now. The first 6 months are rapid and it slows down after that. He said I can kick it up by working out. That's next on my to do list. For now just focusing on diet. I go off it on the weekends but I'm pretty strict during the week. Down 121 and counting! Hope everyone's doing well!!

Thanks!!

Something that helped my stalls is doing a day or 2 of just shakes again. I had a week or so where I felt like I could eat more again and did it then too. Put me right back in line!

I decided to try on my before clothes that I wore before surgery. I haven't touched them since I came home from surgery. Needless to say, it made me realize there is quite a difference.

I'm not where I need to be but grateful I'm not where I came from!

Wow, you guys have done incredible! I had my surgery 4/24 of this year, so it's neat to see you guys just had your one year and you've lost an obscene amount of weight. So, how does the restriction feel a year out? Is it harder to stay on plan?

I've added carbs back but I just keep my portions tiny and make sure I have my Protein. I've also found that if I'm in a stall and go for a little more carbs and some sugar it pulls me out. It's a weird thing. I actually feel much more comfortable a year out about how I have to eat than I did at first. I feel like my head is more in tune with my body now. And my hair is finally starting to grow back! Lol.

Thank you so much! I'm finally feeling really good. Almost a month out and down 32 pounds. I'm afraid next month I might only be down ten, but trying to not think like that and focusing on getting stronger and healthier. I have to say, it is weird that months before my surgery I was seeing 'Any January surgeries out there' or "February sleevers?'. It felt my surgery would never come in April. And now, it's 'June sleevers?' or 'September surgeries?'. I'm sure it's gotta be a little bizarre for you being a year out and how fast time goes.

      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.
