elisa_rose 122 Posted February 27, 2017 Yes siree bub. I just turned 60, and as kids were told, guilted really,, that we had to finish everything on our plate because "children were starving in Korea.", so I did. Not only that, but I finished everyone else's plate as well. Saving children in both north and south Korea was my goal.Same problem!!!Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 1 gjb2017 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjb2017 71 Posted February 27, 2017 I had a stall. About a 2 weeks ago.. stayed the same for about 10 days.. that's ok.. I stepped up my exercise.. I have a Fitbit, that was a great investment:) keeps me moving. If you don't have one I would definitely suggest picking one up! Now my scale is on the move again. I hit my first goal.. u see 200 pounds;) first time in 7 years:) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppI have a fitit too. Just keep me reminded of my journey.

HB76356 122 Posted February 27, 2017 The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see. No, the pre-op diet was rough for me too, but it's much better after surgery (for me at least). 2 AB2B and elisa_rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have lost an additional 43 lbs which is 50% of the xcess weight. Started working out, jogging, and yoga. I feel amazing. I agree best decision EVER!

goldenbarbie 329 Posted February 28, 2017 Congrats I'm so happy for you!!! I was sleeved on December 14th, lost close to 50 pounds so far. A little concerned because I had a stall for almost 3 weeks and I didn't know what to do.. then I checked the scale like two days ago and it started moving.Any stall problems?? Also anyone that has second thoughts about the sleeve like I did.. get it! Best thing I've done for myself health and confidence wise. 1 elisa_rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liane6267 5 Posted February 28, 2017 To fast, more lose skin. Are you working out?Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppI was extremely weak from chemo and I have myasthenia gravis (causes weakness). I have to argue with myself to exercise. I am walking and moving a lot more. But do need to get into a better fitness routine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
