TMP22 8 Posted March 15, 2017 My surgery was done in Nov. 2016. At first I thought "I got this, this is easy to do" but not true. I do not count my food intake. When I remember to take my Vitamins, I take them. I do my morning Vega shake, a regular lunch and dinner the size of my palm. I am losing weight but do not exercise because I never have time. Physically I feel fine the only affect I see is my hair is falling out like crazy. I know I'm not doing what needs to be done. I find that keeping track of everything is alot of work that I do not have time for. I dont know anymore. And I missed my doctor's appointment... #spiralingdownhill #advice #please 1 darima77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted March 15, 2017 To be honest, you have to make the time. You either devote yourself to your journey, or you don't. The sleeve is just a tool, and it will only be as effective to help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight as you make it. You have to change your relationship with food, eat and drink within defined parameters, and get up and move. If you don't, you will have put yourself through all of this for nothing. I'm not trying to be harsh; I'm just being realistic. Please don't squander this opportunity. 2 TMP22 and _Kate_ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clc9 644 Posted March 15, 2017 You have to hold up your end of the bargain. That means tracking your Protein, drinking your Water, taking your Vitamins, and going to your doctor's appointments. That's just being an adult who takes care of their responsibilities resulting from choices they made (i.e. Having surgery). You don't have time to track protein? I don't believe you. It takes a minute. Your hair falling out is partly not in your control, but a small part could be lack of protein and vitamins - you can't know unless you are following the rules. As far as exercise is concerned, it doesn't really play a huge part in weight loss, but it is vital for overall health and wellbeing. Take a walk everyday. If you have a family, have them walk with you. It'll benefit everyone. My advice is suck it up and stop sabotaging your health. 2 blizair09 and TMP22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted March 15, 2017 "I know I'm not doing what needs to be done". Either do it or don't. Your choice. If you can't wrap your head around it now, wait until you get to maintaining your weight. Best of luck. Kate 2 blizair09 and TMP22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMP22 8 Posted March 15, 2017 Thank You both for your straight up advice. I do have a bad h abbit of taking care of my others and not myself. Sometimes the advice I give to my clients, I dont use in myself. I needed to post this to throw cold Water to my face, to wake the F up! Thank you for this... 2 blizair09 and _Kate_ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darima77 56 Posted March 15, 2017 Try using Vitamins for hair such as the hair, skin and nails vitamins. Any kind with high Biotin and also drink your Protein. Hair Finity is also a good on too. Just look it up online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
