Recommended Posts

My libido has increased without the extra weight. There are other factors that can play in that too though, like stress, etc. Maybe just not in the mood?

It's just not the same lol he said sex was better when I was big so I don't know he just gotta accept the fact it's not the same 🤷🏾‍♀️

Is sex different now since surgery because I don't get as wet as I did before at all like it takes me longer to get into it now ?? TMI

I have had an increased libido and my husband has also. I haven't noticed any issues with anything. You might want to try some lube products and see if that helps.

The more weight I lose the easier it is to be active in all areas of life lol..

Well good morning y'all. I'm getting curious and curious about my weight these days. Seems to happen right before the 15th of the month. lol. So, I weighed in at 208 this morning. I've also noticed the flap of my belly is smoothing out somewhat. Yay! Soon there won't be one. 😊 Best part, I feel great and I'm healthy inside.

Hope you all have a beautiful resting Saturday! We're taking the kids to a Water park called Schlitterbahn here. They've been waiting for this day all summer. Lol

later y'all!

Congrats on the weight loss! You are getting closer to Ondetland😊

have fun today!!

I went to church and then we came home and enjoyed a delicious lentil stew with quinoa and brown rice. Yes, I actually consumed 25g of carbs with my lunch, and nothing bad happened😄

Photos of the stew and whole grains.

That looks soooooooo delicious!!!! And yay!!!!!! 😂 And nothing bad happened, that's funny.

Im sunburned. This darker skinned girl is SUN BURNED!!! Lol. Skin is so sensitive right now. But it was fun. My 27lb, four year old LOVED the rapids tubing rides, had to do it a few times. Talk about fearless!!! Tickets are so expensive to go, but we pushed aside our "not buying anything unnecessary " to have some fun family time. But when it came to buy the tickets, we were blessed to get four of them for $20/each which is $30 cheaper each!!! and one was free from my daughter's academic achievements at school last year. So talk about a nice blessing. Thank you Lord. Lol the one I used to go to is 3.5 hours away but another was built here in my city and now we're only 7 mins away. So that's nice too. I'm glad we went even though I'm burnt up.

Ouch on the sunburn :( I know how that feels, my nose is still peeling from the camping trip and I have a zillion more freckles...

My granddaughter weighs as much as your 4 year old..lol.. and she will be 1 on the 29th of this month. Your daughter sounds like my kind of kid. Adventurous and fearless!

So glad you had such a wonderful family day and got such a great deal on the tickets. The Lord was blessing or sure.

I found this website with some good vegan recipes.

http://www.thebuddhistchef.com/recipe/seitan/

I am going to try and make this. This looks like it would be good in a sandwich or a stir fry.

My hubby is joining me on the whole foods plant based diet!! I got him to watch Forks over Knifes last night and he is on board.

I weighed in at 174 this morning. I think my body likes this food! I have dropped 7 pounds this week :)

I was told no rice bread or Pasta. Every surgeon is so different and part of me wonders if they didn't just say this to keep us off the carbs a while longer. Did it feel good going down?

That is whole grain brown rice and quinoa, both are complex carbs and it was my first time eating them since surgery. I haven't had any problems eating anything really, my stomach is completely healed.

I am still avoiding refined and processed carbs, but after reading the book Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis, I have decided to eat a whole foods plant based diet.

YAY!!!!! HAPPY DANCE for the hubby! LOL I suspect he is like mine...after a few weeks, he'll feel the difference and won't want to go back. It's amazing.

Saving that recipe! I have almost all the ingredients...just missing the wheat gluten. Sounds yummy.

I eat rice, bread (sparingly) and Pasta. But the ones I eat are all complex carbs (like Apple1 mentioned). My doc does encourage complex carbs though. I haven't had any issues with these foods at all either. Also, like Apple1, I'm doing a whole foods plant based diet as well. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
