sleevedshereen 524 Posted January 10, 2018 @coyote @JupiterSky thanks for the replies back guys! I'm going through so much and have given up. I eat a Protein bar in the morning, and drink a Protein Shake but everything else throughout the day I eat and drink whatever I want. My weightloss could have been so much more by now but oh well! I can only try to be better today and moving forward. We cannot let OTHER PEOPLE in our lives dictate how we feel anymore. Whether personal relationships with partners, family or even at work...we have come way too freaking far to let them make us feel like **** about ourselves to the point where we revert back to our old habits of eating like crap to make us feel better. We can't do that anymore. It's so hard and easier said than done but I know we can do it. Good luck! xo 4 coyote, K_aane, DinaJuneSleever and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K_aane 356 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I,was sleeved on 7-21-2017 and I have no regrets wha t so ever! My weightg loss is slow but none the less I am very happy. I have lost 42 LB and many inches. I have went from a size 24 to an 18. But the biggest thing that I am most grateful for is that I was able to have the hernia surgery that I have waited 6 years for. Due to four abdominal surgeries I had 3 large hernias that really hindered my ability in everything I did. But no more!!! I had my hernia surgery on 12-19-2017 and it has made a huge difference in how I walk, my ability to dance again and just the overall happiness of looking down and seeing my stomach flat again!!! Before surgery for the last 4 yrs, I did not eat, Pasta, bread, soda or fast food, so I do not miss that. I drink Water and coffee only. I try to get at least 60gr of Protein, I eat a Protein Bar and shake everyday. But I just don't eat very much and I am very happy with that. Food was never my friend, I had guilt every time I ate and now that is gone. I pretty much eat when I am hungry and I eat what I want. Sometimes it just a few bites and I am done. I do not eat sweets at all, when I feel I want something sweet I have a sugar free cookie and that's it. My guilty pleasure is a few spicy nacho Doritos, lol. Even then it's only 5 or 6, not the whole bag. I look forward to dancing!! I walk a lot , have lots if energy and keep thinking it can only get better. If you look for me on Instagram you can see my journey. And I did tell my sister's who were very supportive! I told them in October bc I knew my hernia surgery was coming up. They have been my biggest cheerleaders besides my hubby. I am very happy and thankful everyday. HW 274 SW 263 GW 125 GASTRIC SLEEVE 7/21/17.
