August Sleevers-How are you doing??

[LaLaDee 519]

Wow - your doctors are so ambitious! Mine is very much of the view that it's up to our bodies and we can't predict where we will end up. He says that if I want I might get to a "dream" weight, but I have to balance that against how hard it will be to maintain. So if life is easier at a slightly higher weight and I don't have to obsess over every calorie then I might chose that path.

I think these doctors are just trying to push you. You may not hit their goal, but you'll have to work very hard to try so you'll end up doing better than you would have.

Anyone else feel like the "honeymoon" stage of weight loss is over? I really, really want to lose another 5kg (11pounds wish) but it doesn't seem to be happening.

This is probably the 3017 forum, isn't it? Maybe the August 2018 people will resurrect,it, just think all of you are now veterans and they could benefit from your experiences.😜

I feel like my doctor continually being on the pushy side about how much to lose has to do with him wanting his overall patient weight loss statistics looking impressive. On one visit he told me he wanted me to lose 40 pounds by the next visit in 3 months. I had another surgery during that time which restricted exercise. I did not lose 40 but I did continue to lose even during that surgery recovery time so he was pleased when I explained all that to him. Even though he is pushy, I do believe he will graciously back off when I decide I am happiest with my weight, wherever that ends up being. That said, I just got off the scales and am ready to knuckle down again, maybe go back to Liquid Protein supplements for a few days and get way more serious about MAKING myself get better exercise. I have another surgery coming up in July so I want to make some significant progress before then.

I do really like your doctor’s very realistic approach about being able to reach a balance and maintain the weight we want. It’s way too easy to start piling the pounds back on. Carbs are too tempting.

My wonderful holiday to Sandals In Jamaica. This time last year I never dreamed that I would be able to wear a swimsuit and feel normal. I love my sleeve

You look so lovely! I find those before and after so inspiring but I’m always too scared to post mine in case people don’t see any actual weight loss! Lol!
