November sleevers here



Recommended Posts

I’ve been stuck at 147 lbs for three weeks and it’s starting to mess with my head. Today’s my birthday so I took some new pictures and looking at the comparison is really helping me deal with the emotional aspect of stalling and realizing how far I’ve come. I also bought myself a full length mirror for the first time in my life and I’m excited to hang it up! @redhead_che - you look incredible and you’re an inspiration! I can’t wait until my scale reads that number, although my stomach will never look that good in a bikini 🤣image-0.00298023223876953.thumb.jpg.79c2ed55c2901fcc099ccad6dedfbd35.jpg

Wow that's incredible you look terrific. I've lost 120 total but I'm very concerned. I've had to have surgery on my foot and I can't walk for 5 weeks. I know I've gained some weight back and I'm worried about getting back into my old habits.

Thanks! Honestly most of my workouts are HIIT style (30 min avg) including free weights and keeping my heart rate up. My exercise ideas come from my coworker (bless her) or Pinterest—I literally have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to examples of workouts. It’s got so many resources and options to save and go back to!

All of my WLS stuff is on private boards, so they would not show up to anyone that follows me :( Sorry! Most people that follow me on pinterest are not aware of the surgery. While I'm not hiding it from anyone, I'm not broadcasting it either :P

The most unusual stuff that I do regularly. Is Protein mugcakes (syntrax protein, coconut flour, baking powder skim milk microwaved)

Or Premier Protein milk shakes (which is basically freezing a premier protein throwing it in a blender with some skim milk Splenda and either sugar free vanilla pudding mix or PB2 powder)

Both easy filling very tasty and practically all protein.

Here's a non-scale victory: being able to fit into AND BUTTON this cardigan for the first time since 2014.

2014 on the left, today is on the right.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
