So Jeannie said she can tell who is cheating due to no waitloss?? I wonder if she thinks Im cheating? Im not but Im not loosing again for some reason. I think it is Fluid. Last weigh in, I lost 8 pounds. According to my scales, I have gained a pound or 2. I just dont get it. Im doing everything.... Well, I need to be doing more exercise. I mean, since my last fill Im not eating nearly as much as I used to and Im actually having trouble with meats. You would think I would be loosing... NOOOO Im gaining. It doesnt make any since! I get soo tempted to start taking diet pills again. The only thing I am struggling with is the carbs. I mean Im not eating bread at all, I cant. But there are carbs in EVERYTHING. The only thing I can handle in the morning is Cereal, I know that is carbs, but I have tried eggs and stuff like that and they just wont go down. I told my friend I wanted a walknig buddy and she told me that she will walk at her pace and not mine. So whats the point? She would be way ahead of me so it would just be like walking by myself. Anyway.. guess I needed to let off a little steam lol

Mom brought home McSkillet burritos for breakfast...oh god lol 500 calories for one of those and of course I eat the whole thing...:cool2: then this afternoon thanks to my lovely time of the month I was craving chocolate like mad so I got a small twisted oreo chocolate frosty...:biggrin: that's 400 calories...bad bad bad froggi. -slaps self-

Syntha 6 (protein drink)- vanilla flavor from GNC is pretty good. It tastes like a vanilla shake. I've heard chocolate and Cappuccino is good as well. My friend orders them online. I havent tried those yet.

Good Luck on your weight loss Froggi!!!

I weigh in tomorrow with Lindsey......fingers crossed that I've lost something! According to my scales I have....but last time my scales had me at a 2.5lb loss and theirs at a 1lb loss. :cool2:

Elizabeth - Are you coming to Zumba Monday?

As far as I know I will be at Zumba tomorrow. I need to get exercising.

Hi Pat!! You found us! I bet you are just so thrilled to be going back to work. .. YEAAA I have a walking buddy! Im so excited. Dad told me that he would walk with me if we just stay in the neiborhood. Yeah, just the circle is .8mile but it is nothing but HILLS. I guess that is why they call it South Hills. I will probably talk to you Thursday. Mom is having her surgery Thursday Morning so I will be there.

Hey, at least your scales say you have lost, mine tells me I have gained. It is different everytime we get on it. Drives me nuts. I quit going by that and just stop by the office maybe once a week and weigh myself.

OK, I'm planning on making it to Zumba Monday. It's at the building next to NOE, right? Used to be or still is a karate type place? I know it's somewhere in this message but what time does it start and how much is it? I'm excited!!

Jenn

p.s. I'm a narcissist too! And OCD because I expect my work to be perfect. Boy to I regret telling my hubby he called me a narcissist! LOL

Jenn - Zumba is beside NOE Office in the Tae Kwon Do place. It starts at 7pm and is $5. See ya there! :blush:

No, I don't think she was referring to you at all. I am a slow loser, too. But the point is, we're losing! I guess that some people aren't losing at all, or are gaining. I am still eating some carbs, too. For me, it's all about the Portion Control. I know that I can not live without carbs. I've tried it with a low-carb diet, but obviously fell off the wagon. I know that I can lose with carb and portion control, so that's what I'm doing and it's working for me. That's why I love my band so much! I would like a walking buddy, too. How fast do you walk? I'm doing about a 12-15 min mile, so not too fast. I know that this whole thing gets frustrating, but keep plugging away and we'll get there! :blush:

For those of you who wanted the myspace address for line dancing it's: MySpace.com - Classic Country - 33 - Female - PARKERSBURG, West Virginia - www.myspace.com/classiccountrydance Teresa, can you share that address with the girls you work with?

OK, all you Zoomba people, it was GREAT to finally meet you in person, but when should I be able to feel my calves again? LOL That really was great fun, and I slept like a LOG!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
