Hello Everyone AGAIN



Recommended Posts

Yes, I was a very faithful LBT person. On here everyday of my life 10 times a day. I was trying to help newbies and now I think I need their help.

I lost the first 80 pounds in 6months no problems. Then I started messing with my fills wanting to loose faster, then too tight, not tight enough and I'm a cash patient and 13 round trip to Dr. C's for fills and unfills so not too cheap. Well, my husband of 26 years made the remark that I ought to just have this taken out as it doesn't work no more than anything else and I had just wasted 20,000 cash. Really hurt my feelings so I've decided to just try to jump back on one more time, go back to the basics and when I get the cast off my foot start exercising daily. I will also be on here daily like I was doind when I was succedding. Hope to get to know everyone as all the people that use to be on here I'm not seeing them.

Thanks for listening,

Hugs to you all,

Sherri

It's never to late to get back to basics. And I'd go back to exercise that's not overdoing it. I think where you went wrong was letting yourself get too tight. I hear that's like taking a huge step backwards. The band is only a waste of money if you stop using it like it's meant to be used.

Today is a new day. :grouphug:

80 pounds! That is great! How much would you have paid BEFORE you lost 80 pounds to get that off? Think of how much more healthy you are now... The rest will come! You keep hanging in there! I have been getting pretty frustrated myself lately.. 1/2 pound to 1 pound a week... TAKING FOREVER.. and since I am a NEWBIE, not many people have even noticed a weight change .. have only lost 37 pounds, but I feel GREAT! Don't give up on yourself! ........ and I won't either! Hope to see LESS OF YOU soon!

Sherri! Hey welcome back - like you said and know you have to get back to the basic's - that is life! lol But you know what to do its not like you are starting over or that you gained 80 lbs and now having to get that off again. You realized within yourself that you needed to do this and that is great!

I'm a newbie at this myself - but as you know this site is very helpful and remember to log your daily food/water/exercise intake. I use www.myfitnesspal.com - i have used several of the other journal online's but have found that one to be the most friendly.

Again welcome back and great to nip-it-in-the-bud now!

Luckyfive - that is a great job too! 1/2 to 1 lb week - I think we forget with the band it will be slow.

Keep it up!

      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

      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.
