    Default Bad days and good days

    So lately I have been frustrated but we all get that way. I'm still in a stall but I guess it will be ok just have to remind myself that so far I have done great and will continue to do great. I'm using my treadmill which I really love. Today I'm going to try and go for an hour on it. The things I have learned so far is eat slow I actually use an app that is a timer for eating. I can cross my legs which I couldn't do for years. My face is looking different everyday. My next thing I want to do is go on a roller coaster I have never done or been on one. The greatest thing that has happened is my husband is constantly telling me how sexy I am which he has always done but he looks at me different and I like it. I have really love this site. I read it everyday and it gives me hope and something to look forward to. I'm going to try and keep it positive and know that we are all different and lose weight differently but we are all in it for the same thing to lose weight. So I will be ok and before I know it I will be at my goal. Just need to keep going. So thanks to all my sleeve brothers and sisters for all your stories and highs and lows Kelly.

    Kelly, you have done so amazing. 61 lbs is what I have lost as well and I'm just over 4 months. Be proud of yourself!! Working out on the treadmill for an hour one month after surgery is just amazing! Your body will catch up to itself and the scale will start moving in the right direction again, don't you worry. You have a very strong desire to succeed and so you will.

    Ok my weight I started out when I first join was 307 was 7 months ago. I was put on adipex to jump start my weight loss during my 6 month supervised diet. In the first 3 months I didn't lose anything that is when they put me on adipex. I loss a good amount of weight before surgery. The day of surgery I weighted 271 the first post op I weighted 258. And now 247. Which I have been for 2 weeks now. I know it's not a magic it will all start to disappear but i feel I'm stuck and nothing I do seems to help. Yeah my clothes seems looser and I feel different but that damn number isn't moving and it's driving me crazy lol I don't regret what I did because I know it's for the best in the end.

    Adipex is a diet pill more or less like speed. It worked great for me. Not sure when I can start taking it again. I do miss having the energy lol

    Your post really has me impressed. It shows that you have actually absorbed the posts about realistic expectations, stalls, patience, and perseverance. What a great "can do" attitude you have, Grasshopper. A lot of newbies could learn a lot from your mindset. I am very proud of you for not beating yourself up over this, catastrophizing it, and posting a "woe is me" post. You know this is a temporary phase that will pass and that is just awesone. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work! Again, I am very proud of you! And you should be proud of yourself too.



    You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to be better.
