This is a very good reply, my feelings exactly. Not to offend the OP, but you are behind the curve without prior counseling on what you need to be doing. It's never too late to learn, so get to it. I...
I hope you read and study the materials, follow your surgeon's guidelines and you will do great. It is too bad you didn't know all of this prior to your surgery so you could have put some of these...
Very sound advice here, I was taught to stay away from carbs as much as possible. To this day I am advised by my weight loss center's NUT to keep my carbs below 100 grams daily. I say taught, it was...
I was a Weight Watchers and every other diet program member for decades and saw up close and personal the differences and struggles women have when it comes to weight loss. Men struggle too, but we...
I am 64 and had just turned 62 when I was sleeved. I understand as a male and hopefully not menopausal:D, weight loss comes more easily for me. However one year out from my sleeve I had triple bypass...
I am trying to understand your post as best as I can, you are less than 2 months out, right? You have lost 19 lbs, right? I know some lose faster than that but there are so many variables. Such as...
Yes you are very early out, I was the same at first, which made protein drinks for me very difficult. It took about a year before I could handle milk. The catch is this, after a year you will be able...
I think you need to do a little self assessment, are you following a plan of fluids and protein? High quality protein, are you taking your vitamins? If you follow your nutritionists guidelines I...
I am sure you will do great! You have learned a lot on this site and now your new and much better life if right there, how exiting for you. I see great things in your lighter future! Keep us posted,...
Great Job! It's always so motivating to see someone like you who has gotten the sleeve and done so well!
You have come so far, you should be very proud of yourself, we are! You are doing the right things, keep moving and it make all this journey even better.
As I have mentioned, you sir are in the minority. I think most obese people left to their own vices will become obese again. I don't care how you self justify being obese, but being obese will lead...
I remember at your stage I had lots of partial containers in my fridge. I was so determined at that stage it did not tempt me to graze or over eat. Now 2 1/2 years out I do not keep so much. I try to...
I find this very interesting, full disclosure is a very important part of any searching of a surgeon. The biggest shortcoming of having a surgery in Mexico is the lack of dietary counseling and after...
I am trying to remember my bougie size, I know its not very big, 36 I think. I find it kind of strange that in your pre surgical counseling no one mentioned not drinking prior and after eating for 15...
I was very careful my first year, Atkins bars are the devils work. They are really very much like a candy bar. I never even thought of Doritos my first year, I am not perfect, by no means, but having...
Good Job! Great to hear you want to walk, do that and get the fluids on board and you will rock that sleeve!
You look fan freaking tastic!! Why are you so hard on yourself, there are literally millions that would give their right arm for your body. You are a very attractive girl!!
I remember when I was at your stage I always used to say, this feels like the best eating program I have ever been on. I can't eat much at once and I eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I focussed on high...
Great plan, be sure to stretch before and after exercise. I have to stretch my shins after every walk, but especially when just beginning a walking program. Regular physical activity has proven to...
First off, you are doing great! I too adjusted my goal, when I got to a goal I had set 30 years ago I fount it to be too low, I got there but realized it just was too low. We all make adjustments, I...
Very wise advice, keep thinking like this and I see a very bright future for you my friend!!
Welcome sir, I am glad you made this life changing decision. You will see as time goes by how much more healthier you will become. Keep checking in here, you can learn a lot of valuable information.
It's interesting to see so many ways we exercise, makes my program look pretty boring. It is giving me some new ideas :D
