Hey all!! I haven't posted in a long time! I see a lot of new faces and a lot of people starting this life changing journey. CONGRATS EVERYONE!
I was sleeved about 3.5 years ago. I was 255lbs on the day of surgery. I lost weight really fast. I can't remember exact times but I think after 18mo I got down to 123lbs, at 5'7" I was super skinny, pics in my profile.
I needed to gain. Before gaining I was happy at 150, so I set my goal at 145. I needed to gain 20lbs (never had that issue!) it took a while but by close to 3 years out I got to 150, then I weighed myself this past March and I was 155, then 158.....WOAH....I was steadily gaining. my clothes were tight. I felt fat. Scary. It was time to start counting calories (it also didn't help that I didn't do much over the winter) So anyway I got back on track and this morning I was down to 143.8
YAY!
I will say this, it was very easy for me to loose this time. 14lbs in 8 weeks. I have been doing yard work and watching my calorie intake. I had gotten used to eating more calories to gain when I was 123lbs. Now I just watch what I eat, and exercise by doing yard work.
I was afraid that history was going to repeat itself, where I would start gaining and no matter how much I did in the past I never lost it, until WLS
I still have major restriction.
As for calories....
I was very disappointed today, I asked my husband to get me a frozen coffee last week, it took a few days for me to drink it, I just kept freezing it.
today I went to get another one
A large was 900-1190 calories
for a coffee
A frozen coffee
guess what I didn't get and won't get again?
so disapointing. I figured it was maybe 400cal, and it takes me days to drink so it worked out in my head. but not at 1190 calories
damn you DD
damn you
