Good luck to everyone with your weight loss
You’ve done so well to maintain for this long. I had my surgery 9 years ago and maintaining is so hard at times but especially hard at moment. I try to make sure I drink plenty of water during the...
Thanks, that's really helpful.
Hi, I'm looking at having a tummy tuck/lower body lift and am unsure whether to have a fleur de lis incision or the usual one lower down. I've been told that the fleur de lis has better results for...
It's been just over 3 years since my surgery and I've gained 7 lbs. I'm upping my exercise and dealing with new bad habits (drinking wine and eating between meals) I'm trying to nip it in the bud...
Interesting but I'm not sure I agree with that. I think you need to have a goal and try and constantly improve your fitness, otherwise I think it can become boring and make you feel as if you're...
Any herbal tea flavour suggestions would be great, thanks.
Yes I too had read about replacing one addiction with another and it's one of the other reasons I'm limiting wine to weekends only. It's a craving and like with all cravings if I don't instantly give...
My free weights are 6 1/2 lbs not 3lbs!! They're 3kgs (I'm in the UK and we use the metric system for weights lol!!) and for now they feel pretty heavy to me.
Sorry, no can do on the gym, been...
I have free weights that weigh 3kg (around 6lbs) that's it. I don't belong to a gym as I just run and that's it. I'm used to doing lunges and squats but don't do them often. I run three times per...
Can I ask what you would recommend as a good weight training session? For a woman? Not that you're a fitness coach but just from your own knowledge.
Trexlee001, the thing is I really enjoy running. I agree I should do more weight training and slightly less cardio. I do interval train and also go to a running club where we 'mix it up' a bit and...
Interesting reading, I agree that you're better working at a high intensity rather than training for longer at a low intensity. Quality over quantity is best. I've been running for 2 years now but I...
Cowgirljane, you had your surgery a month before me, mine was early jan 2012. I reached goal in May 2013 and have been maintaining since then and very well up until around 4 months ago. I always eat...
Yes, I've thought about going back to basics and I know I really don't drink enough. I got down to 141 lbs at my lowest but reached a comfortable weight of 145 which I was more than happy with. It's...
To be perfectly honest, no. I did calories and protein for the first year and then calorie tracked only for the second year. My last year I did neither as I generally eat around the same every day....
It's been 3 years since my sleeve and I am starting to find maintaining my weightloss more and more difficult. I have only gained 7lbs but psychologically this feels like an awful lot! I am very...
I agree, dense protein is the way to go. I'm 2.5 years out and I've gained 8lbs from my very lowest but my doctor did advise that most people have a 'hockey stick' effect when they lose weight in...
I too am just over two years out and have found my appetite has really increased. I'm thinking about food a lot more than I used to and snacking an awful lot more than I want to. I have only gained...
I'm also from the uk. Not been in here for a while but like to check in every now and then.
I waited 3 months before having alcohol. I didn't have any chocolate, crisps, junk food etc for the first 3 months. I tried a mug of hot chocolate after around 6 weeks and the pain was so...
I'm 21 months post op and I can eat most foods with little or no problem. Meat goes done easier with a sauce but I can still eat it without. Chocolate, crisps, cakes, sweets and any bad foods go down...
I've lost a 2 month old horse and almost the weight of my 14 year old daughter. Plus I now weigh less than my husband!! This pleases me the most!!!
My hair started falling out at around 4 months too and I'm just over six months out now and it's still coming out. I'm lucky that I had really thick hair to start with but it still worries me! Every...
It took me so long to get referred for surgery and wait for it to happen that when it finally did I told anyone that would listen. I have absolutely no problem with anyone knowing. I hate to lie...
