Amen is all I have to say! Love this post & it is oh so true. Thank you again for making me open my eyes to a lot of things. I can honestly say you have changed my way of thinking.
Did you ever get your sleeve tested? Just curious to see what the doc had to say? I am in the same boat. February - will be a year & a half. I pretty much have been on a stall the last 6 months. ...
What do you mean do a five day pouch test? I have never heard of that? Please fill me in...I have been on a stall since Nov/Dec. Frustrated to say the least & seriously thinking about doing the...
Stalls are horrible & I can totally relate! I increased my protein & it helped. My first 6 months the weight came off pretty quickly, but I was at a stall myself. I did the same thing....wondered...
I say just go with when you feel comfortable. I believe that I was like 3 weeks out as well!
I find this strange too. I wouldn't just give up on this hospital & keep at this. Is there someone else there that you can talk to? I was in my process and then my insurance switched to a new...
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing & keep up the great work! I have hit a really long plateau too & I am only a little over 7 months post-op. Increased my protein, quit drinking decaf...
Thanks everyone for the responses. I will try to increase a bit to see what happens. Never even thought about my thyroid levels....I'll have to ask that too. I am sure that I will have to do more...
OH...you are doing awesome! Don't give up so quickly. Easy for me to say, since I just posted something about my plateau. I am 6 months out & it seems like my weightloss has come to a hault. It's...
My 6 month is scheduled for Feb 15th. I am also planning to email/talk to the nutrition that day as well. Thanks! It's just so frustrating to say the least.
I do know they ask you over and over again right before surgery when your last cycle was. They also do a pg test as well. But you may suggest they draw your blood before your surgery too. Just a...
Wondering if anyone else has experienced any plateaus along the journey? Since November, I have only lost 2#s. I just don't get it. My calories have averaged about 774 per day & my doc only wants...
I am excited. I just joined a gym for the first time ever. I have been doing workout classes & using our free gym in town. But really excited to say that I now have a membership:) Thanks all for...
Just wanting some feedback. When is it time to get a mommy makeover? When you are at goal? I still have a ways to go, but wondering how much the "extra" skin actually is weighing. Thoughts anyone?
I am finding it a lot cheaper to go out to eat now! I usually share something with my daughter or get a salad. Just as long as I am eating with everyone, I am ok. It really amazes me how much food...
It's good to hear that someone else struggles with the stalls in their weightloss journey. I gained .5#s last week & lost .6 this. I am so close to the 50# mark!!! I have never heard that the real...
Welcome to the site! I love this site when I use it:)
I did that & was just fine. I strained the noodles, veggies & etc - just had the broth. It was tasty. The main reason is not only to prep your stomach for the surgery, but to prep yourself...
Before surgery, coffee did the complete opposite for me. Major constipation.....I don't think all of the diet dew helped either. I read up on it as well & certain people it effects differently. I...
Ok, thanks for the tips all. I will try to slow down some more to see if that helps. It's WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY:cool:
So lately I have been getting hiccups. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? I do not drink a half hour before, during or half hour after eating. And chew my food to shreds before swallowing. ...
Weekends are the toughest I have found! We usually have a big feast with our neighbors Sunday night. It has worked out pretty well & we have avoided it. It will get easier, I know it will. ...
It is very exciting once you set the date. Then it all becomes official!!! Welcome to your new life!!!!
I would try some actual protein shakes. Special K - mix in a blender with ice. Throw some skim milk in....it helps! I also went to Complete Nutrition. They will give you plenty of samples to try...
On Fridy, I received a phone call that I have an abnormal EKG & I have to go today to a cardiologist. My surgery is tomorrow! I am freaking out & it's so hard not to be stressed over teh whole...
