    Hi. I'm not doing that good. Just when I think I resolved an issue to the weight loss barrier I have to rethink it all over again. Sometimes it seems like the weight is trying to come off 1 pound at a time. Every few days. Then it come back. But i am hoping that it's water retention. The...

    Hey. At least it was just chocolate and not sweet tarts or now n later. I don't miss those as much as a good Butterfinger or Reese's or...let me stop. But i am glad to know you are still doing your best. I wish I could consume willpower like I do those protein shakes (like my life depended on...

    Hi y'all. Things are slightly better. I still have issues but am able to do the shakes well. And i kept off two pounds for at least a week. I dont know if i mentioned the arthritis in my spine. Well most exercises are out. Especially since i hurt my back really bad last week. I am researching...

    Yes i sneaky. I am doing terrible. So i came on to reread a few lines of encouragement. I cant seem to stay on track. You know the season for chocolate has arrived. What would happen during the other two holidays? I bought a lot of protein mix so i hope that helps. I am still chuckin along. But...

    Who she think she kidding. Seriously. WLS is a stepping stone that some fall from. She shouldn't be spreading fibs. People like to post their achievements but not the hardships. We know better. And we will do all we can to be just as successful.

    Yikes!

    My doctors each have access to my chart being affiliated with the same clinic. They should squabble it out instead of the tug o war. But ultimately i think i have to be the bottom line. I will just have to experiment with my budget and see where the weight is going. But the dietician may be...

    Yikes!

    Hi. If my scale is telling the truth...i lost 4 pounds since the appointment. Especially with the abrupt change in diet. Im hungry. I am on four meds for depression. One of them was lowered in dosage because it was too much. I hope the others will decrease as well but i know i will never stop...

    Yikes!

    My one year was full of bad news. I not only retained the weight i had at 9 months but gained a pound. I think i should fire my scale. Also i was told that the protein shakes might need to be cut out. Carbs or calories. I dont know which. Maybe both. I was given a new sheet of paper telling me...

    I seem to be on a rollercoaster that just goes up and down in a loop. The day i created this post i felt really balanced. Maybe there was a jinx. I dont know. Im still losing weight regularly but after having gained some back. Its the heart meds i mentioned in the other post. I hope i am not on...

    BIG DAY. . .

    As i speculate on the wls i know that the cutting and rerouting of our stomachs is not what takes the weight off but the liquid diets before and after. The motivator to have a successful surgery seems the driving point behind the actual loss. If one can do a liquid diet at all times maybe one...

    Yikes!

    I appreciate your well wishes. Yes it is hypoglycemia and hypotension. Hypo everything. I am so tired of suffering. It seems like with evrry ten pounds i lose i gotta deal with a new issue i didnt have before. I guess i was kunda expecting the miraculous. I know wls has its merits but i was...

    Yikes!

    Wow, Pixx!! Your doc was one step close to a law suit. I commend you for staying on top of things. Im definitely glad youre still with us! I had eye surgery a couple of weeks before the sleeve. I had a retina detachment when i was a teen (child abuse). Anyway the first surgery back in 96 they...

    BIG DAY. . .

    Are you eating jello? Protein shakes? Basically anything that is liquid at room temperature. So eat stuff that melts. You are missing something in your diet cause you shouldnt feel dizzy always. I recommend a variety of liquids not just soup and water. But maybe jello and popsicles. You can...

    I think i finally got where i need to be. The weight is starting to come off regularly. Like for instance; two days ago i weighed in the morning at 274 then today i weighed in the morning 273. But heres the kicker. I went to the bathroom for a good five minutes. And weighed 270. Ha! I reach my...

    date is set

    Youre a survivor. The liquid stage before and after surgery can be the most challenging for some. But for me i think it was moving into solids. Chew chew chew don't drink for 30 minutes after all that chewin. I still havent got the hang of it. Im 11 months out. If its gas youre experiencing...

    Vacation and diet dont mix well

    I hope that timer idea works well for you. I did a lot of running around and hardly sat still til i was hungry. I am back in my routine now but i miss the things i should not have. My stomach did not complain of what I ate so i ate a little to well. The first day or two back i weighed more but...
