I agree enjoy it is coming off quick. If you feel good then your body is getting rid of your extra! That's what we all want! And yes the plateaus, I have had one go back and forth a few pounds for over a month.... so not fun! Come off of one and all the sudden down 5 lbs. That happened to me...
I don't mean to laugh but that was comical. Of course it wasn't when you were going thru it because i have experience bad experiences to from the new way we have to eat! No fun going thru it! So yes everything in moderation once you can eat "real foods"! we learn! Everyone stay healthy...
Wow pretty strict pre op diet. I would do what he wants. He has a reason for the strict liq diet. Probably the way he does his procedure and his regard for you.. less in your system = better recovery time. You will get there! I am about 10 months out and just about 100lbs. less. Life is a...
Thanks to all that posted. Very well spoken material! I had a set point that i was thinking my weightloss was done or not much more. I am 10 months out and wouldn't take it back for the world! about to hit 100 pounds gone! yay from the cheering section! lol. I was crazy one the other morning...
To all of you with up coming surgeries,
I know it is hard not to have no worries. I was in the same boat just before Nov. 14 last year but it is so worth it. I am about to embark on a 100 pound weight loss which takes me to a weight that i was in my early 20's. I am so happy these days...
I have been having fun with this thread Pat! Your too funny! Sounds like you need to get a taller seat couchin to compensate for your smaller butt lol!
my undies were sagging. Thought that was the new style oh that is for pants! Anyways don't feel good. I bought 3 sizes smaller! Too funny! Take care all, Michele
If you get solid food why don't you have just tastes or what ever you can tolarate of the food your husband is eating? I had my surgery just before Thanksgiving last year and i just nibbled on Thanksgiving dinner and that worked for me. Just an idea that way you don't feel left out. Happy...
all the stories are too funny! Mine haven't dropped but have been called baggie pants. Hoping i can get to spring cause i know i have things that will fit me better soon. Hate to spend the money on jeans cause once the weather is warmer you won't see me in them till fall. Happy loosing...
hello Dana,
I would just chalk it up that you didn't gain and remember what you ate when you were loosing. That should get you thinking about weight loss and get you back to loosing. You just need to pep talk yourself! Congrats on your weight loss! Michele
thanks so much Donna. I too have to get busy and rid my closet of the plus sizes i have warn for years. I want to save one "big" outfit to be able to take a picture in when i reach my goal. That day will be like no other! I am also going to reward myself with a vacation to California where...
2 months and a few weeks i can wear xl regular womans clothes instead of plus sizes! To anyone thinking about getting wls done, do it you will never look back. I always look forward and see the goal soon a reality. :D
too funny! I was approved for surgery on my birthday also which was Oct. 5 of last year! This will be the best year ever! Happy loosing to all! Michele
sure i will have to meet ya face to face! What day is your appt. mine is the 13th. I live in Lima so it is a pretty long jump to get there. I should go to a meeting and make a day of it shopping etc. Your great weight loss has inspired me to hopefully jumpstart mine! michele
thanks for your secrets!
Really no secrets! We all know what to do. I will have to catch up with you at a meeting or run into you at the doctor office. If you remember we have the same doctor! I do all the same things you do but i wonder if your loosing faster because of your bowel surgery...
wow you doing great!
darkpoeticangel,
What is your secret? You had your surgery less than a month before i did and i am down 47 pounds and you are down 83 wowy! Congradulations! My weight had been creeping down and making me think and check myself if i am doing everything right. I am still...
zzvazquuez,
I have replied to darkpoeticangel and she had the same surgeon as i did which is Dr. Siddiqui out of MVH in Dayton Ohio. Don't want to step in but sometimes we don't get on here often and thought you would like a reply asap. I wonder what doctor you chose? I don't know the...
hello,
You had a great weightloss before surgery! All the pounds count. 17 in one month is great. You started out a lot lower than some of us which is great means you have less to loose, lucky you and you will probably loose slower. Don't be surprise it may all come at once like 5 pounds at a...
