Chris,
I am the same weight, I seem to stay within a couple of pounds. A month or so ago I gained a couple over my limit and then cut back and have stayed down the most I have gained over was 2 pounds. I got down to low after my lbl but gained back up, I wonder why some people gain ? In the very beginning when I checked out the surgery my Dr. at Barix explained what he did and there program and the success rate and why ith was so high and I thought yadda yadda whatever surgery is surgery there are all the same now I wonder if they realy did do something different ?
Maybe it is because sugar and fat makes me sick and now I just avoid those foods ? I also don't eat much at a sitting because it makes me sick, I do however graze and have started eating these LARA bars instead of carbs (pretzles) they are all fruit and nuts nothing I am serious the only ingredients are dates, almonds and a fruit they are so good. My typical day is a SF Gingerbread latte, two Lara bars, usually 1/2 bowl of soup for lunch and a little of what my family is eating for dinner and another Latte.
I can not imagine the stress of battling my weight again, I battled it for so many years and it took over so many aspects of my life. I was cleaning the bookcase on Saturday and was amazed about all of the diet books I had and even the revised new improved diet books of the old diet books I had, I still couldn't bring myself to throw them away...maybe on new years we will have a fire in the pit outside and it will be theraputic to throw them in...
Please understand I am not in any way bragging that I have not gained weight back just trying to voice what I am trying to understand in my brain, I am also praying for all of the people who have gained a few pounds or who are still struggling to get to goal, I know you will make it or you are already there and don't realize you are at the weith you were ment to be.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK
Tori
First of all congrats, you're doing great...2nd I think it's just that everybody's body is different so the same surgery has different results. You get sick from fat and sugar. Some of us don't, some of us never did, and some never felt very full in the first place. So I think for those people (whi*****ludes me) this will always be a struggle every day of our lives. Sad but true. ~Renee
Tori, Hugs, I do not see this as bragging but as support and this is what this site is for! I love the fact you can share your typical food day and I can share mine without being judged. I am really good with my water and even pretty good with my exercise. I am starting to wonder if my protein drink has too many calories. I do not count calories and I am very faithful with my protein...I eat very little but somehow have to struggle with the weight loss. I know I am more focused to get back where I was, more so because my body seems to be readjusting itself when I have been at this weight for awhile. My boobs seem to be filling out some and my jeans are a little snugger? I thank you for always supporting me!
Hugs, Chris
I'm happy I seem to be losing again. I guess part of me does want to get down into the 130's. For the most part it's just mind games. I've been in the same range 143-148 sometimes I hit 150 but it's after I've been hydrating myself alot. I say I'm happy with my weight - I really am but I have to admit seeing the numbers drop definately makes happier.
I didn't think I would get down to the 130's again but I only have 3 lbs to go. I'm sure if I keep doing what I'm doing I will see 139 again!
Highest ever 251
Surgery 230
Last week 143
Today 142.3
Have a great week!
