Topic: RE: 2 Monthers how yall doing?
Things are going well here. The weight is coming off slowly but surely and I'm content with that. I've dropped a few sizes and that feels good. I'm doing well food-wise and tolerate almost everything. I'm very happy that I had the surgery.

Topic: RE: need help with motivation.
What you are going through is normal. We as in all of us just have to push ourselves to get off our tooshies and do something. If we start excersising we are bound to start having more energy. Surely tireness is expected, this surgery is hard on the body, let alone our bodies being practically in starvation mode, its bound to be sluggish. Get up and move... if you don't move today, have a good reason, excuses do not count!
Topic: RE: need help with motivation.
im going through something simular, im tired.. all the time.. talked to doc about it an he said its perfectly normal.. losing weight screws with hormones bigtime.. so u get the lazy's best i can describe it.. just have to push past it an do what ur capable of.. not what u want to.. u know? need to do whats needed...from what i have been told it takes ur body sometime to get into a new routine.. so just give it some time an it will all work out... dont get discouraged an dont let today effect ur tomorrow.. meaning if u didnt work out or even get out of bed today.. dont let that be ur reason for not doing it tomorrow.. fresh day fresh start.. everyday is a gift an more mobility shouldnt go to waste... i look at it this way... we missed the healthy bus the first time.. so im gona try my best to be there early.. from now on... i have a new chance at life not gona lay around an waste it... like i did the first time.. tired or not i do what i can... maybe not as much as i should but a lil is better then nothing! Right??

I can tolerate most foods. Dry chicken gives me problems, but that's about it. As far as working out, I'm lame! I was walking 3 1/2 miles a day until my husband came down with the flu and didn't walk with me. I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things.
I get weighed on Friday, but according to my scale I have lost around 39 lbs since surgery. I just wish I could lose faster. I need to stop comparing to everyone else. Every body is different, weights as well as BMI's are different. I need to just concentrate on how well I am progressing and if my DR is happy.
Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you!! im tryin not to get caught up in the numbers but its hard.. when for the first time in my life its finally going down.. but if u weigh ur self a few times a week it will screw with ur mood an self esteem.. i gained 5lbs an then 2 days later lost 8lbs... im tryin to only weigh myself once a week... but its like a new addiction.. i want to see the numbers moving.. down perferably..

I have lost 40lbs, and my date of surgery was Feb. 24. I didn't start going to the gym till today bc I was having a real bad pain. But I shocked myself. People are noticing the weight loss too. I have went from a 24 to and 18.....I am so excited. My hubby is also in Iraq but he is there til Sept. I am not sending him pics or anything because I want to suprise him!!!
Topic: need help with motivation.
I dont know what is wrong with me. I have lost all motivation. I have been having a rough time, pain with my ulcer, the most horrible period since my teen years....and basically another stall, I am getting in all my fluids, plus some, all my protein, but I cant get motivated to go to the gym, I always find some reason to allow myself to not go. Grrr!!
Help!! I need that want to back?!?!
I just find that im tired all the time!!
