Topic: 8 months out!!

Ya'll i made it to onederland. I weigh 196lbs !!! Im so happy. In 8 months i have lost a total of 95lbs 91 since surgery. I feel so good. I can eat what i want i don't get sick. I don't eat many carbs at all but i don't deprive myself either i may have a bite or two but thats it. That may happen once a week. I mainly eat a lot of fish shrimp and crabs. All my labs were good and i've had no complications due to surgery.

 

Im feeling so blessed ya'll when i look in the mirror it doesn't seem like  i lost that much weight but i have. Im loving the new me. I have so much more energy and i find myself being alot more active. I love when people see me and they have to take a double take. I have 30lbs before im the same size as my hubby. Im really excited about that. I can't wait to see what that looks like. So im loving life right now im so glad i had this surgery its everything i thought it would be. I make sure i take all my vits and get my protein in. I get most of my protein in by food. I have one protein drink a day which i make with CIB skim milk and dry  powder milk i get 30  grams of protien in 10 oz. So i love it and i drink it with ice thats the only way i can drink milk.

 

Ya'll im so happy and excited about this it's amazing to see how im changing so much. It's a beautiful feeling. I wear a size 14 the  last time i checked so im so excited about that. I just have so much to be thankful for.

 Thank ya'll for the support its been great.Congrats to all my Dec peeps i been making my rounds checking up on ya'll and i gotta say we are a great looking bunch if i say so myself. Everybody is doing so good nd losing that weight.So please update.

 

Love ya'll huge congrats to all of you keep up the good work!!

Topic: RE: How often should you weigh?
I too weigh myself daily...I don't want any surprises come my weekly weigh day when I log my weight change with the exception of less pounds.  I hear people on here saying all the time stay away from the scale...but I would probably loose my mind...I did loose my mind when I was out of town for 3 weeks with a long period of no scale...or NOT MY SCALE  I don't believe anyones' but my own.  So you no I'm just a bit neurotic about it.

Topic: RE: Discouraged...

I agree with all the above.  I think we get so frustrated because for most of us the weight comes off quickly in the beginning and then when we start to see the scale say -1 lbs lost or something minimal we get ansy...I know I do...and I get upset when I know I haven't done exactly what I am supposed to.  But this page is so motivational and informational...I am going to start a new fire under myself and get this show back on track!  I want to be 135 by my surgiversary to take full advantage of my year window and loose enough for the bounce back effect.  In Jesus name I pray.  AMEN

My surgeon's office told me that weighing daily isn't "bad" simply because it can help you stay on top of where you are. That's what I do. You have to do what works best for you... good luck.

Topic: RE: Discouraged...
this is definately true as long as you are supposed to be doing you will do fine its just a slow process! dont give up remember they gave us a 'tool' & we have to use it properly to get the right result. good luck im sure it will all work out.

the only way up is to stop looking down!!
