Don't BLAME your POUCH

be honest...face reality...and blame your mouth! Really, I see so many post about weight gain....not losing weight....etc. This is a very common scenario. I am very familiar with it...I have lived it...damn, I'm still living it; howver, the difference with me is, I know it is not my pouch fault. I am accountable.

I am now over 6 years out from RNY. My surgeon's goal for me was to reach 150lbs. My personal goal was to reach 140lbs. My smallest weight was 133lbs.

Yes, I have regained MUCH weight...~pic on profile~ but my pouch still works...I just don't work my pouch. So first, in order to be a success, you must first be honest with you...are u eating correctly, drinking water, taking vitamins, exercising? If not, stop complaining and do what you KNOW you need to do...if you are, analyze your workout routine...you may need to switch it up ~cross train~...be mindful of your journey and your body.

TTYL ~smooches~

  You better go TELL IT on the mountain!  lol

Hell - a lil over 4 years from me and I'm still staring 200 down every morning.  I got off my gym routine, got lazy and went from 186 to 200 - trying to get back down, I'm now in the gym at 5am - I had to find a way to get it in, it's the only way I stay 'regulated'.  AND had to find a new protein shake AND had to retool my vitamin routine.

It don't stop, it NEVER quits!!!!

 

Many ppl may not take you serious cause you are naturally crazy ~lol~ you can't help that...you, like I, are a SAG...we crazysexycool!

However, your journey...your struggles...are very inspiring and I appreciate your openness.

Now, off that **** LOL...can't stay all nice!

Wut up, dawgette?!

LOL, hey lady!  Funny you said crazysexycool - that was my yahoo ID years ago!  we been rollin on the same wavelength for a minute!!!

I'm good!  things have panned out for me this year in a majorly positive way.  Babygirl is happy, mama is good - la vida es buena, chica!!!

How U been?  I saw you on FB reflectin and whatnot - very deep.  Go check out my status from last night......

 

I am just LMAO at this thread.... Heyyyyy DEDEE and MACKY MACK.


This is another reminder that xxx gone forever is ONLY gone forever if you stick to the plan..

Rhonda that's the part of the phrase that people leave off "IF YOU STICK TO THE PLAN"  WLS is not the magic bullet some people think it is. 

Everything health, weight & nutrition related is a lifelong lifestyle.

You too Mrs.Rhonda!!

When I make goal...I need to see your name all up on  my post. You signed my surgery page...that shioot makes me cry when I go back and read it. Here I am still struggling because I was one of those "know it all but don't know shioot newbies "  I am only talking about myself and owning whats mine so no one else need take offense.  When I look around...at folks who were there for me at that time....I feel as if I am eating their dust...the shooit dont feel right.  I am going for my 40....no more talking.

RIGHT....and don't leave out...I'm losing too much...how do I stop ~been there done that~ you ain't got to stop if you are just losing ~not working out and not eating right~ cause dt **** gon stop on its own...and you are not doing right...it is hard to start up after 3 -5 years to get a regimen...it's doable...it is just easier to start from DAY ONE....cause if not, you gon find yoself saying, "hey hey it's Fat Albert!" ~roll eyes~

 

Hey Rhonda ~smooches~

I love you Dedee!! Thanks for that...you are speaking nothing but the truth. Hell....I know my pouch still works. It had me huddled in the fetal position a couple of weeks ago when I ate something I know I had no business eating!  The thing I have found... the further out I get ....my pouch has become a real tricky summabiotch..sometimes it will let me indulge on a certain thing and the next time it will kick me all up size my azz on the very same thing. I still can't stuff my pouch or I will feel it.  While its not as small as the day of my surgery... It most definitely is not the same size my stomach was PRE WLS! I just need to EXERCISE...and not just some old tired azz routine.  My body wants me to kick this shioot into HIGH GEAR...wants me to hurt...and I know this. It really is not so much what I eat...cause I don't indulge to the level of insanity. Its the fact that I am a lazy ass when it comes to exercise. If I do 1 hour on the treadmill...I am crying. I am such a wuss. The Wii is helping but  unfortunate for me I need to hurt. I am very solid so...my muscles need to be worked. I know that I will gain weight and lose inches at this point. Thanks for posting....and always good to see you. When I reach goal I want to see your name all up in my post...cause you were here at the beginning of it all for me.LOL! Tried to tell my crazy ass something...but I was hard headed. Wished I had listened to you then. 

Newbies please listen up and don't find yourself in my shoes at 6 years out. Work your tool while you have an edge!!

Dedee loves you back...and Yes, I have lost 7lbs since my last pic!  How, by simply switching my eating to high fiber/protein...and drinking 64oz of water!
