Topic: RE: Living Gluten Free
I'm glad you found what works for you personally. Imflamation even from "good foods" can screw your wls progress and leave you feeling less than your best.
Gluten free can make a huge difference. Sadly much of the medical community is not on board unless you have certain genetic markers, or so I have read. Of course no one is tested for these genetic issues unless there are significant health issues that may point to gluten as a source.
Tracking what you eat and how it effects you is a smart move. We are often our best advocates and responsible dietary changes are generally safe and easy to experiment with. Diet can "cure" issues that imitate diseases but are actually food intolerances as opposed to true allergies. Imflamation can show up from many sources including foods that never bothered you before.

Topic: RE: Just checking in....
So glad all is well. I was lucky with no new op discomforts as well.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BE TAKEN IN BY THIS! Slipping off plan can get easier and easier over time.
Strengthen your self resolve at each stage of your plan. This new wls dicipline is HARD even when you feel great. In a few years when you are maintaining and talking yourself away from crossing the line between an indulgence and excess you will be glad you re-trained your brain right from the start.
Yes I do mean to lecture all you newbies because you out number the rest of us right now. We had a lot of old school vets that kicked @$$ when I was where you are now. No lectures just ripped us newbies a new one laced with good advice for life. There are way too many long gone folks to list but I credit them with buying another pair of Gap/ Old Navy Jeans, size zero, for my third summer.
You old heads who lurk from time to time know who you are. Thanks and much luv and come out and give out some of the old school @$$ whippings that got me posting accountability.
Take it or leave it but I call it giving back. STAY STRONG MsNewMe38! Post before you take that plan detour "taste". Folks do not admit to doing it it for fear of being flamed with bull**** But, for sure you are NOT the only one who has given in to seemingly harmless temptation. Most folks will lose body fat no matter what in the begining. It is later on that this may bite you in the @$$.
Lol, even should you tell me to go fkcu myself with my opinions, I speak with much luv!
You will be a phenominal success. Our BAF family will have it no other way.

Topic: RE: HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY MONDAY
Monday's gone its now Tuesday and my plan for the week is in play. Back to low carb wl mode. I've brougth the calories down for a couple of weeks. Now I need to adjust upward to keep my metabolism from slowing down even further.
I'm going to miss the air popped popcorn but I have to do what needs doing. While I am sick of constantly fighting for the 130's I knowwhat will happen if I ever stop. Failure is not an option.
Todays menu: Beef, fish, eggs, olivie oil, coconut milk non dairy beverage, and a little veg. Net carbs less than 20g and of course vits and water.

Topic: RE: Loser
Automatic fast weight loss after wl surgery is a myth. This may happen for folks with good metabolisms that simply ate too much. If you also ate too much with a less than ideal metabolism to boot, you will not likely see the scale move effortlessly. Add issues of medications, hormones, lymph edema, etc and weight loss can be as slow or slower than for a "normal" person on a regular diet.
You may have no "honeymoon period". You may take months to loose that first fifty pounds. It may make you angry and frustrated. People including medical professional jack@$$es may accuse you of not sticking to plan. You may feel buyers remorse about wls. You may be tempted to stray from plan to crash diets or cheating since you are not losing as expected anyway. These are normal reactions to disappointment.
Few post about this issue while the folks that loose it all in under a year claim their bragging rights. Hold to your plan. Talk to your wls medical team as this is what you are paying them for. If they are no help, do your own research on healthy post op plans. There are too many versions out there to count.
Perhaps your physicians plan is just not best for you. My Dr made a minor modification to my plan while the nutty nut assumed I did not lose because I was cheating. His understanding of hormones and metabolism made some difference. The rest was my own research. Many of the nutritionists we depend upon are not registered dietitians just as medical assistants who weigh you and take your blood pressure are not nurses. They have some training, but often they are not licensed regulated professionals.
Most important in my opinion, screw the nay sayers. It remains a fact that the multi billion dollar diet industry depends on the greater than 95% long term diet failure rate. WLS across various types has an over all long term success rate exceeding 90% based on numerous clinical studies. Most studies use lifetime maintenance of 50-65% of excess weight lost as the criteria for success. As follow ups extend over longer terms, this increases in significance. Media fueled by wl industry advertising would rather push negative anecdotes than the truth.
Those who criticize us buy into this. We are shamed for our obesity and shamed again for addressing our obesity in a manner that is proven effective. The shame is not ours. It belongs on those who critique us because they have bought into the advertising and media spin on wls.
Bottom line: Fast or slow you can and will loose the weight as long as you remain committed. I was painfully slow to loose and still struggle with spurts increased body fat. It took me 135 days to loose the first 50 lbs post op; 508 days to loose 97.5 lbs to my goal weight. This is with regular exercise, both cardio & strength. I struggle with a 10-15 lb weight swing that three Drs insist is uncontrollable. I won't accept this. Three years our I refuse ever to buy a bigger size and I use a tape measure so as not to fool myself.
You will loose it. You may have no control over the time frame. You will keep it off. You do have control over how you adjust to this disappointing reality. STAY STRONG!

TODAY'S WORKOUT WILL BE __________________________.
(FILL IN THE BLANK)
Its no secret folks. If no one told you at the outset you should have figured it out on your own. Regular exercise is required for good health. Fat, thin, loosing, maintaining, never obese, forever obese, it makes no difference.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TODAY TO GET AND STAY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE?
There is no expectation that you are to suddenly become a qualifier for the 2012 Olympic Games. Simply do something to increase your heart rate and expand your lungs and improve the blood flow to your vital organs and aid the circulation of your lymphatic system.
A 20 minute jog in place can help get you there. Is a jog to much? Make it a ten minute walk in place and work your way up. Lower body issues? Seated shadow boxing will raise your heart rate and help to get your circulation moving as well. So will sitting and tracing the alphabet in the air with your feet.
Reality check:
- Few of us can not find ten minutes twice a day to spare.
- Few of us are totally incapable of any type of exercise.
- Few of us who do not exercise regularly are anything other than simply full of **** with our excuses masquerading as reasons.
- Few of us cannot do any more for ourselves physically than we actually do on a daily basis.
- Few of us who complain about struggle with regain; frequent stalls that don't follow periods of losing pounds or inches; unreasonably slow weight loss; etc are really doing what we need to do on the physical activity side of the equation.
Where do you fall in this list? First the answer you like to tell yourself. Now the brutally honest truth of the matter. Are both answers the same?
WHAT'S TODAY'S WORKOUT GOING TO BE? MAKE IT FUN AND MIX IT UP. THAT'S HOW YOU STICK WITH IT. HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE AND SHARE IT!

I'm giving it to you because you know how to building the muscle. I see a lot of lifters in the gym that won't win any prizes for bodfat percentage but you can't argue with the muscles and strength. Claim it and save me a piece of that fried catfish girl. 
Topic: Loser
OK it took me a while to post this because i really didn't want to sound ungrateful but since surgery (may 30th) I have only lost around 16 pounds I say around because 1 day i can get on the scale and it say 195 two days later 198 its been 24 days and I was expecting more i got the surgery because i always stop losing around 200 pounds before surgery I lost 39 pounds in 3in a half months without a pre op liquid diet so I'm feeling some what cheated i know that I can only live with my choice but I can't help but think about the people close to me telling me not to get surgery because I can do it on my own and now they can just say they told me so .............feeling a little sad thanks for reading
