Learned to love your body?

May 6, 2006

Please share your WLS goals.

Have you made goal weight? My goal is to be 160 lbs.

Learned new eating habits? I have learned new eating habbits, however, there is

a couple of things I need to change. Like that emotional eating caught me maybe

twice since the surgery. I also need to start eating on a schedual too. I have a

hard time eating in the morning. Not really hungry much then.

Began a regular exercise routine? I FINALLY! am getting into a regular exercise

routine. 4 mi. walks 3-5 times a week. So far 3 times a week. I am aiming for 5.

Learned to love your body? I am definately learning to love my body. It's taking

time, but I am.

Hi, My name is . I had surgery a month ago on the 10th. I've only lost

about 40lbs. I have a lot of questions. My goal is to get down to 130. I have

a long way to go and I feel like will never get there. I get hungry a lot and

have bad habbit of eating things that are more dense like refried beans or

something. If someone could help me that would be great. Would just like to

have someone to talk to.

Thanks,

P.S. I'm only up to walking around the block once a day!!!!! It would be great

to be able to walk a mile! ha ha

Oh my gosh !!!! 40 lbs is awesome!!!!!! You will get to

130!!

You just need to follow your dr's rules. At 4 weeks out you should

be fine eating refried beans as long as you do the low fat kind. What

type of diet does your Dr have you on? The denser foods will help

you not feel so hungry. You are probably also dealing with some head

hunger. At 4 weeks I was still tired, it was hard for me to get up

and going and walking. I was also really tired of protein shakes (I

did 4 weeks of them post op). I also had a hard time with head hunger

and I was very impatient with my weight loss, I wanted it off and I

wanted it off NOW!!! LOL It will come!! You just have to be patient.

Six months from now you are going to look back in amazement!! TRUST

ME!!! I started out at 266 and I'm bouncing in between 145 and 149

right now. I want to lose another 10 lbs but haven't been very

motivated to do it. My husband has been traveling a lot for work so

my kids and I and doing a lot of hot dogs, chicken nuggets and

soup!! Yes I know bad bad bad. I also still do a lot of cottage

cheese and eggs. But I do go to the gym 3 days a week and I watch

how much I eat. I'm 21 months out and really have to watch what I

eat.

If you have anymore questions please post them. J

Hugs!!

Hey ,

Thanks for the encouragement. We went to the beach today and my husband

grilled hotdogs for them while I ate a fat free tapioca pudding. ha ha It was

hard to smell them cooking, and it helps that I'm too afraid to eat anything

that heavy right now. We walked on the beach about a half a mile, walking on

the beach is always easier. I will buy some fat free refried beans, although

nothing really seems to bother me. I have tested the limits by licking a spoon

of peanutbutter etc... I am sooo bad! Commercials are the worst! But I

believe I can make it. I am still young (trying to convince myself) and I have

so many things to look forward to. Course the humidity is coming back and that

makes going outside miserable. Okay I'm through wining and rambling now.

Thanks for listening!

I always had problems with deciding to eat or drink when I first had

the surgery. This was an issue because if I drank then I would not

be hungry and my doctor was telling me that I was not eatin enough.

So maybe drinking will help with the issue of eating. If you drink

more you eat less. Hope I have helped. Take care.

Refriend beans was awesome for me when I started eating soft foods. It did not

bother my tummy at all.

... GO GIRL! Commercials SUCK so bad that I change the

channel. They are horrid. I once heard that if you think of

something for like 10 seconds straight, it gets into your mind and

you start thinking about that particular thing.

I hope that I can start losing weight soon!!!
