Hi Everyone, Greeting from Denmark!
I`m a East Coast Canadian girl, living in Denmark with my husband. Mother of two grown sons and a Gramma to the most beautiful grandson!!
I`m preparing to have Gastric Sleeve surgery in September and I need to lose 8 % of my body weight before they will proceed. So that means I need to weigh 119.9 kg`s by August 22.
I`ve lost 6 kg`s quite quickly, but I`m at a stand still at the moment. I have no thyroid because of cancer and I`m menopausal, soooooo.. tricky business for sure. I`m allowed 1450 calories a day, but very seldom hit that mark. i`m usually 500-600 calories below. So starting today I`m going to try to eat more to see if maybe I`m not getting enough intake.
Is there by any chance any fellow members here going through the same or has gone though the same? I would love to hear your thoughts and perhaps tips or advice.
Thanks very much! Wishing you all a great day and above, all great health!!
