So far down 150lb
Its been very up and down.
Fell pregnant 9 months post surgery but miscarried at 13 weeks and went off the rails with many aspects of life
Took up running and was doing well until i realised i was pregnant again.
Developed hypoglycaemia and they wanted me eating every hour of the day.
I hit my lowest weight after giving birth at 25 weeks but i was so so ill they kept me in hospital 5 weeks before transferring me away from baby for surgery.
From that point i gained weight. They still had me eating things like biscuits hourly
Everytime i tried to restrict my food my milk supply took a big hit
In the last 3 months ive managed to strike a balance between my intake, exercise levels and my milk supply
I hike rather than run currently. I hike with my 18 month old on my back partly to keep him close and partly for the extra calorie burn lol
Mentally its tough. Im not happy with what i see in the mirror and it feels so slow going
I dont really have any goals, i just want to be happy with what i see in the mirror but i dont think it will happen
Ive not done rewards
Be gentle with yourself. You have been through alot. Love that your hiking with the baby.
You are a hiking bad @ss!
Appearance, I get it. I've had to work on this. I hid from cameras and mirrors for years. I had a distorted view of myself before surgery. I have a bit of a distorted view now. I accept parts of me look like a shar pei puppy. They are cute..Right?
Lol love the shar pei puppies, they are definitely cute!
I have alot of loose skin thats only going to get worse. Ill have to find a way to make peace with it as my hospital made us sign a form saying we wont seek skin surgery before they went ahead with our operations1 -
Oh I forgot! As for a reward, I really want to get a Fitbit or similar fitness device. 50 pounds lost is what I'm striving for to be able to get it. I need to work hard for my reward!

I am here, and actively logging; I only check the boards every few days though. I am now 4 weeks post op and have lost 15.4 since surgery, 47.8 total. I think the surgery threw my hormones for a big loop but everything seems to be settling down now. I didn't lose any weight for almost 3 weeks and was really questioning what I had done. My loss is much slower after surgery than before but hopefully it won't be that way forever. My biggest struggle was the no loss right after surgery. My big goals are to do a color run, and to be able to ride horses again. I haven't really set small goals, I just try to take this one day at a time and move! I feel so much better when I get some exercise in.1

I can't speak for the Fitbit because I have never used one, but I have the Garmin Vivosmart HR and I love it. It is waterproof (for real, I swim & shower with mine no problem) and I find it to be really accurate. The Garmin Connect app is nice and syncs with MFP and other things too. The price is also a little less expensive than a Fitbit. Something to consider. 1 -

How is your weight loss or maintenance going?
Are you having any struggles? What are you doing to overcome them?
How are you with the mental side of weight loss?
What are your small or large goals.
Any goal rewards for yourself?
Weight loss has gone well for me. VSG 10/5/16. HW 241 SW 217 GW 145 CW 142. I am 5' 4.5"
I am just over 41 weeks from surgery and hit my goal at 39 weeks. I could not be more thrilled.
I have definitly had my struggles. I still struggle with head hunger and eating if I am not hungry. If i find myself trying to munch too much I make myself go do something to distract me and I grab some fluids. I drink a lot of crystal light. I was a big water drinker before, but it seems to bother me some now, not sure why.
My goal now is to continue the good lifestyle changes I have made and to continue with more. I have been working out 3 days a week but I would like to add to that to hit 10k steps each day on my fitbit. I have a desk job so somedays I really struggle with getting steps in and I only hit my goal the days I work out. That is why I would like to start getting more steps on the days I don't work out.
I am eating about 1200 calories a day as I try and figure out what maintenance looks like for me. I have never hit my goal weight in the past so this part is very new to me. I love getting to review everyone's food diaries for ideas.1 -

I got a fitbit charge hr for christmas (i was given a different brand that malfunctioned on day 2 and was replaced twice before i decided to upgrade to fitbit)
I love it, definitely motivates me to move more, i join in challanges to push more (currently dying on my *kitten* trying to keep up with the big walkers)
For me though it doesnt track other activities so well
If i run round my garden it logs me as being on an elliptical so either fitbits screwy or i have a real odd running gait1 -
Hello everyone :-) I had VSG surgery almost 4 years ago. For the most part, I really had no troubles and everything was great for a while but my weight did creep back up because I went down a slippery slope. I gained back about 30 lbs of the 200+ lbs I lost and have been chipping away at it by getting back to the basics that I know work. I was hard on myself for the regain but I realized that overall, I still kept off a LOT of weight and my health in general is amazing. My doctors and surgeon are both super happy with my success, but I will be happier when I am back down to where I was before the regain.
One thing that has helped me with the mental aspect of weight loss is that I started therapy a year before I even considered surgery. I knew that if I didn't get my head right, I wouldn't get my health right. I am glad I did that because losing a couple hundred lbs can be amazing but also overwhelming, especially for a woman. It was a challenging adjustment to say the least. I still see my therapist to keep myself in check and it really does help. I know that I didn't get to almost 400 lbs because I had everything under control, so I believe in taking care of my mental health is an important part of everything I have been doing to take care of my physical health.
My company has a wellness program that I participate in so I have monthly goals that I set with my coach and that really helps. My goals right now are to do cardio 5 times a week, strength training 3 times a week, and to make sure I weigh myself at least twice a month. I don't usually reward myself for reaching goals, to me reaching them is reward enough, but I did decide that when I lose the 30 lbs I regained, I am going to get a new tattoo :-)
Good to hear from you, You are going to get this last 30 pounds. If you can lose 200 lbs what's 30lbs?
Many people are afraid to get therapy / counselling with weight loss issues. Glad you shared your experience with it.2 -
I am here also, I read a lot of post but don't post a lot. I have have finally decided to do something about my weight before I hit 400 lbs! It's a whole lifestyle change and I am doing well so far. I mean I still have major food cravings and I'm not perfect all the time but who is? I just remind myself that I'm not doing all this work just to throw it away by one bad meal! I have realized that my serving sizes were outta control and I now get full after a normal serving size. (That never happened before!)
I haven't had surgery yet, hopefully by October but might be as late as December. I've lost almost 23lbs so far (since my first weigh in with my surgeon). I hope to loose another 25+ by October. My long term goal is to loose over 150lbs. As a reward I haven't really thought about that other than the reward will be I can be more active (I love nature would love to actually go hiking and not have to take a ton of breaks or not even start because I know I can't do a 4 mile hike right now) and since I am and avid nature/wildlife photographer maybe my reward for loosing 100lbs will be a new landscape lens?! I am always looking for friends who are going through the same thing to help each other out.0 -

I'm hoping surgery will happen by October. My goal is to lose 100 pounds. The doc wants me exercising a hour a day, and that has been a struggle. Using this app keeps my calories at around 1,200 a day. I'm excited for surgery and just want to get this process rolling a little faster.
Looks like we might have surgery at the same time! I too am looking to get the process moving! I might be approved for end of September or October but my insurance might also not approve until November or December, but I'm hoping for October. I've been able to stay within the calorie goal of 1370 (to get the amount of protein, carbs, and fat that my Dr wants) but the exercising thing has been my main challenge! I really should say lack of exercise!!! It's hot where I live and I don't tolerate the heat well, I've tried walking at night (9pm and still 90 degrees) but it is hard to convince myself to get up of the couch to do it!!
Good job on your weight loss so far!!
You can add me as a friend if you would like!

[quote="MrsCarrieRobinson;c-40045730"
My rewards are clothes. Since my body is changing so quickly I tend to get new to me clothes to save $$ but when I hit a milestone I buy something nice. I haven't decided on an end goal reward just yet. [/quote]
I think this will probably be might short term reward as well!! I will need new clothes, I wear baggy clothes to begin with (I don't like tight fitting clothes!!) so a few of my shorts are already sliding down! It's a good thing but big girl clothes are expensive!

hippie_spirit wrote: »HI! I'm Tati. I have attended the required seminar for the vertical sleeve and have my first appointment with the surgeon on Aug. 4. I am anxious to get this process started!!
I need both knees replaced and my orthopedic surgeon said that my recovery would be so much easier if I wasn't this much over weight. My BMI is only 4 points away form his cut off. I have been heavy for the last 27 years, ever since I had my second child. My knees have taken a beating and walking is painful. I really couldn't wait to have my first knee done ... the weight loss requirement from the surgeon was a blow to my ever declining mood. Then I realized that everything happens for a reason! Just on a whim I called our insurance company (our previous insurances never covered weight loss surgery) ... and they said it was covered if I met their criteria. I took a deep breath, smiled to myself and knew that this was the next step in my life!
I joined this group to learn what other people's experiences have been. So I haven't had anything to contribute ... YET!
I would love some friends that have had a vsg, so please add me if you would like!
I love photography, dogs, kayaking and riding my bike. I'm 57, married with 2 grown children and one starting college in Sept.
Thank you for sharing your journey! You help more people than you know!
@hippy_spirit Love your name.
You are so right, This is an amazing step forward and everything happens for a reason. Imagine the way you are going to feel with your knees and a healthy weight. I'm excited to hear your story and progression.0 -
RedfootDaddy wrote: »Hi, I'm De. I lurk in this group a lot. But I can count on one hand the number of times I've posted. I'm pre-op, at the very beginning of the process. Probably still looking at another year and many pounds before surgery. I'm enrolled in a great program at the Toronto Western Hospital, but I like lurking in this group. It gives me hope.
My big goal at the moment is to get down to 210lbs before my surgery, that's about 95lbs away. I also have a goal of walking/running a 5k in September and running a 5k in January, we'll see how that goes!
My big goal rewards are going to be tattoos. If I end up with big flappy batwings of loose skin, I want to get batwings tattooed onto them.
Batwing tattoo..lol
My bat wings won't go away. My weight lifting muscles have helped fill them a bit.
Keep us updated on hard work pre-surgery weight loss. Let us know when you get a surgery date. Cheering you on!

We had surgery around the same time frame. My surgeons office said a 15 pound gain is a normal thing to see after goal..ughh I didn't want to hear that. My weight fluctuates. I try not to let it mess with my head. I give myself a bounce range. When It creeps up I know it's time to put the work in. I still indulge on vacations etc. It causes me to crave the bad stuff. I have to detox back to the basics. lol
I appreciate a loving slap to the head from anyone here on the forum to get me back in line.
Hell of a reward and adventure. An Amazon fishing trip. I could not even imaging that experience. Photos please!

The stalls and plateaus will happen. They are frustrating
Keep working your program and the scale will move again. A month and 15.4 down is great. After a year, You will look back and realize how fast the weight loss is.

Congratulations on hitting goal!
I have never maintained my weight in the past. In the past, I thought if you are a thin person you maintain weight effortlessly and maintain without working at it.
Oh it takes work! lol But I'm happy to work at it. I love this lifestyle.
At three years, I never stop learning about healthy eating and working out. Did I mention I have to lower my enthusiasm about this stuff. I'm driving my husband crazy with new health information that he could care less about.
Hope you find what works for you.

OMG I can so relate to the national geographic boobs. I owe Victoria's Secret a huge debt of gratitude for their push up bras. My next mission is a to find a good strapless bra. I did find one that worked ok but it was like industrial strength, like wearing armor, and I ended up with some very special overhang that I didn't know existed.1 -

I went shopping the other day with my son on my back which always pushes them up but i was getting funny looks. Got home 2 hours later to find i had a boob hanging out lol
Its a pain in the *kitten* when you have to order online, i find it hard to judge yhe fit and sizing when i cant physically see and examine an item. Hope you can get the one you want2 -
