Just started Keto would like some friends doing the same thing

GrokRockStar......thanks. I have noticed looking at post that you are very helpful and full of information. I appreciate that. Just submit for the private group 10 min ago.

sounds like you are not feeding your body enough. Try upping your calories if possible to 1400.

You have lost 82lbs so there has to be some self-control going on there. It is okay to have this moment. We all miss the things that we use to eat and now know that we can't have. It is called food mourning. And I can't even promise you that you will not still want those things that you use to have. But you are choosing…

I haven't lost a whole person yet. But, I get where you are coming from. Been the "fat" chick most of my life. Always was told that I had such a pretty face, but..... I think on some level we all deal with the fear inside of us about the unknown. We don't know what the other side is and that can be intimidating. I just…

This surgery is not the easy way. It can be reversed if you don't follow the guidelines for the rest of your life. Those that are saying that really have no idea. Remember this is your journey. They don't know everything you have tried and done to lose the weight or what medical issues have made it much harder for you than…

I was sleeved July 15th. What you describe is the way I felt. It was actually about six weeks before I ever felt like eating. Took almost eight to get up to the 32 oz of water. It will just take time to get up to what you are suppose to be doing. Be patient with yourself. Things will get better.

We all have hit that wall shortly after surgery. For me it was two weeks out and it was three weeks before weight started dropping. There is nothing to say that will help. Trust me I know how that feels you went through all of that and now you aren't losing. But, I promise just stick to the program and the weight will…

Hi Nakerr5.....do not lose heart. Most of us have experience this two to three weeks out from surgery. My friend Norma went almost 5 weeks before she started dropping again. Just keep with the plan. You will be in my prayers because I know how dishearting it can be. I am sending you a friend request please add me.

Congrats....I am almost six months out from my surgery. I would say the more you move the faster and easier the pain gets. I walked around my house a lot my first week. Definately check with your doctor on the pain in the right side. Everyone is different and it is better to be safe than sorry. I will send you a friend…

You look amazing. Great job on all the hard work.

Love it!!!! Most excellent answser.

Depends on what parts of your body need th surgery. There is the tummy tuck but if you need upper thigh, back, and arms along with the tummy that is called a full body lift. Prices all depend on what part of the country you are in. A good surgery will ask you to stay at or below your goal weight for six months to a year…

The clothes would be professionally cleaned before they ever went back into stock. And I wouldn't have underwear, bras or chamisoles.

I don't agree with this. I know myself that even with Baratric surgery as an aid I have to exercise. Not everyone loses with just a deficiancy in calories. There is no secret way to do this. We all have to keep moving and eat healthy for it to work. My advice....stay off the scales for a couple of weeks change the exercise…

Got up this morning and did 20 minutes of Zumba....fought the urge to go back to bed. I have a three mile walk planned for this evening. Gotta keep moving to keep losing.

I love Zumba....I do add other things in a couple of times a week to change it up kind of trick my body. I do it on my xbox kinect. The core Zumba is my favorite.

You have gotten a lot of advice. Just want to say it depends on your struggle. I had a gastric sleeve done 3 months ago. And many are right you still have to make better food choices and you MUST stay active. This is not the miracle cure. It is however a wonderful tool for those of use that have struggled all our lives. I…

That seems odd.....you can always change your requirements by doing the custom. Women should eat 60-90 proteins grams a day to keep from losing muscle this is according to my nutritionist.

Totally understand your frustration. I actually did a year of nutrition appointments and then the surgeon want me to lose another 30 lbs to be at a certain BMI. But, I was very blessed because he decided to leave town and go into private practice so he did all the surgeries in a month period as long as we had all the…

this is what I do when similiar things happen to me. Put a post-um on your computer or something that you for sure look at 5 to 6 times a day, that says "Will start am work outs on Monday." And every time I see the message I read it and tell myself the plan to make sure that happens. After the day comes and goes and you…

I understand I have a husband that doesn't eat veggies and likes junk food more than real food. You can't change him. My only suggest would be to get up and take a walk when he comes in with food that you don't want to eat. Especially if you love this guy. You can only change yourself not other people. Let him decide if he…

I think it has to do with how well you take care of yourself while you are losing weight. Especially if you are a bariatric patient. Must take the vitamins and make sure you do what the doctor's are telling you to do.

Fit into pants yesterday that I had not had on in over 7 years.

Hope you are doing better. I had my surgery ten days ago. I find everyday gets a little better and I am able to get closer and closer to the amount of the requirments. Make sure you are moving and walking as much as possible. And to be honest on my third day I wondered what I was thinking in doing this. But today I am…

Just had the gastric sleeve done Jul 15th. I am already down 14lbs. Trust me I don't think it will keep falling off at that rate but it sure is motivating. Glad to find a group with same experience.:flowerforyou:

I had gastric sleeve done July 15th. Trust me this is an aid not a cheat. I have been over weight since I was nine and I am now 44. Research it talk to your doctor but don't ever think this is the easy way out. To be successful you have to change your attitude about food even with this. You can lose the weight but if you…

Hard addiction to break. Takes about three days for me. Just drink water whenever you are having a craving. And I know from experience that once I am off soda I should not think about even having one once in a while. Once my three days is over I am fine but if I have a full one it is like I have to break the cycle again. I…
