A good week, but not easy. I started weighing myself every other day instead of only on Sunday mornings. Also cut back on calories from 1200 to 800 daily after reading on the forums how other men have had success. And the dreaded "E" word. I exercised by being a lot more active this week, as suggested here. Cut the lawn with a push mower instead of the tractor, did a lot of yard work, and walked between buildings at work instead of driving, plus extra walking just to get the steps in.
I hoping I keep up the motivation and see my goal of 180 this year.
Have a great week

A couple of bad days eating really throws off the good ones :-) Evenings are such a killer for me. Sunday mornings are tough, they are like going to confession on the mens' forum. Ah, cleared of my sins, a new week is here!
Have a great week

I had surgery around the same time. I feel you pain. Stalled to early and too long for my liking.

Your quote of the week is right on. I'm going to print it out and put it on my refrigerator and at work.
Have a great week

I hate exercise for the sake of exercising! I do enjoy bike riding with my daughter and going for walks with the Mrs.
What do you guys enjoy that constitutes exercise?

I had a feeling it was going to be bad this morning. Worked Saturday and the went out with the Mrs. in the evening and had a little tavern food. Feel guilty, but thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Have a great week

I know I need to exercise more, but I am keeping my calories between 1200 and 1400, as my nutritionist suggested. I really thought I was going to do well this weigh in.
Have a great week everyone!

I bought some 1 cup containers and put leftovers in them and freeze. I keep them in a freezer at work. I also like to put Brussels sprouts or over frozen veggies in small containers and freeze for snacks. A few sticks of chicken or beef jerky are good for non perishables.

Happy Easter everyone! I was on travel for work which involved a lot of walking and stair climbing. Looks like it worked out, but it sure is nice to be home :)

Wi**** was better but I will take it. Only got to the gym once. Evening/boredom eating is raising its ugly head. I'm hoping gardening, biking and yardwork will take care of that. This week will be the first time I am on travel since WLS. It will be challenging since it will be 12 hour days and I'm not sure how I will have healthy snacks mixed in.
Have a great week everyone!

I was worried that I would be up a few. Maybe there is something to that exercise thing :-) I will use this loss as incentive to keep on exercising. The walk with the wife was nice, but the gym still does not thrill me.
John, enjoy Cleveland! A few months a go I could have told you some good places to eat on the West side. Today they don't fit my menu requirements :-)
Have a great week everyone!

Finally broke the stall. Looking forward to better weather so I can ride the bike I just bought. It's used but a decent one. Last one I bought was 30 years ago. That one I used only a handful of times.
Had an appointment with my bariatric physician last week (three month check up). She was very happy with how I was progressing.
Have a great week everyone!

Very unhappy. Exercised twice, walked more and a gain?
Just so I am accountable here, I put in the paperwork to join our fitness center at work today. The trainer asked what I had in mind. I have no clue. What would you guys recommend? I will have a physical assessment next week.
Thanks. I just looked up Osrtim meat sticks, and they seem to have a lot of protein for fewer calories. Going to order some through Amazon.

No exercise, no excuses. OK I was on the exercise bike once last week. Looking to break this stall soon.
Have a great week everyone!
It seems that either I am hungry or full, with hardly any time in between. I eat enough and am satiated for maybe an hour, and then hungry again. I try to have a healthy snack after two hours, something like 4 oz cottage cheese or some snap peas and hummus. Anyone else have this? And any suggestions on how to cope or what to try?
thanks,
Bob
Don, your signature line is so true! While starting my two week pre op diet,and while t work, i let out what I thought was an innocent little blast . A short minute later I was in the men's room, cutting my underwear off with a pocket knife so the semi contained contents would not spill. The rest of the day was spent commando. :-) I've kept an extra pair in my car since then.
232 on home scale, Although the scale at my Nutritionist appointment Friday said 236.

Weather is slightly improving, I hope to start walking for exercise! That is the hardest component for me. I just hate it. :-)
I am only three months out from VSG, but it seams I tolerate most things I have tried. Beef and venison were the roughest, but within the last few weeks it is better. Perhaps I am learning to chew more. I completely avoid rice and bagels, two foods I used to really enjoy. Hell, I enjoyed all food :-) I tried a little and they swelled up in my sleeve which was extremely uncomfortable. Throwin up? I have on more than a few times. Mainly because I ate too fast and didn't realize I was full. This is probably the hardest part of WLS for me. I have a ways to go, si I will be asking questions of you vets.

Was there a VSG choice in 2006? I went to a seminar about 10 years ago and they talked about the lap band, but I decided not to do it. Then last year my Gastro doc told me about VSG just before I was due for another colonoscopy. That is when I started to look into it.
Just curious why people got the type of WLS they did.

Greetings LilBill, and all,
I am fairly new too. I saw the post also and figured I should stop here more often. Bill, I am not nearly as old as you, I am 56 :-) Hobbies are the outdoors, camping which I don't do nearly enough, cooking, computers, and electronics. I am not a hunter, but I can cook up a lot of venison and other game. My older brother is an avid hunter and his wife and my wife won't eat game, so we get together and cook out with our buddies. I am very happy as just recently I have been able to eat venison smokies! I'm hoping to have questions answered as I progress and answer questions where I can. I was sleeved 11/28/2016 In Cleveland, OH. So greetings to all!
