[wannabeyummi]

[lamb_reader]

That's so true. What op did you have ? X

I had a sleeve in February in Turnov CZ

I don't really pay attention to my BMI, or pounds for that matter, but to the way I look in clothes. I know, I sound shallow as hell but I think it really depends on how you carry your weight. Some people have an average BMI and look slim and fit; others have a lower BMI but still look a bit chubby in certain areas... So once I like the way I look and feel in clothes (without is another matter entirely!) I'll stop.

You're absolutely right. Because I am 5'10 with tiny bones, I never looked that fat until it was way beyond where I should have done something before (if that makes sense), I kept on saying I was too fat, and friends were saying it was in my head. Even now, size 26-28, I get people saying they find it hard to believe, they would have put me as an 18/20 max (they obviously haven't seen me naked, lol).

As for BMI, I never ever checked it until I tried to get the op done under the NHS, and even then it betrayed by stubbornly staying just under the 40 mark!

I have not had my op yet...but I did meet up with a friend who had hers 2 years ago. She was 25st when she started, and she set herself a goal of under 11 stone. Did she do it? Yep and then some, she now weighs a healthy 10.3 and I walked straight past her in the street! The literature I got from my consultant said that with the sleeve I could expect to loose between 80 and 90% of my EBW. I have every confidence it will happen, i just need to exercise as it starts to come off!!!

 

[tealovingsleever]

That's not the general advice with a sleeve, it's 70%.

 

[Yvessa]

Lol l and d say 50-60 for sleeve and 60-70 bypass. Ultimately it's not what you've had but what you do with it.

 

[tealovingsleever]

Very true Yve.

Sometimes I think even having the tool and putting effort into losing weight just isn't enough sadly,My weight just doesn't want to budge.

Yankeegirl your friend has done amazingly like quite a few on this thread

 

[tealovingsleever]

Oh no carebear. How much more do you want to lose?

 

[carebear1]

7st its just not going to happen. My team are just saying carry on exercising and eating low fat but bypasses don't work for everyone they wasn't saying that before I had the op *rolls eyes*

I would sack them if I could. I did suggest that maybe I should eat more and they said no

 

[tealovingsleever]

Haven't you lost any weight?


I don't eat low fat anything! Do you track?

 

[carebear1]

about 4st from milk and the drastic weight you lose in wk one and two. It fluctuates so much. I eat low fat because they say I must. Yes I track on my fitnesspal and my dietitian looked through and said I'm doing great with my food and protein.

 

[tealovingsleever]

If its not working I'd say you need to change something or try something different.

I sometimes wonder if eating a small ammount of high fat stuff might be beneficail. I have terrible constipation but read somewhere that some wlsers eat some double cream or full fat cheese and that gets them going !

 

[carebear1]

Yeah I'm going to add more exercise to my routine,only 30 mins because I do 70 mins a day already see if that helps.

Not that I've noticed!

Might be worth doing different exercises?

 

[carebear1]

I currently do 30 mins on my elliptical trainer,30 mins aerobics with ankle weights and 10 mins on my exercise bike on a fat burning programme. You got any suggestions?
