Well I decided not to do Noom.
-
I can't believe it'll be 7 years in March. For the past three years I have been gaining some and then losing it and I am so far off from how I used to eat. Its pretty bad. I want to lose about 20 pounds so I can be back at my goal weight and get back into some old clothes. Has anyone here used Noom? One of my friends has had a lot of success with it. I started a free trial today, it uses cognitive behavioral psychology. They said based on my age and weight I should be able to lose 20 pounds by June. I also got blood work done because I'm peri menopausal and I think my hormones aren

Well this is odd. I was 204 last week with clothes on first thing in the morning. I have been walking at least a mile every other day. I started tracking my food last week and over the weekend I reviewed the VSG rules and decided to get back to low carb, low fat and only eating 4 oz at a meal. For some reason I am 196 this morning.

I think you are right. The problem with pouch reset is when we come home from surgery, we don't have to do much, are on pain killers. I didn't even want to eat anything for a few weeks. Now I work full time and I'm in school full time. That doesn't give enough nutrition for a brain to be functional during that time. I also have a teen daughter and a dog and I live alone. Im not sure how to basically starve myself while living a normal life. The first few days I wouldn't have enough energy to walk my dog much less work and think and not feel completely sick. Maybe I sho

I just have the sleeve and I think in 6 years I have maybe thrown up three times. -
So my low weight was 165 but I looked terrible. My goal was 185 which I maintained for about 4 years. I have been creeping up and down the last two years. Now I'm at 204 and I don't even know what to do. I am tracking my food intake and walking. I know part of it is Covid, staying home, working from home. I think I am having hypoglycemia a lot too. It pisses me off because I could go so long without eating for all these years without getting hypoglycemic. I did read that during perimenopause your blood sugar is more unsteady. I'm afraid that doing the pouch test or doing some

That dog is the reason why my leggings have a hole in them.
