Let’s talk about self care. A while back I wrote a book, in it I mentioned the oxygen mask analogy: if you ever traveled on a plane and was bored enough to pay attention to the safety presentation you’ll remember the flight attendant mentioning: In the event the shit hits the fan and oxygen masks deploy YOU MUST make sure your mask is secured before you help others. Even your loved ones next to you!! WHY? Because you can’t help them if you’re knocked out. (I’m paraphrasing the in-flight lesson; however I think you’ll agree my way would get more attention.) on the ground we rarely take the time to make sure we are breathing first. We put others first and we very rarely make / take sacrifices for our own wellness. That’s NOT healthy. There’s no moral justification to this either because again.... you can’t help someone when you’re knocked out. Let’s explore this, talk about self-care and show others ITS OK to care of yourself!!! ————————————————- Self-care includes anything that you love to do. What makes you feel recharged, well-rested, and happy? Everyone can and will have a different definition and that’s awesome!!! What are some different things that you can do for self-care? Do you take the time? Why? Why not? How? Comment below and let’s have a REAL healthy convo. Help ourselves while helping others. -Keith @6months100pounds P.s.

6 Month Check Up

On Monday I went to see my surgeon for my 6 month follow up. To be honest, I was extremely nervous. I’ve been following my program and working out as I’ve been told to do, but there is always this little voice in the back of my mind saying “am I doing it right? Am I doing enough? Am I on track?”

Turns out that I am on track. Better than on track, actually. My surgeon said that I have lost a little more weight than most have a six months and that, if I keep doing what I am, I’ll have lost 90% of my excess weight by the time he sees me again at the end of the year.

For me, that was exactly what I needed to hear. It’s nice to know that I’m on track and that the habits I have started (and maintained) are working.

There are some things that I do need to change:

I’m eating too much

My surgeon says that, at this point, I should only be eating 3/4 of a cup at a time. I’m finding that I’m eating more than that. Almost twice as much. It does take me almost an hour and half to eat this much. He suggested that I add an additional meal into the day rather than overeating.

I need to keep up on my meds

I’ve had a hard time keeping up with the amount of medication that I have to take on a daily basis. I’ve tried setting alarms, taking my pills with me everywhere, but I often find myself slipping just a little bit. For instance, I’ll get all of my meds in except for a single missed Calcium Citrate pill.

I need to vary my exercise routine

I work out 5 - 6 days a week, but it’s mostly cardio. I need to figure out how to work in some weights, but I don’t know where to start. I’ve been doing the leg press in order to strengthen my knee, but aside from that I’m basically lost. I also need to figure out how to work in some Ab stuff...but again...I’m basically lost. Gym class did not prepare me for this bs.

All in all these are changes that I know I can make... I think.

No. I know I can. In the past 6 months I have made harder changes than these and as long as I am focused I can do anything I set my mind to.

Progress Post

Hi gang,

Feeling a lot better now that I’m a week out from gallbladder surgery. Off the pain meds, able to (seemingly) eat whatever I was eating before and back at work. Bandages are off and I now have a total of 9 keyhole wounds. A few of the 4 new ones are very close to my sleeve wounds, so once the swelling/bruising goes down it’ll be an interesting comparison I suppose. Not thrilled to have more cuts but anything is better than the pain of gallstones, and anyone who has been through it will agree.

Didn’t eat so much calorie-wise while I was stuck at home, but can’t go back to gym yet so I’m not anticipating much weight loss for a while. I have 5 weeks until my 1 year surgiversary where I’d hoped to be at 80kg but I’m not holding my breath for that. We’ll just see how we go.

Start Weight: 138.1kg (304lbs)

Current Weight: 86kg (189lbs)

Total Loss: 52.1kg (115lbs)

HEY HI HELLO!

I haven’t posted in forever but I think getting back into the Tumblr WLS community will help me get back on track. So here I am! I had lost 110 pounds after my VSG 3 years ago and have since gained 30 back. THIS IS NOT OKAY. So, like I said, getting back on track, looking for motivation, etc etc. I’ll also be posting about my own progress again because it helps me feel accountable. :)

@wlshirts CONTEST!! ONE comment will win a shirt from @wlshirts !! Sometimes we need reminders why we do what we do. It’s so easy to get stuck in the day to day that we lose track of the big picture. Lately I’ve been trying to remind myself WHY I put so much work into this community. Then it hit me we haven’t done this post in a long time. So maybe I need this. Running this community takes A LOT of time, effort and energy and it’s very easy to get overwhelmed. None of us are perfect and I think it’s important to recognize odds are if we got big in the first place we were probably fighting other battles too. When life is going great it’s super easy to see the tree and the forest around it. When life gets hard sometimes we need to push ourselves to see the forest past the tree standing in front of us. No matter if you’re starting your journey or lost 170lbs like me. ASK WHY. I always start out with WHY. Why do you want to be healthy? Why do you want this lifestyle? Why do you want this new body? And does what it takes to achieve this goal WORTH your why? Your mind is an investment banker. It will only do what is determines to be worthy of doing. MY WHY 👉 this community helps keep me accountable. It helps me see things in myself I never thought possible. It’s how I never went back to 170lbs!! Sooo.... what’s your why? Comment below. There will be no judgements, only love and support! ________________ Good news!! That fact you showed up means your already on your way. Be proud of who you are!! And for the love of freaking God tell someone they are awesome tonight!! -Keith @6months100pounds ________________ SIDE NOTE: I tagged people who are worthy of a follow. Good people, care about the community. ________________________________ 👉 Wlstories is a SUPPORT GROUP. Please help others SEE THIS POST by mentioning Wlstories in your ig stories feed.

“I’m not hungry...”

I find myself saying this an awful lot lately.

I’m supposed to be eating every three hours, small protein filled meals, but I keep findi myself with very little to no appetite. Honestly, if I wasn’t in the gym 5 - 6 times a week I wouldn’t be too worried. However, with as much as energy as my body is expelling, I need to be eating to fuel it.

My girls, my support system, try really hard to make sure I’m eating and maintaining the food goals I’m supposed to be meeting, but sometimes I just don’t want to eat. Sometimes the food doesn’t taste right in my mouth. Or it just sits like lead in my stomach.

I know eating is important. Trust me, I do. I’m just not hungry.

3 years and counting.

I forgot my sleveversery this year.

I guess that’s a good thing.

I still throw up every 2-3 months because I think I can eat+drink more than I can.

It’s pretty much the only symptom I still get other than the very occasional Dumping (And I have to eat a LOT of sweets for that)

Otherwise I feel normal and healthy.

My weight has gone back up a bit. I’m at 160ish. I’m cutting out beer at home to hopefully get it back to 150ish. (Both me and my very normal weight boyfriend gained like 10lb, and we’re now working on getting back down) I’ve been up to 160 and back down to 150 a few times since hitting my low of 145.

Honestly as long as I don’t get too much above 160 I think it’s fine, I still like how I look and feel healthy, I just don’t want to let it get past that, and easy lifestyle changes can really help.

So out of 100LB I wanted to lose, I lost 95 and gained back 15. I’m still down 80lb and honestly that’s a big win. 145 honestly felt and looked a tad too skinny on me, 150-155 is a lot better.

Hopefully this helps anyone out there looking to get the surgery. I still recommend it, if I could change anything, it would have been to do this a long time ago.
