9 months tomorrow.Lost 121.5 pounds.10 to go!

I decided to do the surgery definitely to get down to a healthy BMI.. But in my mind I have this idea of some fit person crossfit training and so on and so forth. Then reality hits, I may not get the luxury of the weight loss I'm looking for.. I'm doing tons and tons of research on bodybuilding and 5x5 stronglifts (I really want abs) but in reality, is all of that even possible? Will I have the energy needed to guide my weight loss in the muscle building direction? Stressed because I don't want to be a skinny fat person. You know, weighs only 150 pounds but has like 35% body fat.. just flubbery. SMH. See, worrying about the wrong things. I have to continue to remind myself, just one day at a time. That's all. Set small goals and do the best you can to reach them.. I hope I'm not the only person stressing about this...

DanaInNewOrleans,I am not strictly low carb though.I am between 30 and 60 carbs a dayI use way to much milk every day,some days my carbs from that is over 30.It just seems that when I go that low calories I have to get a little more carbs and fats.Not too much but some. But then,some days I am very low carb and some days not.Maybe the very fact that I am not consistent also helps as the body is never deprived of anything for too long.But then,who knows!

Girl! Please! If you can see it, you can do it!! You can do anything that you put your mind to! Dont stop! Push push push! You are young and strongwilled and thats the perfect recipe for success! You got this!

I was always cold too. until I started the vitamin B-12 shots. I take them once a week , and you should take your vitamins and protein. I know it's hard sometimes, but try and eat beans, cheese, fish, and cottage cheese if you will not take protein shakes.

I hope you're at least taking your vitamins. Sounds like you need a Vitamin B12 shot.

the protein is not regular, i'm actually sick of them so sometimes i don't drink the protein shakes and water is not enough either, need to improve on both but very hard I'm usually not thirsty so i don't drink as much :-(

When I get like that I need Iron are you getting enough protein,drinking 64oz of water

You go Dee! What a great story! Rock the house!

Congrats! Wishing you speedy recovery. Happy Sleeve.
