@ 1-4-Many...lol. Thank you!

SO LONG, GOODBYE, ADIOS, ARRIVEDERCI and however else you can say it to those damn 300's forever!!! Now I know it's only 299.4 but hey it counts...I'm so excited YAYYYYY!!!!

Thanks! Now my new short term goal is 275... I can't wait!

Thank you everyone...I'm so excited! I hope everyone gets to feel this feeling. It's such a feeling of accomplishment considering I've always failed at weightloss in the past...

Hello everyone...I meant to post this last week but its been hectic for me...Anyway if you all have a FB page and need help with motivation for working out, like I did. You join "Kevein Powell's 30 days of health & wellness". You have to workout everyday in June for at least 30 min. It's really helped me, I've lost 4 pounds this week and there's tons of tips! Good luck!

Great idea!

I don't know what's wrong with me; maybe it's because the weight is coming off so quickly compared to pre-op. But I can't seem to stay motivated to go to the gym! I've always been an athlete and worked out (I just loved to eat) but now i'm content with staying home for some reason. I have a wedding that i'm in in July 20th its a strapless dress and i really want to loose 25 more lbs by then...so does anyone have any suggestions on staying motivated??? Thanks!

Thanks Diva...I just joined so hopefully all the gym rats can help keep each other motivated. And Wishes I joined "Kevin Powell's Weight & Wellness 30 day challenge" on facebook so I definitely have a short term fitness goal now. Thanks everyone really good ideas...it takes a village...LOL!

You're so right Coops thanks for that...I am definitely going to the gym tomorrow!

Thanks guys! That's a good idea Smileforamile91...i'm going to hang that dress up right now!

I'm super late but I want to join in too! SW......CURRENT......GOAL.....LBS TO LOOSE 360......307............285......22!

I was sleeved at Memorial Hermann in the Woodlands they have one and there is one on 1960 near 45 I plan on attending one of these this month...hope that helps!

Honestly he seemed like a really good surgeon...I just had a lot of people refer me to Spiegal and that was a HUGE mistake! I absolutely love the surgeon I finally decided on! Good luck!

I started out with Dr. Yu, then Spiegal and finally settled on Dr. Dexter Turnquest...I love him! Really great surgeon!

I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere but Does anyone have any advice on how to get more protein in without shakes? The shakes make ne want to throw up! I'm almost 1 month out but can only eat about 2 - 3 oz maybe 3 - 4 times a day. I know that's clearly not enough but I don't know what else to do?

Thank you so much I'm going to try all of them...LOL!

I'm almost 3 weeks out and just wondering when everyone started to work out? I'm going to ask my doctor when I see him at the end of this month but thought I'd ask all of you too?

Thanks for the responses! I'm going to start walking for now and ask my Dr about the more intense stuff when I see him...

Well, I was sleeved on March 22nd and the first 48 hours were absolutley awful! I was ready to give it back if I could...lol. And although I feeling better today I can't help but think what on earth have I done to myself. I have no energy (I have no idea how i'm gonna go back to work on Tuesday); the gas pain in my chest everytime I sip something is horrble and I'm just wondering....when will I feel like myself again! Just venting!!!

I'm a nervous wreck! It hasn't hit me until now...now I've got a serious case of the "what if's"...

Hey everyone thanks for all the comments! I'm home now but it has not been the greatest couple of days for me! I had "sleever's remorse" the first night...it was awful but with each day I'm feeling.g better. My sleeve is really tight so getting liquids down is tough. Keep praying for guys! Thanks!

Thanks guys! You will do great too Marti good luck and keep me posted!

Hi! I'm nervous too my surgery is Tuesday with Dr. Turnquest but I've heard good things about Spivak so I'm positive you'll do just fine good luck!
