Too funny! I'm starting boot camp today too! I have only been losing about 2-3 lbs a month since November time to get it!! I also can't wait for the biggest loser to come back on this Sunday! Water is a big issue for me I have never reached my doctors daily goal even once! I'm ready to do this!

Thanks guys!

Hey all I am a little over 6 months out was sleeved June 4th. I have lost 103 lbs. as of date. I know this is huge! No way I could have done this on my own. But I have only lost 3 lbs since election day. I'm gettin kind of bummed would really like to see onderland by new years. I am only 7 lbs away * sigh* my question I guess is this for all of you " old timers" does your body reach a set point and then slow down? I have been between 1000-1200 daily. I know I need to up my exercise too. Thinking about doing miss divas boot camp. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Good for you! I thinks it's awesome!!

Looking fab!!

I am not a doctor and you should always follow YOUR doctors advice. That being said I too had problems with "sips" I would sip too much air in while drinking out of a cup no matter how small my doctor said to try a straw. It worked wonders!! I would sip from a straw just enough liquid to fill the roof of my mouth and then swallow. Some doctors I read about on here advise against straws because of swallowing too much air but everyone is different so try a straw it couldn't be any worse than what your experiencing now. Good luck!!

It's been a while since I've posted but I am 5 months and 2 days out and I hit 100 lbs down today so stoked! I love my sleeve! 10 more pounds til onederland! Here I come!!

Ok I'm in!

Let's get started!!!!

As f this morning I am 217! 10 pounds to go don't think I'll make it but I am pleased!

Walmart! coupons.com also has 1.00 coupon if that's your thing you're allowed to print 2 good way to save some money to see if you like them first!

I understand how you feel. I too had wls and no one had seemed to notice. I am now down 90 pounds and down 4-5 sizes and people are just now noticing and complementing me! So it does take a while but you will get there!

Weigh in as of this morning 228.5!

Been a while since I've weighed in super busy around here plus I've been in a stall my first one since being sleeved 06/04 so I can't complain! Weigh in as of this am 225.5!

Awesome job!

West Virginia!

A normal day in the life of my sleeve usually looks something like this.

Breakfast: coffee with 2 tbs coffeemate Creamer and 1 tbs unflavored whey Protein

Mid morning snack: string cheese or Greek yogurt sometimes nutrisystem protein pretzels

Lunch: deli turkey meat and sliced Tomato and a slice of 2% American cheese

Dinner: usually whatever I cook for the family spaghetti sauce no noodles or green Beans and a turkey burger no bun with some cheese and a-1 sauce or hot dogs no Buns or just the taco meat and cheese. I always use extra lean beef or ground turkey.

Snacks: depending on my protein levels for the day I will have a shake with 30 grams of protein and I will not lie I still occasionally have a coke my surgeon says its fine but everyone should follow their own surgeons instructions

Great job!

WOW!!! you look great!!! i am also a little over 3 months but so far i have lost only 20lbs.. i which i could lose weight that fast!!!

Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks! It will come off for you too! The more you have to lose the faster it comes off in the beginning.

Great idea! Especially if it would be family friendly meals!

Is that 82 pounds total after sugery weight included

Yes this is total after surgery. I did not have a pre op diet.

Yes! Very tuff!!!

I never heard of TRX but I'll have to check into it. Although there are no Y's anywhere near me. I kinda live in the sticks.

Let me know what you think after you check it out there are some good videos on you tube.

Vw been doing a lot of reading about circuit training and cross fit workouts lately. I really wanted to join a cross fit center but it was 100 for 2 classes per week. So I just came up with my own circuit I did at home.

I started with 10 hard minutes on the elliptical. Basically sprinting by the end on 10/10 resistance and incline.

Then....

10 modified pull ups (cause I can't do real ones)

10 mountain climbers

5 barbell dead lifts with 135 pounds

10 crunches

10 pullovers with 35 pounds

10 dumbell curls 20 pounds

Then run 200 yards

Do that circuit 3 times with no rest. It took me 21 minutes' date=' I should be able to do it quicker next time now that I know what I'm doing.

I must say I was whipped. The best part is you can substitute any exercise. The key is no rest.[/quote']

Have you tried trx? I started trx classes at my local YMCA and I have never in all of my years done anything so hard! I have heard of cross fit but the closest center is a hour drive one way!

I too entered hospital at 297 u look great I'm only 4 weeks out and at a stall what's the secret to your greatness? I'm trying everything

Honestly I just followed the program! Early out ( like at 2 weeks) I went on a long vacation with all of my family so I didn't weigh during that time. When I came back home and got on the scale I had only lost like 4 pounds those 2 weeks so I guess I wasn't aware I was in a stall. I just try and hit my Water and Protein and live life! When I hit 60 lbs lost I did kinda stall for a week or so and someone said to me what did you do hit 60 pounds and quit? I was furious! It lit a fire under my behind and I joined the YMCA honestly I am doing things I never dreamed possible!! I did a 5 k last weekend and have been doing trx classes( thought I was going to die the day after my first class I was that sore! If you don't know what trx is check it out on YouTube) not only am I doing these things I LOVE it! I get terribly irritated if I miss a workout! But just believe in your sleeve! The weight will come off! I never thought I'd be living life the way I am now before my sleeve I just existed. You will break your stall soon enough and that weight will be melting off your body! Just keep on keeping on!
