Pre surgery wt. - 168 Current wt. - 195

Wow you look great keep it up !!!

Awww I was thinking of checking in all my april sleevers just yesterday so glad y'all started this thread I was sleeved April 11, 2012 (preop wt) 268 as of today I'm currently 206 and am feeling amazing 62 lbs down now I can't wait to get to onederland hopefully these 6 lbs will go easy !!!!

I had a drink about two months out and have a drink at least once a week usually I drink vodka tonic with lime with cranberry they have cranberry juice made with Splenda that I use or the skinny girl line is usually low cal low carb depending which one you get . I suggest you take it easy at first and see how your body tolerates it cause I did have an experience where I felt fine and then it all hit me at once and let's just say I didn't feel very good the next day haha !!! I even have an occasional glass of wine I just track my calories on my fitness pal and always make sure I'm staying within my calories and working out !! I'm almost four months out now and have lost 60 pounds and feeling great

229 this morning :-)

If you have an iPhone there's a Nike training app that gives you 30 minute workouts on target areas it's really cool I'm sure any other smart phone has it as well

Thanks ladies I was thinking the same I haven't been eating all my exercise calories but have been eating about 200-300 more calories on the days I workout and prior to working out I usually have a protein shake so we shall see but I have to say I feel amazing now that I'm able to workout intensely !!!

Ok if I'm only eating maybe 600-800 calories a day and when I workout I'm burning the same amount usually 600-800 calories should increase my calories if possible ? I don't wanna pass out or anything like that haha!!!

Starting weight: 268 lbs Current weight : 233 lbs Total:35 lbs Surgery date: april11 Feeling amazing

Congrats looking good !!

Wow you look great keep it up !!

Thanks she actually posted a similar thread !!!!

So crazy that y'all posted this cause I'm also a night nurse that recently returned to work last night I felt hungry more often but then again I'm not able to sit down and eat a meal so I'm constantly picking at my lunch throughout the whole shift and trying to get enough calories in cause I know how much I need them especially cause I'm constantly going for 12 hours . The dr said at my two week follow up that when your not getting enough fluids that your body will retain fluid so im sure that's why we tend to retain water cause we probably aren't getting enough fluids in cause I know as hard as I work even though I think I'm getting a sufficient amount of fluids as hard as we work we need double the amount that we usually get which is obviously easier said than done !!! I know that was a huge run on sentence but oh well haha :-) oh yeah and happy nurses week to my fellow nurses !!!

Okay so I recently returned to work and I find that while at work I'm getting hungry more frequently? I'm not sure if it's due to the increase in activity and my body is metabolizing the food faster ? Oh FYI I'm an RN at a hospital so for 12 hours I am going constantly so I'm not sure if that's the reason and also I'm not able to actually sit down and eat so I'm just picking at my lunch here and there when I get a chance so just needed some feedback cause while I was at home I wasn't getting so hungry ?!?
