I think I started a solid daily routine 2 months out.. And really really working it was at 3 months out.. Good luck!!! Exercise really has made changes in my body =]
-
I would say it has helped me a lot .. But even though I work out 5 days a week 1.5 hrs n a trainer.. I am starting to see more lose skin in my arms, inner thigh and lower abdomen.. But with all and all I feel great.. Idk if not working out would of bn worse??

Putting clothes away and came across my old tight fitted jeans.24/26.. I compared to the ones I bought yesterday 13/14.. I just realized how much a have shrunk .. Sometimes it takes a while to realize .. Yay!! Lol

Good morning everyone!! It's been 5 months already, hurray! So far down 71 lbs but for the last 3 weeks I haven't lost anything =(... Still exercising 5 times a week and eating the same amounts.. but not sure if its a normal stall or what! Anyone experienced a stall around this month? I'm just thinking its weird since I am burning what I intake, maybe it is the muscle I am gaining.. The trainer measured me and I did increase muscle on my legs... not sure if that is holding me back..

Updated pics 9th will be my 5th month started at 284 down to 214 -
Good morning All- Well for about 3 weeks I havent taken any protein shakes at all... I know it is bad and I should but I just got a lil tired of taking it and one day I didnt take it and well here we are .. How bad is it? I woke up today thinking I can get sick?.. SO far I have not lost any energy.. still working out 5 times a week .. Haven't seen any symptoms that have scared me to take it again... I know I should though =(... My hair is still falling but in the same rate as when I was taking the shakes.. so I am not sure.. Has any one gotten thru a period of not wanting to take protein shakes? I mean I do eat fish, meat, milk, eggs etc etc but I am just not taking the extra shakes...

Hey guys!! So today was my check up with my personal trainer and I thought I'd share hood news I lost 12 lbs this month, lost 9% of belly fat BUT the important thing was gained some muscle mass !!! Afterall I think I might be eating enough protein Thank you all for your comments and tips. I did buy some power crunch bars n they are delicious wafer type and also some pre made protein drinks with 35 grams ., they are good as well!!! yay, 70lbs down and being on a stall for 2 weeks.. -
I Been Bad =(
GabbyEstrada replied to GabbyEstrada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well my Doctor did not have me start protein shakes till month 2 .. I guess every surgeon has different guidelines. On july 9th I will be hitting my 5th month post op.. I guess I started tpo worry more because this month hairloss has speed up so fast and I am scared of going bald lol well I do see hair growth and my skin and nails are fabulous.. but the hair part no so good... I tried to take powder collagen for a few weeks but that thing is gross!!! I should start taking biotin atleast to slow down the hairloss... Do you guys think you can actually go bald or have bald spots ?? Well if I get to that extreme I guess I shall wear a wig... -
I Been Bad =(
GabbyEstrada replied to GabbyEstrada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your info. Well to be honest I do not keep a log of how much protein I do per day.. But I do try to eat high protein foods like you mentioned. I am not sure if I eat more than 60 grams though.. But I do not feel tired or in bad health on the contrary I feel good, I have been able to even hike 10 miles without getting light headed or anything. But I guess just to make sure I will atleast try to have one shake per day with 2 scoops. -

Thank you for the response girls.. I know it's a bad decision and well I have to get back on track. I am definetly scared of getting muscle wasting... So starting today I will take my protein =) ... Believe me I was even ashamed of admitting that I havent been taking it =( But I guess that is the first step to getting back in track. -
I'm so happy I was able to hike for 5 straight hrs !!! What an accomplishment =]

Gallbladder Issues?
GabbyEstrada replied to mistyf6572's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last week on my 4 month check up they performed an abdominal ultrasound n no more fatty liver but they did see a small tiny stone in my gallbladder .. Is there something I can do to prevent it?? My doctor wasn't too concerned he said it's so small he thinks it should pass .. But idk if I should worry about it?? -

Was wearing size 24 n now can fit dress size 16 but the greatest is.. Today they performed an abdomen ultrasound to check on my fatty liver n now is a minimal.. !!! Before surgery it was saturated with fat.. I am happy !!!!

You look awesome!!! -
You guys think 41lbs in 10 weeks is slow?? I sure feel like it lol I bn going to the gym 4times a week for about 50mins just cardio (2 weeks already).. Is it because I'm not losing so much muscle mass ? I guess sometimes I see some people losing up to 50 lbs by 10 weeks..

I am 2 months post op, today during lunch time I tried a tiny piece of sandwich (turkey) as soon as I swallowed I felt a nasty feeling.. Something stuck.. I got panicked a lil.. Then I had a bit of water when everything came up nasty nasty feeling ever.... I guess bread was too dry or turkey not sure..
