I can't wait to actually buy clothes when I go shopping and not end up buying lipstick or a purse 'cause none of the clothes fit me or at least the ones I like according to my age!

Hi. I am at 191 today (I weigh in every Thursday) so I have lost 36 lbs in 8 weeks after surgery (feeling great!). I drop 2 to 4 lbs a week depending on how good I am with the fluid intake and the exercise. Exercise is indeed really important but fluid intake is the key to weight loss (at least in my case). Even if I exercise regularly, if I don't drink the recommended amount of fluid I don't lose much. Another thing is, get as much protein as possible. It will keep you satisfied way longer, it will prevent you from craving bad stuff and it will help you lose safely! Also, when you are full, stop eating..do not eat more than what you are capable of, even if it is protein what you are eating…..you will get used to be full and that is not good since you would be slowly expanding your stomach which will hold more and more food as time goes by. Good luck and enjoy your journey!

Hi. Sleeved on July 4rd overseas. I'm down 30 lbs (no prep op diet - day of surgery 227, last Friday -weighing day: 197!!!) and feeling good except for this lack of energy that's killing me. I've always being a very activate person, now can only think of laying on my couch all day. I do exercise because I love it and find energy anywhere for that! Any suggestions? I take B12, multivitamins and Biotin. Tomorrow I start iron and vitamin C on my nutricionist's advice. Let hope for energy to come and rescue me!!!!
