Pre surgery 298 8/31/12 Day of Surgery 285 Today 222 Total Lost 76 Since Surgery 63 Shooting for 217 by Christmas

Absolutely, good job!

I got sleeved 8/31. On surgery day I weighed 285 pounds. I am now at 234, down 51 pounds since surgery and 65 pounds overall. I am working out 4 times per week. I feel fantastic. I will be under 220 by Christmas.

What up Jerseygirl?

My surgeon actually stitched and then glued the staple line.

I don't know anything about that glue except that my surgeon used it on me already. He also glued on top of my outer stitches. They were never itchy and when the glue fell off, my stitches had dissipated! Pretty cool. 28 days out, 34 pounds down since surgery, 47 since per op diet.

I typically burp and get bubbles as well.

Look into your local YMCA. Our neighborhood Y is 85 bucks per month for my wife, child, and I. they have 3 pools, 9 baseball fields, a pleather of soccer and football fields. They have organized sports for men, women, and children of all ages. This includes an indoor basketball court, full gym, personal training services, yoga, Zumba, spinning, and all sorts of awesome activities. I had my first personal training session today. It went great! I haven't done weights since high school! I am amazed at how I sweated. I always balked at weights because my diet was so bad. But now that I have limited intake, my plan is to get ripped!

I have been doing 30-60 minutes 4 - 5 times per week on the treadmill and/or elliptical. Tomorrow is the first appt with my new personal trainer. I am beginning an aggressive 6 day per week upper body workout. I will cut down to 15 -25 minutes of cardio and do more strength training. I will take it easy on the abs until I am a bit further out. However, I will still work on the waist.

Great question. I want to know as we'll.

I want to know too.

Great question, I have been thinking about the same thing.

I was 298 preop. 285 on surgery day and now 264. I am 19 days out.

You mentioned you can eat anything. Do you feel restriction from your sleeve?
