I'm 10 months post op. Chest weight training is your friend in the Moob fight (Lift heavy) 2-3 Times a week to build the pectoral muscles especially incline bench press barbell and Dumbbell.

Congratulations! You look great!

Davalrie you are looking great as well. I'm guilty for over use of the scale too. Lol

Thank you Barb. I still struggle believing it's me doing this.

Wow! Jinxxy5 work it out! Congrats

Here are pics from the morning of my surgery 10/14/2013 and 5/11/14 just under 7 months post op.

7 months post op pics

I was sleeved 7 months ago by Dr. Bessler and he was and still is great. Bessler is one of the top surgeons in the country. I love that he doesn't sugar coat his words he tells it like it is. I couldn't ask for a better experience during my journey.

I can totally relate to the pants size thing. My largest was a size 66; I'm 6 months post op and now wear a comfortable size 38. UNFREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!

Well I just realized that the April 14th was my 6 month surgery anniversary! Yeepee! I'm in the best shape I've been in years. Day of surgery 10/14/13 I weighed in at 384.9 today I'm 273 lbs, 111 lbs down from surgery. WOW

I'm 4 1/2 months post-op and working out 4 days a week with my trainer and doing cardio 6 days a week. I'm hungry all the time which makes me afraid that I will start to gain the weight back. I've also noticed that the amount of food that I consume at one time has increased. My Dietitian wants me to eat meals of 2-3 oz 7 times a day every 3hrs consisting of high Protein and good carbs that will keep me satiated. I told the dietitian about my Special K high protein cereal/crack obsession;I can eat this all day long, she told me to get it out my house and never buy it again because it's obviously a trigger food. I'm so scared of stretching my sleeve and gaining the weight back. I'm 287 today down from 384 on surgery. Anyone going or has gone through this. All advise and comments are welcome. PHEW!

Hey all hope everyone is doing well. I bought a Vitamix blender and curious if anyone has any low calorie & low fat recipes for smoothies or soups they make with a Vitamix and would like to share?

Ooh sounds delicious I'll give a try. Thanks
