Happy New Year!!! Just remember how far you have come. I hope to have another great year with all of you and watching everyone reach their goals.
As a reminder, it is not how fast that you finish the race but that you finished it. Let's keep this going into 2018!!!

The left was me just doing cardio. I was losing weight and was down to 189 lbs in this picture. The right is mainly weight lifting and HIIT. In this picture I weigh 195 lbs. I have come to the conclusion that I may not reach my weight goal but I am definitely reaching my body goals.

@FluffyChix Keep up the good work with doing your PT. It took over a year to get back mobility in the my ankle. Unfortunately, I will never have full mobility but I am 80% there and that is okay. Using their gym works because you have trained and certified staff members.

I didn’t pay any attention to my diet over the holidays, nor have I worked out and I managed to lose about 5lbs. I’m still not paying too close (strict) attention, but I will be working out again once the kiddos are back in school. So, I’m quite sure, I’ll see a fluctuated scale number (if I actually checked). My goal, change my physique. I’ve gotten a bit jelly here. Lol you posting your pics is inspiring to me. I love seeing the transformation. I will do the same in the near future and hopefully it’ll help someone else out.

So I had a Kanye West moment recently. I went off on a rant. I got my scale it said that I had gained 8lbs in 1 day. How Sway!! How!!
I finally got the courage to video myself doing a workout. I am proud.

Ya'll I took the sexist selfie at the gym yesterday. I messed around and cat-fished myself lol. I was like damn girl I would date all of that lol. Picture had me forgetting about my loose skin and that was amazing. I never thought I would have the confidence to take a picture like this or ever thought I would look like this. My body is coming together nicely. I will take loose skin and smile over being obese and unhealthy any day!!

Thank you both. I feel really strong and sexy. It is days like these that make me push forward when I do not have the motivation.

You go girl! And while you're going, don't forget to stop by either the Mars and Venus colliding board or the Girls Room to open a new post discussing your sexiness.
We need a new thread about how great this surgery is on our self esteem and libido. bahahahahaha! Not being salacious. Just begging for new material to read that catches fire and goes for 58 pages. Those kinds of threads always bring in a crowd.

I prefer free weights. I feel like keeping myself stable while trying to hold the weights, leaves me with a better workout feel. I have attached my leg training below. I would say to start off with lighter weights and slowly increase. I started off with these weights because I was doing HIIT prior to this to gain the muscle memory. Each week try increasing the weight by 2.5 - 5 lbs. I hope this helps and gives you some ideas. Note the weekly increase for myself: Week 1 Week 2 Goblet Squats: 25 lbs 30 lbs Walking Lunges: 10 lbs (5e) 15 lbs (7.5e) Leg Press: 90 lbs (45e Side) 100 lbs (50e Side) Reverse Lunges: 10 lbs 15 lbs Cable Abduction: 5 lbs 10 lbs Remember to take your time and slowly increase the weights.

post op sweats
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to Scottinaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you both tried checking your temperature? I we sent home with the breathing machine and a thermometer to check my temperature twice a day for the first 2 weeks to ensure that I didn’t get a fever or infection. -
Leaks are rare. I have met many people with the sleeve and they have never had a leak. As long as your surgeon has great stats, you will be fine.

Just Curious .. can you handle bread, rice, pasta?
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to Leo85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cannot tolerate bread. Past and rice has been to be in small amount (1/4 cup) -

Post op complications
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to Arabikqueen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you very much. Lol I am still on the fact that I am going to buy more bras. That pain really changed my idea of surgery across the board. I still remember the pain and the sleepless nights. I use that as a reminder every time I might fall off of the wagon. My heart is like, "You better put those donuts down!! Gurl do you not remember the pain you went through? Oh well let me remind you." (cramps in stomach immediately). I know that it is hard to get through the first month. The first month is always the toughest. I had pain in my stomach, back and legs whenever I walked. The first week out, I almost licked a Donut. I at the following: 1 - Red lobster commercial 2 - Applebees commercials (I LOVE APPLEBEES) 4 - Taco Bell commercials (I used to live for Taco Bell) 8 - Burger King commercials (Let's just say the delivery guy knew me on a first name basis) The second week, I had to be put on fluids because I was dehydrated. I had to buy baby food (bananas) because I was lacking potassium. I was miserable but looking back at it. I would do it again to have the ability to do what I do now. -

I understand the regret stage. I made a video on it. I just had to get how I was feeling out then. Being 8 months out, I would not take it back for anything. I love how active I am now. Its the first month but it gets easier. Things do get better. -
Food
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to ttaytayy1218@aol.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Vitamin Shoppe, Walmart, GNC, BJ’s. I shop all over because each store offers something that the other may not. Also I try a lot of new and different recipes, so I like seeing who has the best fruits and vegetables. I also buy my meat from a Butcher and Fish from the Market. -
3 days out and hungry
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to ToughButFair's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try increasing your protein shakes from 1 to 2. Also try increasing your water. I noticed that when I drink more water, I am less hungry. -
Tired of the stall
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to teedsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It happens. The stalls suck but they pass. I had to increase my calorie intake by 100 calories and continue to exercising but increasing the intensity. I was fluctuating between 196 and 194 for 1 month. This month already I am down to 192. I currently intake 1,000 calories a day with an additional 100 - 200 calories on HIIT and weight lifting days. -
It has been awhile since my last status update. Sorry. I have been busy with work and working out. I am now up to 6 days a week. 2 Cardio Days, 1 extremely light cardio day, 2 strength training days and 1 HIIT day.
I know it seems like a lot however, my light cardio day is just me riding a bike around without trying to break a sweat lol.
Sunday: Light Cardio (Ride Bike to Work)
Monday: Strength Training - Lower Body & Core
Tuesday: Cardio - 30/30 Medium Intensity
Wednesday: Strength Training - Upper Body & Core
Thursday: 30/30 Medium Intensity
Friday: HIIT
Saturday: Rest
I have made some smalls workout gains. I can do lunges with 10lbs weights in each hand. I am do reverse lunges with bar using 20lbs of weight. I can leg press 90lbs (which is shocking. I thought since I was heavier and my legs had to move more weight, I would be able to leg press more weight
). I can do squats with 25lbs now.
My booty is lifting and firming up too!!!

@Newme17 Lol I hope so. I my goal is adding more weight to my workouts each week. I want to get progressively better and I do not want to get comfortable with my workouts.
We all have that phase when we do not want to go to the gym. We are either way too busy, tired or just burnt out. I usually take a 2 day break and then go back at it again.
I will post as a reminder but I do not think your slacking. I your tired. You have a lot to take care of and some times you need a break. Also, you are working out by doing the challenge. That still counts.

Surgery t-minus 5 hrs
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to chica320's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@chica320 First thing. Good luck!! Second, do not worry about Aunt Flo. She does not affect your surgery. She may make the recovery a little bit more uncomfortable but hey!! That is what pain killers are for. -
When did your appetite return post op?
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to chiara's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is only during that time of the month to do I crave or even have an appetite. Most times, I am having to remember if I ate or not. -
Congratulations and Good luck!!!
