Wanted to share with my friends here...

My six week followup was today. I was so happy to see how happy the doctor and his staff was with my progress. My nutritionist was also blown away by my daily Protein, calorie, and carb intake sans shakes. I am down 42 pounds since December 1 and 26 since my surgery date of December 14.

I am clear to add strength training and running to my current exercise routine. And, best of all, I get to add fresh fruit and raw veggies again. I ran to Whole Foods to buy blueberries, blackberries, and asparagus just after the visit!:laugh0:

Way to go sleeve sister!

I'm at a 28 pound loss (I think). I wasn't weighed the day of surgery so can't be positive. I'm using the last weight I knew of before I left for my trip to Mexico.

You're doing great!

Twobluecats, this is a great report to read. My program doesn't allow Protein Shakes or supplements but wants us to get all of our Protein requirements from food. I'd love to read about what you eat over the course of a day or two. Do you post your food anywhere?

Thanks! I post on myfitnesspal.com. If you sign up and "friend" me then I think you can see my daily journal of food.
