achopp 0 Posted May 10, 2010 Hey all, I got on the scale tonight to find I'm down 42 pounds from the day I started my pre-op diet on 3/16! I almost can't believe it! Tomorrow will be 6 weeks post-op for me and I have not one regret on getting this surgery. Compared to all of the diets I've tried and failed on in the past, the last 6 weeks with the sleeve have been so easy! I finally feel like a normal person who doesn't think about food all of the time. I have been very diligent on tracking every calorie, carb, and gram of Protein since surgery, but I've been so-so with exercising. My goal for the next 6 weeks is to work out six days a week so I can keep this downward scale momentum going! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatcurves 3 Posted May 10, 2010 OH wow, that is so exciting and I am so happy this is going so well for you. Your post just lifted up my funky cloud hovering over my head. Geez wed isnt coming soon enough. Keep it up and make sure to exercise. Be careful going 6 days a week just so you dont burn your self out. I always tell my friend who gets uber into working out with me, DONT KILL YOUR SELF otherwise you will not be able to come in tomorrow and that should be your only goal, just be consistant. I might start at 3 or four days a week so when you hit a plateau, you have some thing you can change like stepping it up. ANYWAYS, congrats and keep us posted.

mommaof4yoopers 3 Posted May 10, 2010 Andrea, great job! I wish I was diligent with tracking. I am two weeks ahead of you and did notice my body shape and skin changing with exercise. Seemed to rebound along with the weight loss, so I definitely think you're on the right track! We are doing really well! I, too, am from Michigan... but of the Upper Peninsula variety. Currently in Georgia but do return every summer. Good luck and thanks for the inspiration to get back to tracking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 10, 2010 That's awesome! Good for you. I'm only 12 days out but haven't started exercising yet...still a little tender. by the time I get home from work, I'm pretty exhausted too....waiting for the energy level to pick up a bit.
