3 months sleeved!!

[kellyw74 258]

So tomorrow is my 3 month sleeveversary!! WOO HOO. I wanted to give an update on my progress to everyone and my RED VELVET's!!

As of tomorrow, I can officially have a "regular" diet and eat anything I wish. Within reason of course. Just meaning, nothing is off limits like before. I am soooo looking forward to having a salad and have bought all my stuff for it!! YAY!

I have done really well. I have not had any nausea or vomiting. Have not overeaten or felt ill from eating and am happy about that. I actually undereat my sleeve for fear of this!! I exercise daily and eat according to my plan. As of today, I have lost 95lbs!! WOOP. 40lbs since surgery 3 months ago and 55lbs pre-op!!

I have gone from 280 to 185 and a 43.2 bmi to a 28.1!!! I have not taken my bp or diabetic medication since one week after surgery and my blood sugars are in the 80-90's daily!! I am soooo happy about that.

I went from a 22/24 clothing size and now wear a loose 12. I really can't say enough good things about my sleeve. I love it!

I would love to hear how my Red Velvet's and other's are doing!!!

Congratulations! I'm a few days behind the Red Velveters: I'll be at 3 months on the 17th.

Your numbers are amazing! Would you mind sharing what a typical day of food and exercise looks like for you?

Thanks,

Thanks!!

I am supposed to eat 1/2 c three times a day right now, but I can not do that. When I do, I only consume around 300-400 calories and that does not work for me!

So, I eat my three meals and a snack or two depending on my calorie count for the day. I use my fitness pal to track my calories, but really that is all I pay attention to. I don't count carbs at all.

B- 2-2.5 oz Protein (chicken, fish, trukey burger) or scrambled/boiled egg

S-Light cheese stick

L- 2-2.5 oz Protein (tuna, chicken, trukey, meatballs, lunchmeat)

S- 1 oz. Jerky or 1oz nuts or pure Protein shake or bar

D- 2-2.5 oz protein (salmon, steak, tri-tip, chicken) a couple green Beans.

I rarely can eat all my meat at meal times. I can eat more steak and fish than chicken. I have not eaten any "bad carbs" rice, bread, Pasta, etc. I have had a couple bites of baked yams and some cooked veggies, but that is about it. I do not eat sweets at all.

I exercise pretty much everyday. I walk mostly at a very fast pace about 3-4 miles. I try to keep my calories between 750-850 daily.
