Finally got my Surgery date... YAY for me!

[JimmyGotSLEEVED 270]

I went to see my surgeon thus morning and after hours of waiting, due to the high volume number of patients and the shortage o staff, he finally gave me a date! I'm utterly excited, after months i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, Change is coming and I'm excited to meet and greet her!

Doc said it mandatory that i get down to 300lb FIRST though, before my next visit which will be in a month... any ideas on how i can lose some weight? (already seeing my nutritionist, but I'm looking for Sleeve community assistance, who better to help you than the people who are going or went through it already)... feel free to leave suggestions and comments. I'm all ears like Dumbo!

Hi! Congrats on finally getting your date. I am scheduled to have mines on 9/19.

How much weight do you need to loose in one month....15 lbs?

Two words: Kettlebell Swings.

I'm doing drop sets of 20, four times a week until my surgery on the 23rd.

And for a professional-level arse kickin'

Tabata Kettlebell Swings

Take said kettlebell (25-35lb) and proceed to swing it for 20 seconds

Rest for ten seconds

Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 rounds (4 minutes)

Do NOT underestimate the simplicity: the wet pool left on the floor is your sweat
