95 Lbs So Far...

[Fiddleman 4,376]

I have lost 95 lb from 335 lb on july 2nd and have gone from a size 48 to a size 38 pant size.

It has been a lot of work to eat cleanly, take supplements, drink enough and get the daily exercise in. Weight loss is definitely slowing down, but that just means I need to up the workout intensity.

Goal is 60 more lbs to go and also to have a muscular body.

Feels good to be back in the 38s...

Now at 4.5 months, at 115 lbs. most weight was lost during the first 2 months. 5-12 lbs lost in month 3 and 4.

The best advice I can offer new sleeves:

1. Follow your doctors plan

2. If you have a NUT, listen well and follow your NUTs plan.

3. Do not give into temptation. It will get easier after a few weeks.

4. Drink as much Water as possible all day when not eating. I try and hit 125 oz a day. Sometimes I get too busy and do not, but I try.

5. Eat as much Protein that your body can successfully process. I eat up to 150 grams a day, averaging about 125 grams daily.

6. Eat as few carbs as possible. I try and get under 20 grams daily.

7. Eat as little fat as possible. I don't really track this, but do try and minimize it.

8. Take supplements daily. I take a bunch mainly because I rarely eat veggies and do not eat fruit. For example, c, d, fish oil, Calcium, Multivitamin, b50 complex B12. Vitamin c helps with absorption so I take extra around eating.

9. Exercise at least an hour a day. If not cleared for cardio or weights, walk a lot. For example I walked 4 times a day which added up to 3-4 hours. Start slow and build up your endurance, speed and hills. I still walk about an hour a day with my dog mainly out of enjoyment on top of my exercise program. I try and exercise effectively for 45 min to 1 hour a day. I do some weight training, but am still working on that.

10. sleep 7-8 hours minimum. Even though this is 10, it is super important. If sleeping enough, your body is happy and the weight melts off, often without a lot of exercise. If you don't sleep enough, your body stresses out and olds onto fat, sort of a fit or flight response all the time. It is not healthy and will also lead to irritability, stressing out,etc.

11. Eat a super food supplement. These are super rich in antioxidants, fruit, greens and Probiotics. I mix in 1 small scoop a day from GNC. It is not the best tasting, but I am doing it for health.

12. Get regular. Constipation and blockage is not only uncomfortable, but slows down your metabolism, marine a car engine full of gunk. It is not going to run optimally. The same applies to your digestive track. You will feel 1000 x better and have a million x more energy if your digestive track is clear of gunk.

I do not find it very difficult to follow the guidelines. However, expect that it may take a few weeks to develop good habits post op.

Hope this helps.
