[Frza 194]

Surgery date: 8/31

Starting: 218 at surgery (225 before pre op diet)

Current: 196

Eating:

I get about 700 cals / day and always focus on Protein. Usually have a Protein Shake & supplements (fiber, probiotic, CoQ 10) for Breakfast. Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for snack. lunch is usually left overs from dinner or Soup. Afternoon snack is beec Jerky ir almonds. Dinner is chicken, fish, shrimp or crab. I haven't tried beef, pork, sweets or bread yet. I have not had any food upset my stomach but something's make me really full too fast.

Hubger: I have not experienced physical hunger since surgery but do get cravings for things.

Excercise: I walk 45 min daily, do free weights for arms 3x week, hike on the weekends and swim here and there. I plan to start jogging as soon as I'm cleared to do so (12 weeks).

Physical: I feel great. Never experienced any pain, nausea, committing or fatigue after surgery.

Emotional: I feel good! Haven't had any sadness or depression, just excitement about the future!

Overall I am very glad I had this done. Te most valuable aspect has been regaining control over my very disordered eating. I felt hopeless before. I can feel that the cycle has been broken, now it's up to me to create good lifelong habits that will keep me healthy.

Extra: I would like to recommend an excellent book to all of you. It called 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg. It's a fascinating read and has really helped me learn what's at the core of changing our habits. Very interesting book!

Very happy I did the surgery. I lost 14 lbs the first 2 weeks and since then I have lost 2 lbs a week (exactly) I keep hoping for a 3 to 4 lb week but it hasn't happened.

Emotionally good. Going to Las Vegas with some girlfriends next weekend and worried about being in a prolonged social environment. The not drinking thing is going to suck.

I was very happy to start a box of clothes that are to big last night.

I was glad to see an August update pop up. Thanks for sharing everyone.

[NotsoSlimShady 19]

Preop diet @373 on aug 7.

Sleeved on aug 28 @341

Currently @305

I have a shake with 30 grams of Protein for Breakfast and then usually a salad with meat or half a Protein Bar for lunch. For dinner just usually 1/2 cup of whatever my wife and kids are having, with meat usually first. snack is usually cheese, Jerky, or a couple of crackers here or there.

I am always hungry and it can get pretty frustrating. I'm trying to achieve my goal in a manner that i believe can be lifelong....so i'm not really avoiding specific foods. If i want something, including a occasional drink....i have one.

I do cardio at least 3 times a week and weight training at least 3 as well. I'm pretty happy about being sleeved...i just wished it curbed my hunger even half as much as i thought it would

Date sleeved: 8/31/12

Start weight: 220

Weight today: 188

What you eating and how much daily: I eat about 500 calories and 45-50 grams of Protein.< /span>

Daily work out: no way, I am completely totally exhausted ALL THE TIME.

How hungry are you?: Not at all most of the time.

How you feel emotionally: Okay, just want rest.

Are you glad you chose the sleeve?: Yes, I could never have lost 32 pounds like this without it.

Anything extra to say?: I feel like I am searching for the magic combination of things that will perk me up. I've never been this tired, as the past week. I think once I work this out it will be easier to be happier. I am searching for more energy. I am amazed that people are exercising at this stage. I walked around the block once, I picked up the lawn once. both times I was so tired I had to sit down for awhile.

[OFFTHEFENCE 2]

I was sleeved August 31st.

Started at 194

Now am 166

I am walking now, but now that I am 6 weeks out I need to do more since I have been stuck at 166 for almost 3 weeks.

I do get hungry, but just a small amount of food satisfies me.

I feel great! I am wondering how I function on such a low calorie intake, but I have great energy.

I am so glad I did this. I went out to dinner last night and have leftovers for two days.
