When I posted in January, I was 219 and as of this morning am now 194!! I am so excited. Also, I have learned quit alot along the way. I have pretty much tried to be a low carber but have learned through trial and error that it really doesn't matter what you eat (carbs included) that the main focus is to get in 60-80 grams (or more) of Protein and drink you Water. I know it says to drink at least 64 oz a day but I lose best when I drink at least 80 oz or more (10 cups). I have tried this and it is really working for me. I know that everyone is different but that is the water intake that my body requires to continually lose weight. I also shoot for at least 73 grams of protein a day. ( I was given this number when taking the class to get the surgery. I was asked what my goal weight was and was told that 73 grams was the amount I needed to get to my goal weight which is 135. I hope that this will help others out there struggling to figure all of this out. It took me a long while to understand what they meant when they say eat your protein first and then you can have whatever you want. Now I get it!! Congrats to everyone on their weight loss journey. This truly has changed my life!!

I was sleeved 10/1 and down 45lbs. I am a slow looser and learning to except that. I work out 4-5 days a week and try to track what I eat even though my Nut doesn't want me to. I tolerate everything including sweets. I am in a stage now that I don't like meat or fish very much and I am learning to deal with that. I have been enjoying more Beans and I eat a ton of eggs. I have another 55lbs to lose and it probably will take the whole year of not longer. I know my resting heart rate has improved and my heart rates during workouts are not off the charts. I am not perfect and some days are better than others. We are moving from Latin America to Virginia in a few months so my stress level will increase. I just try to take each day and not beat myself up.

This has been one wild ride! If anyone had told me so much could change in FIVE months, I never would have believed them. My only complication was a stricture that I had repaired at about 3 mos and they also diagnosed me with Celiac's Disease, so no gluten for me! I'm off my fibromyalgia medicine and my CPAP machine, which leaves me taking only my Topamax and my vitamins/supplements. I hate shopping, but as most of us have figured out, it's a necessary evil. My biggest NSVs have been wearing actual blue jeans and sitting in restaurant booths again!

I have loved reading everyone's updates. I look forward to reading more!

I'm so happy some of the slower losers have posted because we all seem to be so quiet about our slow/average weight loss. I went back to weighing once a week and counting calories. SW-260 ish and my CW-212. I'm down almost 50 pounds from surgery. I thought I would be down more but I could of never of done this without the sleeve.
