Wow you all look AMAZING. I was sleeved on the 6th November and down 93lbs. 15lbs to goal. I still look in the mirror and see the same person but I think that's because I never realised how big how I was. I have had two people recently who do not recognise me. Makes me sad! My pics are attached - the after pic is from 6 weeks ago, so not super recent. keep up the good work everyone :)

Sleeved Nov. 12/12, start weight 330(Oct. 30), surgery weight 311(Nov. 12) current weight 203. feeling fantastic and healthy for the first time in years. Looking forward to being a healthy Grandma for my first grandbaby arriving in July. I found out about him the day after getting home from surgery and it seemed like a sign that I had made the right decision about my WLS. I don't think I could have enjoyed him as much as the new healthier me is going too:)

Hello everyone and congratulations on your success! I was sleeved November 3rd and am down 76 pounds! I just started working out this week with my collection of Jillian Michaels DVDs and I feel great! It's amazing how being smaller makes exercise much easier! Not saying it's easy by any means but I am able to get through a whole workout without stopping.

Today, everyone I came in contact with said something about my weight loss. It's really paying off!

I had a lot of people mention it this week, more than ever before. Huh.

Congrats to you! Jillian Michaels, yeah? I'm jogging with my husband, but I always thought her workouts would be too tough. How do you like them?

I like the Jillian Michaels workouts because she does circuit training and you work out two big muscles at a time. Example, squats with bicep curls. Her ripped in 30 is 3 minutes of strength training, two min cardio, and one min abs for 3 circuits. It's really hard at first but you get strong quick.

I'm a little depressed now. Everyone is doing so much better than me. I was sleeved in 11/13/12. Started at 307. Was 287 on surgery day and I'm now 230. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

How many calories is everyone doing now? What about carbs and fat grams?? Don't get me wrong, I am so happy with my progress. It's way more than what I could have done on my own!!

Congrats everyone on being so successful!!

You're doing great!

Everyone looses weight differently. We have really similar stats. I don't know my calories or carbs or fats... I keep track of my food by weighing it.

I am I no way an expert... But I try and keep my carbs at 45 and below.... Fats? I'm not counting,

I want to get 70+ grams of Protein and around 1000 calories.. Little processed food and cut out the Protein bars! They are just like candy to me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
