You look incredible! How often do you work out/ what do you do?

Thank you. I started out just walking. I did that 7 days a week. At least 20 mins a day. Then once I got to 197, I started lifting weights. Jillian Michaels is a god to me. I started with her 30 day shred, then ripped in 30, then hard body and now back to Ripped in 30. I do one week on of circuit training and cardio and one week off just cardio. I exercise 5-6 days a week. I will be going down to 3-4 days a week. I need to keep it realistic. I'm a mom of 2, I run a household and go to nursing school full time. So exercising 5-6 days a week is not realistic. I started at 270. Surgery was 2/25/13. As of today I'm 168.

Thank you!! I exercise, use baby oil on my skin, drink a lot of Water. Lifting weights is most important. This is the second time I have lost a massive amount of weight. First time in 2006 I lost 200 lbs in 18 months. Plus I had a baby 14 months ago. So exercise has been key. I had practice with my Lapband. I learned my lesson.

Ppl mostly feel like they look sick because your not use to seeing yourself that small but my advice is get down at least 10 pound under what you really wanna be .. I decide to let my sleeve lead 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.
