October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!

[outwithbenjiboi 227]

Just had 3 month checkup today. Down 45 lbs since surgery (Oct 15), and 75 since first appointment with surgeon in April -- 9 months ago. BMI is 31.6, down from 42, and I've lost 50% of my excess weight since surgery. Nut upped my calories to 1,000 from 800, and told me to eat it in Protein and carbs. My prealbimum from my blood labs was a 17 on a normal scale of 17-35, so I'm burning all of the protein I'm eating--thus the increase. I'm working out 3-5 days per week. Surgeon and Nut were both VERY happy with me, and said I was a "star patient!" Hw: 286 Sw: 256 Cw: 211 Gw: 185-165 (we'll see)

What is your excercise routine right now? I've been doing 30 minute treadmill with various inclines at 3.5mph or 30 minutes on the excercise bike then 15 minutes of weights for arms and legs then 30 minutes of moderate pace walking on the track.

Does anyone know how to get into the closed Facebook vsg group? I remember seeing it in a post a while back but i just got on the facebook bandwagon.

If anyone can point me in thr right direction, that'd be awesome.

When I was sleeved Oct 3, my heart went into A-Fib.

They gave me a cardio-vert yesterday. It was a100 % success.

I am fixed.

Down 68 pounds in last 55 weeks.
