livvsmum 2,369 Posted March 27, 2014 I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen. You look great woman! What was your start weight? My starting weight the day I started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet was 278.4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted March 27, 2014 any recommendations on how to be as successful as you? Sorry it took me so long to reply! I would say the key for me has been sticking to the "basics".... I do no more than 30-40g of carbs per day, at least 60g of Protein, and 80-100 oz of Water. That keeps me feeling full and satisfied for the most part. I also started running and I really enjoy that. :-) Good luck! 1 Butter Britches reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdocforce 55 Posted April 1, 2014 Inspirational...seriously. I'm about 6 mos and just crossed the 70 lb mark. I don't think I have any conscious memory of being 24 pounds from a weight goal in my entire adult life. It really is quite surreal for me. I am challenged by exercise, I have always loved it, but I have other priorities now, like my babies (2 y/o and 1 y/o). I am relatively active and I did complete a 5 k almost jogging the entire thing in March 2014. But your pics really are an eye opener, I wanted to congratulate you on such a profound transformation, you must feel amazing. I'm gonna keep working on the exercise, I want to be a good example for my babies too. Another 5 K is coming up in May...maybe I will be able to run the whole thing this time. Thanks for your info and the sharing of what you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The training is hard, but every time I complete a run I feel amazing. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iambeautiful 100 Posted April 2, 2014 @livvsmum what has been your diet post op.... once you could have regular food. I'm just curious and ask this to the ones that have lost a lot of weight so fast like you. It seems the general consensus has been to stick to Protein and veggies and limit carbs...... I pretty much try to do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
