Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 21, 2014 So for those, say either 4 months out or about 50 lbs. down – I have a suggestion: think of the things you are going to do today or did this morning that you would not have been able to do, or do without discomfort, etc. – and share them!!!! Let’s give our brave new pre and post sleeve brethren some NSV’s to look forward to! <3 6 Gr8fulMiniMe, katesuccess, #9grammy and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fullofitx3 146 Posted June 21, 2014 1- wake up early before the alarm feeling well rested and no cpap machine. 2- packing lunch and Snacks for work (10hr days) 3- go to gym during lunch break and enjoy getting in a 30-45 workout in. 4- not worrying about next meal. There is so much more that I can't even think of, I enjoy being active everyday, my only regret is not during this sooner. 3 katesuccess, ProudGrammy and ready2Bslim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to add that since I lost a lot of weight that I'm now getting involved in more active social events, joined an adult kickball league, played for the first time last night and it was a blast also plan on joining the men's basketball league even though I suck at basketball.
