Doing well occasional nausea in the morning when I get up. Other than that still eating tiny portions about and ounce or an ounce and a half of some sort of meat for Protein and I am done. Supplementing Protein Drinks because I cannot get enough protein from eating. Hoping to be down another 20 or 25 pounds by vacation time

December 2nd going to Vegas.

Still here and happy. I was up early this morning doing the Biggest Loser video with Bob Harper on Youtube. It was awesome! the first one is only 16 minutes but it is good. The second one uses weights and I am going to try that one tomorrow morning. I have to be very careful with this arthritis in my knees. I am a bit lazy when it comes to exercising so I decided that I was at least going to do it on the weekends. sometimes the pain in my knees deters me but I have to keep it moving. I am also depending on at least one Protein drink or bar a day. I like the Pure Protein Bars. I have my 2 month check-in on Monday and I hope to be in the 250s and my BP will be low. We are over at the August Post Op board.

Later losers!

Hi! Sleeved by Dr. alejandro lopez in Puerto Vallarta on August 13, 2014. I'm down 51 pounds, tons of inches and am feeling WONDERFUL since being able to start back to cardio and strength training with Jazzercise on Oct. 1 (just took a "Dancing Abs" class during my lunch break today). I have been Jazzercising every weekday and walking and doing yard work on the weekends--getting stronger and stronger every day. I've been taking my multi-vitamins and Calcium chews religiously and getting a weekly B-12 shot. I haven’t had sugar, processed foods, carbs (other than a few veggies and berries), carbonated drinks or alcohol in over 10 weeks. Woooo-hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on keepin’ on y’all!

Still here. As of October 20th, I am down 30 pounds since surgery. YAY! I am finally in the 250's. I don't recall ever seeing that number. I did have my run-ins with fried chicken(chicken skin) a few times. But only one piece which would last me like 3 meals. I am very disappointed in myself for that. I mean, I did not allow these to cut on me only to fail. It is very hard being the only one in the house that is trying to eat right and I do all the cooking. I just have to keep pushing on to the next day.

Anyway, I have a new found love, BUTTERNUT SQUASH!. OMGoodeness! I love this stuff for real. No sugar needed at all. I just put a pat of butter on my serving(1/4 cup if I can eat it all) and it is gold. I am also addicted to Allrecipes.com. I am constantly looking up there for sleeve friendly meals and would love to try them all, lol.

Still exercising and loving the fact that don't feel like I am having a heart attack while doing it. I am able to go from the basement to the second floor non-stop, YAY! I also noticed that I am waking up crazy early in the morning. I mean, 4:30 a.m. I finally made me a little list of my Vitamins and pinned it on the fridge. As I take my meds, I just mark it off. I tend to forget about the ones that I have to take twice a day. It really helps me. I finally got it down. I am still drinking my Protein shakes, it helps with the sweet tooth. I just drink them as a snack. I am still having probelms with my BP, BOOOOOO! I have an appointment with my PCP next Thursday and hopefully it will be better and I will be in the 240's.

I hope that everyone is still striving to reach their goal, no matter how long it takes. We are still in the beginning of this race and it will take time. As long as I am still losing, I am happy.

Keep losing losers! Later!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
