I am one month out and here is a before and after

[grandmaofone 411]

I have not had a hard time with anything except drinking the Protein Shakes, I have not drank them since a few days after surgery. I am eating just about anything I want(no seeds, or nuts) I just finished up my fifth workout at the gym and have so much energy!!!

How did you guys deal with hunger and not using food as comfort in those first weeks?

[The Candidate 3,215]

Wonderful jobs guys! You look great!

[grandmaofone 411]

Akh98, in the first few weeks you take about 3-5 bites and you are full, now I eat two meals a day and a snack if needed. I can see only eat about 1/4 cup or less depending on what I am eating. When I work out now I burn more calories than I eat in the entire day:) good luck!

When did you make the first trip to the gym? I'm getting sleeved in 11 days and have been so excited but now I'm getting really nervous! I'm at 223 lbs but have had back issues and torn plantar tendon that are just now starting to get better. I want to jump right in and I know it's got to be natural to have this anxiety so close to surgury. By the way, great job!

That's so awesome!! The only advice I can give you is make sure you're getting in your Protein if you're not drinking shakes. Your hair will begin thinning out. The best I have found that taste like chocolate milk is Monster Muscle Milk. Not only does it have protein but also gives me energy!! Good luck and keep reaching for your goals!!

It was at about 2 1/2 weeks, my hubby can bring a guest with his membership and I have been going three times a week so far.

I have also had back surgery, L5 taken partially out and didn't have any problems. Good Luck!!
