3 Month Sleeve-versary

[miss_smiles 192]

Hey all! So it has been 3 months since having the sleeve. I was just wondering where everyone is in terms of weight loss, exercise, eating, emotionally, socially, confidence wise, etc. Essentially how are you doing?!

.........;​Hi Miss. I am 4 months & 50 lbs and quite happy. I am very active socially....eating out and with friends homes is challenging but completely do-able because I can only eat 2-3 tablespoons of whatever. I avoid carbs & sugars totally. I think that is the secret to this whole thing....plus some exercise. I do the gym thing 2-3 times a week only (chair aerobics & stationary bike ). At age 74 I am pretty sure that's enough considering both my knees have been replaced.. I have great support and encouragement from both friends and family. ... Good luck to you.​

Me too. I had my sleeve March 22. Exercise is great, Im back to weight lifting and walk/jog. I feel pretty energized. In the beginning I was having buyers remorse bc of the soreness but its gone away now so Im good. Eating better and healthier is a must bc my stomach just wont tolerate the bad food anymore. The only thing that was frustrating was I went on a date and I could only eat the 2-3 tablespoons and I was full. My date was like thats it, and I was so embarrassed. But other than that, so far so good. I cant give you a number bc in the past the scale has been discouraging, but Ive gone from a 22W to a 18W and Im well on my way to a 16W.

I am 60 days out today and I have lost about 30 lbs. I am having difficulty eating enough since I'm just not hungry. I have to remind myself that my body needs fuel. Some days I have to have a shake at night as well as for Breakfast to hit my Protein number.

If my husband and I do go out, I order something small that I CAN have and then he doesn't order as much because he eats most of whatever I get.

Although I am the only one who had surgery, we are a team. I have a fantastic support system between my husband and family. For family gatherings, I bring chicken so I know that there is something that I will be able to eat and I can share the chicken with those who don't want burgers and hot dogs. My family is really great about not bugging me to eat more. They know that I just can't fit it in.

I haven't really done a lot for exercise yet, but I want to. I just need to find the right thing for me. That is the hardest part of this whole thing. Getting moving again. I know it will happen, I just have to make it happen.
