Hello all. Happy holidays. Just doing a follow up. I was sleeved 5/29/15. Pre surgery weight 345 SW 320 CW 200. My Dr told me my goal would be 225 but I passed that in the first 6 months. It was easy losing. The hard part is maintaining but I'm trying my best. It's just important to surround yourself with positive people and unfortunately at times we have to let go of some relationships because of their lack of respect. Hope everyone is doing well. You're welcome to ask any question. I'm in NYC if there are any locals for chatting. attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1480517560.368382.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1480517578.533849.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1480517592.916627.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1480517607.084495.jpg

Can you go into detail about your exercise regimen?

Hi. I started the gym 3 months after surgery due to the gym being built in my area. Prior to that I did a lot of walking. Once I started the gym I did a lot of walking and treadmill and stationary bike. After that I did weights but kept the weight low just to tone only. I did increase the weights but unfortunately I started bulking up and increased my weight base on muscle mass. I'm going back to cardio and tone to lose the 10 lbs I gained in muscle. I also used a waist slimmer and neoprene suit to increase the sweat. I also used a product called "it works" for cellulite which does work on my stomach. I was surprised it did.

If you need more info let me know.

You look great! I have a lot of bodybuilding friends and they would be seriously jealous of your nice calves :P

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
