Just follow everything the doctor says and exercise I try to work out at least 5-6 days a week. It really sped up the process for me! Good luck! I'm so happy for you, you'll do great!

You look great! I had surgery Oct 3 in Mexico with Dr. Cabrera (awesome), just over 5 mths ago. My starting wt: 350 CW: 227 I am 5ft3. I have alot of loose skin and am trying to keep extra hydrated to help with that. I do 30 min cardio and 40 min resistance bands. YOU LOOK AWESOME. I also am curious as to what exercises you are doing and other things to skin looking good.[emoji109][emoji109][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

I definitely plan on working out often. I lost 110lbs before with just diet and exercise, but I just don't feel like I can do it again on my own. What kind of workouts do you do? I used to do 45min cardio and weights alternating arms and legs each day.

This is so awesome! Congrats! And thanks for the motivation:) I feel like I'm looking into my future! I had the sleeve done 1/31/17 and just had my 2nd post op follow up Appt and I'm down 33lbs since surgery putting me at 53lbs overall in about two months. I'm a polynesian dancer so I do hardcore cardio workouts with my team two hours twice a week and go to the gym 3-4 times a week. You look fantastic!!!

You look great! I'm scheduled for 2 weeks from tomorrow. What type of exercise are you doing? I plan on spinning for my cardio, but the nearest gym I have is an hour away and so the strength training is what I'm concerned about. Any suggestions and what do you do for strength training?

I lift every day, not heavy lifting though. I take 10 pound weights and do all different types of arm workouts, squats and leg presses for my legs.. and much more.

      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.
