6 month post op updates?

[pughma 51]

I've lost 72 lbs. since having gastric sleeve surgery in June of 2017. These are the changes I've made this year. I no longer drink carbonated beverages. I don't eat bread, Pasta, rice, tortillas or chips. I rarely indulge on alcohol or sugar. I only eat from a very small bowl or small dessert plate, using a teaspoon. I drink two Protein Shakes a day. I track all my food intake and activity. I am finding new ways to be fit. I recently started training for a 5k, and added weights back into rotation. Surgery is only a tool. It takes constant effort to lose and maintain weight. While I'm far from the end of this journey, my overall health and well-being have improved dramatically and I am ever so greatful to have my life back again!

Great progress!! You look amazing! Good thing you are traming your meals and cutting down your carbs/sugars/alcohol.. I hope you reach your weight goal soon. Happy holidays! 👌

Thank you. I'm hoping to lose about 30 or so more lbs. Keeling it off will be the challenge.

I know..the last 35-30 pounds are a killer and though to lose, they seem to be atrached to us LOL. I am actuallu increasing workouts and have more core workouts....

[pughma 51]

Good luck! Each 10 lb. increment has gotten significantly harder. I just take frequent pictures and I watch my weight trend graphs for motivation. We can compare again in a few months.
