6 weeks Post Op

I have lost 23 lbs since surgery!!! I am very happy with my progress so far. I was a little disappointed but then took a step back and realized how much weight that was in such a short time. For the first time in my life I want time to go by fast just for the next year. I am almost in the 250's and I am so happy. My first goal is 249 so I am just waiting for the day!!! I haven't seen that amount on the scale for years.

Exercise is going well started walking 5x's a week and strenght training 3 days a week. I love working out and I feel crappy when I don't. I really want a bicycle but I will wait till spring of 2014.

Food wise I am still on Meat, Cheese and Eggs only. I can introduce veggies back at 2 months. 1/2 cup per day. I am looking forward to that but they did warn me that the weigh loss will slow down due to the added carbs from the veggies. So I don't have to add them back every day or at all if I don't want too.

I am down into a size 1x shirt and I haven't checked on pants yet , i know they are getting very loose but not enough to fall off and have to go to a smaller size.

Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am so excited to see the 250's on my scale.

I am 6 weeks out as well. I was sleeved on 7/22. I loose about 1lb per day or every other day. I am dying to get to 199 and I am currently 205. I have a group of women called Sleeve Sisters on FB that I am a part of as well as this group. The FB group is much easier to navigate. Let me know if you are interested. singhalong6975@yahoo.com
