I am 9 1/2 months out. I do 70 carbs a day. I still lose 2 pounds a week still. It's all in what kind, how much exercise you do and what your body wants. There is NO WAY I could do my hour a day workouts on 20 carbs. You will be able to feel what is right for your body.

I am 3 months out, I do 800 calories a day, atleast 60 gram Protein, no more than 70 carbs. I'm losing 3-5 pounds a week. I do atleast 5 hours of cardio and strength training a week As well.

Squats and lunges will help some. My legs look much better since I started doing them with my workout. But it's taken months.

Nothing is going to help untill you get some help for your eating issues. Maybe some counseling? Something is making you still want to eat. The sleeve is just a physical tool. If there are some emotional issues as to why you eat they aren't going to go away overnight.
Good luck on this journey. And a wise woman once told me, take out the ONLY. I have lost 52 pounds in 5 months! That is still 10 pounds a month! A huge accomplishment!

I am 9 months out. I could eat a lot more carbs at the beginning than I can now. I'm with butterthebean. I would take the first 6 months and let your body adjust and eat les carbs, then start adding more in the closer you get to goal. I really think you lose more weight with carbs lower on the glycemic index. Fruits veggies whole wheats.

I would go with the Xbox Kinect. I enjoy it better and actually feel I get a workout. My daughter and I do the wii just for fun. Most places actually have a special now 250 for the Xbox and Kinect. (Started my Christmas shopping noticed all the good deals :-) )

Do you have cable? They have tons of free workout MoVies on demand! I used to do Sweatin to the Oldies with my mom. It was fun
If I was going to invest in some DVDs I would do Power 90. It is the first DVD set in the beach body series (creators of P90X) everyone I have ever talked about them say you get a great burn and see results.

Don't knock the Richard Simmon's DVD's. They give a good 50 minute workout that burns hundreds of calories in the privacy of your own home, and most of the participants are overweight, and it really helps to see them be able to get through the dance workout, and know you probably can too. They are a fun way to dance away the pounds. (Pre-zumba generation)

If he is selling them in his office, he is getting a cut of the action. Needless to say, never buy stuff out of the Dr office. Same thing goes for hair salons ... know what I mean?

I am disgusted by the people who have been sleeved and are rude/disrectful to or about their significant other. My DH isn't overweight so maybe it is harder to understand, but most of our spouses loved us at our heaviest. Mine told me he loved me no matter what I weighed. Told me I was beautiful no matter how down I was feeling about myself. Never EVER said a word about what I ate, how much, how often, nothing. Just loved me unconditionally, knowing how much I was already struggling, how much I was hating myself, he would never add to it with comments.
Who would I be, what kind of person to be mean to them, or rude about what they are eating after my surgery. when a few months ago I was right there with them, or still would be without my sleeve. They deserve the same they gave us, unconditional love.

I do that workout every Sunday. I think it's helping my muscle tone And my leg strength. It takes about 15 minutes but I'm sweating hard core when I'm done. I started at 50 but made it up to 100 after a few weeks.

I'm not saying its a good idea to get one at this early time, but go to Bob Evans when tou do get one. Much better tasting and healthier than KFC. They are made fresh daily. I had a few bites of one for lunch today. Also remember chicken first :-D don't want to fill up on crust.

okay Im going to do it.....the rudeness of this topic overwhelms me.....so yes I guess I am being as judgemental as the majority of you on this postt...
Really.... escuse me.... if it were not for the sleeve...most of us would still be licking KFC grease off of our fingers...as at matter of fact...I have a feeling some of you are doing behind close doors...(wait that was accusatory so im sorry).
How dare we look at anyone and make judgement, feel ill or what ever....damn did you not wear those same moccasins.....
all i can say is simply this....stand in the mirror....oh skinny one....point at the figure in the mirror....then notice those 3 fingers pointing right back at you....
God forbid someone talks about the skin that will sag around our bellies....or the thinning of our hair that may take place....
I found that those who frown upon others are still quite miserable themselves.....
Wait a minute is this how we Celebrate the few pounds already lost.....
whew... now I can stop judging yalll (LOL)
