Well after posting this topic yesterday, i went home and began giving my 4 yr old daughter a bath when suddenly she looked at me and said," Mommy, Youre little!" lol. I was soooo surprised and super excited at the same time. I know i cant look the same if my 4 yr old noticed.

Well i am working out about 4 times a week not including twice a day on the weekends. I really am trying so hard to tighten and tone my body as much as possible. and i am training for the la marathon in march. I just try to keep my body moving really.

NOT A BIG PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. LOL. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I HOPE I CAN FEEL THIS WAY ONE DAY TOO.

that helps alot. Thank you!

Go Girl!

so i have lost 82 lbs total including pre-op and post op. i am 5 weeks out. i was a size 24 and 333 lbs at the beginning and today i am 251 lbs and a size 18/20. i get lots of compliments about my progress and every one says i look great and i feel great too but i dont feel like i look 82 pounds smaller. its weird, i know but when i compare body pictures, its very difficult for me to see. Can anyone understand?

2 WEEKS AFTER,

Thank you! I use the all of the actual weight training machines but not the free weights like dumbells and all that. I just start off with 30 lbs then increase is about every other week or as i feel ready. It has to be enough weight that i feel a burn while completing a set. it cant be too easy! keep challenging your self and become comfortable with being uncomfortable. and even when i cant make it to the gym, i do jillian michaels workout dvds at home. Keep it moving! but make sure you eat a protein shake or bar or something before and after you work out or you will feel terrible! never workout on an empty stomach.

typically i begin with 20 minutes of cardio (elliptical, bike, treadmill with incline) then i begin my weight training for 40 minutes and that includes doing 3-4 sets on each weight training machine. a set includes 10 repetitions on each machine. i usually do 3-4 sets on each machine. i hope this helps!

im 4 weeks post op saturday and im down 54 lbs but i stay excercising! yoga, treadmill, bike ride, weight training etc i keep it moving! Of course im 27, but still just try to stay in motion

3 weeks.

im 4 weeks post op and im on to soft foods and ive learned to basically make a plate big enough for a baby and thats pretty much my portion size. it couldnt be any easier

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Dont forget that when if the scale isnt moving that doesnt mean youre not losing weight because thats when our bodies lose inches. Thats why you went down a notch on your belt. Stay encouraged!

i will be 4 weeks post op on saturday and im down 44 lbs. Im sooo loving my sleeve!

Text me!!!! I lost your number in my old phone!!!

depends on what your doctor's orders include. Mine suggested liquids for 3 weeks following surgery then 3 weeks of soft foods then full solids. I would stick to soups (strained, no chunks). Be easy with your new little tummy. Congrats!!

I love PF Too!!! i guess the simplicity of the club is the best part and keeps it from become too over crowded and unruly. I love their motto as well and it seems like a very down to earth place. ive been a member since 2011.

yay!!!

I was sleeved at Fountain Valley Hospital. I had a good experience. Only thing that was kind of annoying was that they dont offer a couch or anything for your guest who plan to stay over night to sleep on and let me tell you, those chairs are not comfortable according to my mom. and also the staff can be loud so bring some ear plugs.But everything else was great! Good luck darling.
