You look wonderful!! Thank you for sharing. This is motivating!!

I just completed week 1! I even ran in he rain. In the past, I can say this surely would have not happened!!

Has anyone tried Tylenol pm? That seems to be the only thing that helps me. Other than that I'm up and if I do fall asleep I do not feel rested when I wake.

Congrats on your surgery. I would start by walking and just increase your speed as you feel comfortable.

Good for you!!! That's a wonderful accomplishment.

Hey y'all! I am not sure what has come over me but I am loving my gym time! I cant stand my back. The rolls must go. I travel so I am looking for some exercises I can work into my nightly situp/pushup routine.

Heeeey! That's wonderful!! I just started this week. Hopefully we can inspire each other.

Thank you!! I am soo excited. I slept great last night and I don't feel sore. I am treating myself to a Vtines day run again. Before I thought people were CRAZY when they said they loved running. I must admit, I felt good last night during my run.

Woot woot!! I finished day 1! I know it may not seem like a big deal. But I tried to start C25k pre-op. I got horrible shin splints and I never got past day 3. I was walking at a speed of about 2.5 and jogging at 3.0. Weeeeellll, tonight I ran at a pace of 4.5/6 and walking at 4.0!! (insert banana man dancing) I don't feel any pain and even did some lunges and weights afterwards!! I have a goal of wearing this hot two piece I saw on Victoria Secrect.com for my 30th bday in September!!

Congrats!!

Hey there! Today makes 5 weeks post op. On Saturday, I tried to have grilled chicken and cheese. It gave me horrible heart burn. But since then I have the nausea feeling. Every time I try to eat, I get horrible chest pains followed by vomiting. I can't even do water or finish a Popsicle. I'm calling the doc but I wanted to know if any of you had this.

Thank you Sleevie Wonderland!!! I am blushing :embaressed_smile:

I'm Riss1908 ! I would love more friends.

So sorry that you are having a rough bday. My ex admitted that he cheated the night before surgery. Our anniversary was a week later.I would have turned to food too, but for good reason I could not. So, I put on a cute outfit and I went to MAC and got my makeup done! I did a few before shots for myself! Happy Birthday! I hope your day gets better!

Hey BigToe! You may be on to something. I have realized that I did a lot of bored eating. I can't eat as much now, so I end up laying across the bed or just reading a book. I walk about 10 miles a week. Maybe once I need to find more things for me to do.

I take the Opti-something. I take it once a day. It tastes like chalk. I want to find a new brand. What kind do you take?

Hey now! I have noticed the last few days, I have zero energy. I am doing well with my Proteins and I go to bed pretty early. Has anyone else had this issue? I will be 1 month post op tomorrow! :biggrin2:

You look great! Thanks for sharing!

Omg!!! I don't know why I'm sooo excited. But I am trying on some old pants and most are still struggling over my tush... But I put on a buttom up shirt and I don't have that dreadful gap around buttom 2!! Whoop hoo!!! *does a happy dance*

Hey y'all!! I love reading the progress from Sleevers who had VSG around the same time as me. I had VSG on 12/28. I was 255 for my preop diet. 240 the day of surgery and 225 today. One of my employees told me that I looked different. He said he couldn't put his finger on it but I looked like my twin!!! That really made my day. I'm going to try on some old 16 pants today-- hope they fit! (:

Hey ladies!! I am still early on in my journey. When I was in undergrad I had an amazing shape including a nice butt! In your experience, when you lose weight, does your butt/curves go too?

Omg!! I want some mashed potatoes sooooooooo bad. But they are the devil. I lived off of anything with lots of cheese or potatoes and that's the reason I was 260lbs. :/ I am in recovery from my cheese addiction, so I better no tempt myself.

Congrats on the 112lbs lost! I can't wait to shed those pounds. I will use your feed back.

I am a new sleever (12/28). I have been walking in the morning. I am getting really excited b/c my hour walk route now takes me a little over 40mins! After my walk, I am sooo thirsty. I try to sip my water slowly when I get done but it's not enough. When I sneak a gulp- I pay for it. I am really not a fan of drinking and walking either. Does anyone else have this issue?

Not really sure why?! But I got the grand idea to put a little lemon juice on my crab.. Yeah- that's going on the never ever list too!
