    alovio got a reaction from thesmilos in 150 Down   
    ok today i am 3 months 12 post op. today i hit 150 lbs. I have lost 82lbs since my surgery of 4/20. I feel great. I havent been the most honest in my program but none the less i have a program. Havent been hitting gym as much as i should but i do jog 3 miles at least 4 days a week. And i actually job about 80% of 3 miles. I really have no abitite i eat about 3-4 bites and thats all im good for. i would like to loose about 80 ponds more. 220 i would be happy with. Good luck everyone, i think i am getting good results because i go jogging, and beleave me i was 458 i started walking and worked my way up to jogging, i think i am going to do a 5k run.

    my self i also told everyone, I am a own my own barbershop so i am very much in public on daily basis, therefore there was no way to keep secret. I have lost 120 something pounds in last 7 months so people notice. My barbershops name is Big Al's so now evryone tells me I am gonna have to change name to little Al's. Its funny to me but a compliment. there will always be someone that is gonna protest surgery you just have to explain to them its something you need to do for yourself. There isnt a day that goes bye that someone doesnt tell me I am looking good or they ask me how I feel. I just put a smile on my face and thank them very much. So get ready for lots of compliments. Good luck and my advice is tell everyone dont be ashamed of bettering your life.

    So today I went saw my bariatrics nut , she said I've lost 53 pounds in 6 weeks. I thought I was doing great. She was concerned. She ask what I was eating I told her I eat about 3 spoonfuls at a time. I am at about 600 calories per day. She said to bump it up to 1000 cals per day. Also gave an ekg to make sure ticker working good. I am jog 3 miles everymorning and hitting gym after work. I thought I was doing great . But she says if I work out hard I need to feed my body better. Makes sense , she said eat smart not small. I was sleeved on 4/20 and have lost 123 since Nov . 68 pre-op

    So today is my one month post op, I was sleeved on 5/20. First let me throw some numbers at you. 6 months ago I wieghted in at 458. I lost 68 pounds getting ready for surgery, mostley by calorie counting. on 4/20 I was sleeved my weight was 390. Today I am weighting 358, lost 32 pounds in first month. First of all I have been pushing myself. In the morning before work I walk/jog 3.5 miles before work. And then after work I try and do 1 hour of cardio. So far its worked for me. When i started this journey I was wearing a size 58 pants, today my friends that also had sleave gave me some hand-me-downs to wear because my clothes are getting baggy. I couldnt beleave a size 48 fit me good. WOW!!! Made my day, starting to really like the way I look again and i feel 100 times better than last year at this time. Really excited about the future in a really long time. Just feeling grateful and happy, havent had that feeling in a long time. Just to give you a sample of what i eat , never more than 1/2 cup of food. And beleave me I have gotten sick my share of times. I Am I have 1/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of ham. mid morning I have my premier shake. for lunch usally a Soup or a 1/2 cup of Beans. then next few hours I take down Isopure drink. then after gym I make myself a shake with frozen fruit and frozen veggies with whey powder Protein. I think key to my success is the walking and cardio. I am walking/jogging about 15 miles a week. I havent jogged in 15 years. It amazes me that i can jog. Life is good. Everyone good luck dont mean to brag but hopefully motivate. Walking is the key people. I feel like the weight of a teenager is off my back

    i lost 65 lbs getting ready for surgery. like you i had second thought considering i lost 65 maybe i could continue loosing and do it on my own. But i have been overwieght most of my life and had'nt done it yet. Always going up loosing 50lbs then gaining back 60. I am only 1 month post op but have absolutley no regrets it is a big change you WIL NOT be able to eat same amounts of food. you will be amazed how fast you will be full. The hardest thing for me so far is knowing when i am full, usally too late. in my mine i am still that fat guy overfilling my plate. But I am down 32 lbs since April 20. I am starting to like the way I look again. The pain was only about 10 % of what i expected. So have no regrets you can do this you will love what you look and feel. Good luck

    Itested positive for pylori cause it sets you back 45 days, first you have to take antibiotics for 15 days and then wait 30 days before you can retest. Just be patient sounds like its gonna happen. You might test negitive too. I knew I was gonna be positive because I had ulcer bleeding before but it is important to treat.good luck
