Looking good!!! Keep it up

Hey girl! I'm 24 as well and I had the same issues with my bf!! I recently broke up with him 2 weeks ago because I could not take it anymore!! We were together for 3 1/2 years and I finally had the strength to leave him! I hope what you do is what is right for you. I feel happier than ever and don't regret it

I am 15 months post-op and I have lost 100% of my excess weight. I have been at goal (180 #) since March.
I attribute my success to following the rules explicitly.
Eat lean Protein first
Don't drink with meals
Exercise
I did not do low carb. I believe in the whole calories consumed vs calories burned. In order to have the energy to exercise, you need carbs. If you have energy to exercise, you burn a lot more calories ... you lose weight.
When I am talking about exercise, I am not referring to walking around the block 5 times. I'm talking about getting your heart rate up to 80-90% of your target and maintaining it there for at least 30 minutes. Do that, and any sleever will lose. I'm sure of it. Do that, and you, too will lose 100% of your excess weight.
Don't be a slave to the scale. You are going to stall. It is a natural and necessary part of this journey. The best way to beat a stall is to not weigh yourself but once a month. That way, you always see loss and are not discouraged. The scale measures weight, not fat.

Hi everyone!!
I was sleeved April 17!! Starting weight was 268 and I'm at 203 now.... -65 pounds yay!! It's taken a lot of work and sacrifice but I'm loving my new life

This is so funny because it's a reminder that I need new work pants or else they can fall off anytime soon lol

I was sleeved April 17 and day of surgery I was 268, today I am 212!!! So glad I did this....love my new life

Hi girls!! I'm about 9 weeks out and have lost 40 pounds!! I'm 24 years old and I'm also a college student!! Life is different with the sleeve but I would not change it... I'm glad I did this!! I also have my fitness pal feel free to add me maggie4788

Keep up the good work!!!!

Congrats!!! Keep up the good work

I am also 6 weeks out, and have tried a few sips of wine here and there with no bad effects even tried a beer but only got through about a quarter of it, before it got warm and I lost interest. I have had no side effects. Since we still have our duodenum we wouldn't have the same reaction to alcohol that some one with a RNY woul dhave. I agree though don't over do it. I am interested to hear about trying Jack on ice. I was a big whickey person before surgery. I haven't had it in months do to pre op and none since surgery but I am interested in how it affected someone post op.

Best decision I ever made too!!!

A month ago I made the best decision in my life!!! I feel great and I am down 23 pounds!! I am grateful I had this surgery and a great recovery. Good Luck to everyone!!
