    Military/Reserves after surgery?

    Active Duty but HOLD UP! Theres a scholarship program for CRNA! If you get into a program you take the letter of acceptance and join THEN. They put you reserves and pay ALL school, fees, books, etc plus 2100 a month for a living stipend. You give them 1 year for each year of school they cover. Once you graduate they move you active. You wont get the crna incentive pay those three or two years but once you resign they give a great bonus.

    Its a medical disqualifier.. Just get ALL of your surgery records and follow up records and have your MD and surgeon write letters for you and you could probably get a waiver with no other health issues. Also - im going into nurse corps - theyre a little more lenient for nurses

    W1D1 completed yesterday during 2:00PM Texas Heat in a hoodie I figure if I can make it in that then it should be pretty easy in a tshirt in the afternoon Going to try doing it again tonight after the trainer kicks my arse. Going for my first training session tonight too. Trying to get in shape for Air Force fit test!

    So I didn't really get started good on the app and quit it about 50 pounds ago. Tried W1D1 again last night on an outside track (hills/turns) and actually RAN instead of jogged the run sections and lasted 24 of the 30 minutes. Hopefully next time I can make it through all!!

    Cheating during two weeks?

    I wont lie. I did but i didnt. I ate grilled chicken subs from subway and stayed under 1500 cals a day for the last five days then did liquids the day before surgery with the miralax that the doc ordered. I lost 7lbs prior to surgery.

    Muscle Definition

    Ive been doing cardio first then weights, but find myself tiring out pretty quick on the weights... How do you avoid this? I have to get my strength up, but i also have to work up to running if im ever going to pass the Air Force fit test.

    Military/Reserves after surgery?

    If any of you are curious or still following this - I saw my surgeon this week and one of her sleevers actually got accepted into the Air Force! She said they had to provide all kinds of letters and paperwork but she got it! Stoked!

    All of my December sleevers...

    My six month mark was 6/30 - down 85! Averageing about 10lbs a month. Hopefully it keeps up. Only 32lbs until i can apply for Air Force and 38 to my personal goal of 180. Id technically fall into the overweight BMI but i dont care. The BMI chart says for the HIGHEST normal BMI id need to weigh 168. That sounds gross skinny for someone my build.
  21. Six month mark today! Sleeved 12/31/2012 High weight: 303 Surgery weight: 297 First month: - 31lbs Second month: - 11 lbs Third month: - 13 lbs Fourth month: - 10 lbs Fifth month: - 10 lbs Sixth month: - 9 lbs Current weight: 218.8 Total lost: - 84.2 lbs Average Calories: 1000-1100 per day. Was stalled 3 1/2 of the last five weeks.
  22. Ok... I already know I'll get some but let the flames begin. I did this as a social experiment for the better of our group here who want to know about drinking and how the sleeve effects you (sounds convincing right? . Last night I went out with a buddy of mine - had a beer... two long island iced teas... and a malibu and diet coke. This was all over the span of about 5 hours. Yes I know its empty calories... Yes I know blahblahblah... but I drink RARELY. I must say that yes I did notice it made me drunker faster for sure... no other issues though. No more hung over today than the last time I got drank and got drunk about a year ago... I've actually had a good week of losing too... and on a strange side note - I woke up almost two pounds lighter today. Probably from all of the Water I lost peeing. Needless to say I've been hitting the water hard today to replace it so I'm not expecting to see a loss for a couple of days. I'm SO CLOSE TO the 250's I CAN TASTE IT! Haven't seen them since 2007!!
