  1. All three are resting. Thankfully all came out good so far.
  2. At mi hospital, with wife, sister and sister in law. They will all be on the losers bench today. One down two to go. Praying all goes well
  3. Doing great trying to figure out this maintenance thing. I am struggling to stop losing weight. I am past goal down 90# since surgery, 119# since this journey began. My wife is having the surgery this Friday. Hoping everything goes as well as my surgery>
  4. I agree I have been trying to stop for two weeks now. I have increased my caloric intake, and added more snacks(all healthy), I continue to lose. I'm at a healthy BMI and would like to stop losing but in my mind i think that if I'm not losing I must be gaining . I will up my calories this week again in hopes of finding the middle ground.
  5. Drain tubes are put in during surgery and removed after(in recovery). I did not have a drain, some doctors don't use them. My wife is having the surgery next week inMexico and she will have a drain for one day.
  6. 5 month post op and no more cpap!
  7. I some times burn more calories than I consume, I am at goal and still losing so I have up my carbs in the last two weeks . i would not increase anything unless you are having problems.i never increase calories based on what mfp says. I base it strictly on how I feel. Congrats on your hard work paying off!! Sorry the spreadsheet would not paste here correctly.
  8. I agree go to a running shoe store and get fitted. I purchased a pair of brooks and love them. I know everyone is different, it was a good investment.
  9. I track everything. I was taking in about 850 calories per day(just uped to 1000). I burn between 600-1400 calories a day exercising(strictly cardio). Eat Protein first and do one Protein shake a day. I have increased my calories due to increase in exercise. I really wanted to take advantage of the honeymoon period(first six months). Don't know if i will lose anymore or not. Just waiting to see where I will maintain..Good luck on your journey
  10. good luck tomorrow.. I too hope you do as well.. Who Dat!!!
  11. Here is a side by side.
  12. I have a droid and use picsart
  13. Tes, I am the guy in the before picture and am on the far right in the after. That is two of my 3 sons and my wife in the after pictures. Thanks
  14. I had my surgery November 5th and I have reached my revised goal. i would have never thought i could have a normal BMI. I did not think it was physically possible. Love my sleeve!
  15. Happy to be under my april foold day goal and my personal goal. Today's weight. 167.
  16. I went from a 46 to a 30, in 5 months
  17. Stopped 3 months ago
  18. First the nsv, I purchased 2 pair of jeans yesterday. The first time I can remember the inseam being the same as waist. I went from a 46x30 to a 30x30 and to top it off the jeans were slim fit (me slim fit). Then this morning I weigh in and I'm at goal 168#. I have a normal bmi, I can't believe this happened in less than 5 months. I'm also 20#lighter than my dr's goal!
  19. So excited! I'm below my personal goal! I weighed in this morning and I have a NORMAL bmi. I reached my personal goal in less than 5 months. I'm 20# lighter than my dr's goal. I love my sleeve!
  20. The bed I was rolled into surgery had a scale on it. Maybe why some people thought they were not weighed
  21. Doing great, lost 103# since September. 74 since surgery. Looks like I will be at my goal before our next anniversary. I will hopefully be 168# and have a normal bmi for the first time. I need to start doing some weight Training . Never thought it would happen this quickly. Love my sleeve!
  22. Have to revise this goal. I reached my original goal today. So my new April Fools Goal is my personal goal of 168 and a normal BMI. Can't belive I have a chance to be at goal in 5 months since surgery...I love this sleeve!!!
