  1. Yah I am getting there :) losing 137 lbs is not too shabby - lost about what I would like to weigh. My doc uses the 40 because there are fewer complications with the slightly larger size. If you eat what you are supposed to (hi baked chicken breast' date=' turkey, eggs - etc) you have terrific restriction with just about any sized bougie. I am in the period where things do slow a bit - so I have upped my activity level - mostly with Water aerobics which is really fun - Its shocking to look forward to planned exercise.

    I am very happy with the progression of my losses thus far![/quote']

  3. Soo although my surgery is not until May i cant stop thinking about the pain, that I might be in. I am what you can call a big baby!! I tear when I am having blood work, and having my blood pressure checked hurts me. So to say the very least my pain threshold is very low. Can you guys prepare on what to expect?


  4. Sure!

    Breakfast : 6:30 sipping / eating for 1 hour. medium ice vanilla latte from caribou coffee- not sugar free' date=' with 2% milk and 1 turkey bacon mini sandwhich from caribou. Total: 400 cals, 20 grams of Protein

    snack 9:45am : babybels cheese 60 cals, 6 Protein.< /p>

    Lunch: 1 large egg made in to egg salad with regular mayo, 1 serving of cheezits. Total: 320 cals, 10 protein.

    Snack: Stoney field farm yogurt- organic banana flavor - 1 cup 200 cals, 9 protein.

    Dinner: steak burrito bowl from chipotle- about 2oz of steak, cheese, sour cream, 2 tablespoons of Beans, 2 tablespoons of rice and hot salsa. I figure about 350 cals and 15 protein.

    Dessert/ late night snack, edys whole fruit Popsicle. 100 cals.

    Very typical day- I get burrito bowls and eat them for days! And at 2000 cals I eat similar, like 2 eggs at lunch and a little more meat for dinner- and ususlly some veggies at dinner and sometimes for my afternoon snack.[/quote']

    So is this how you ate when you where losing or to maintain? Thank you so much for sharing with us btw!!

  6. my heaviest weight was 262- (I'm 5'4") I was sleeved at 250' date=' made goal 169 8.5 months later. Total of 90+ pounds in 10 months. (very modest goal weight-- yes but I'm a size 12 and medium tops usually and I WAS a 24 and 2x tops easy. ) I will be 2 years post op a week after I turn 30 (July 25th) and my goal is to make it to the 150's (159!) by then with my new workout routine. Another positive about my modest goals is I have no loose skin. :)[/quote']

    Can you share what a normal eating day was for you at 1500 calories? Like what healthy meals did you eat that your were still able to consume this much. You have brought up a great concern and come to think of it the calorie increase over time is probably why so many wls patients can their weight back.
