Hello Bdoreus,

Thank you for the compliment and it is very encouraging to get responses from so many people on this site. My diet consist of lean Protein and green vegetables. I also perform one hour of cardio exercise 6 days a week, strength training three days a week. chicken is my favorite so pretty much have it for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I am always trying to get at least 80 grams of protien in a day. I am not so much concerned about the calories. I stay away bread, rice, Pasta, and most fruits, except grapes, and grapefruit.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I do have another question. I noticed that you were sleeved in July of this year. You have in your siggy that you've losed over 100lbs so far. How is that possible? That is just alost of weight. We are in Sept now, which would mean it took you 2 months to loose all that weight? I am confused. Is it the cardio workouts? How is the integrity of your skin?

Regarding your diet, were you told to stay away from carbs? I am on stage 4 and I can't have rice, Pasta, or bread yet. I don't have to focus on carbs either. I am pretty much drinking a glass of milk or a Protein shake in the morning, anything with Protein (4 ounces) for lunch, and then another Protein Shake or whatever protein again for dinner. I am not even counting calories or excerising. I will start hand weights tomorrow. Am I missing something?

It has been an amazing journey since I embarked on weight loss surgery. I started my journey June 2, 2010 on the pre-op diet that was prescribed to me by Dr. Garth Davis. I had gastric sleeve sugery on July 2, 2010. As of today I have lost a total of 105 pounds and I have 103 pounds left to reach my goal. I no longer take cholestrol medicine, sleep with a breathing machine, blood pressure medicine has been reduced to half, and I am able to do cardio for up to two hours a day. I cut up my Casual Male card and I now shop at Marshalls, Ross, and TJ Max. Although when I look in the mirror I am unable to see the change but my clothes and pictures tell a different story. I will post new pictures when I reach 299 pounds. That should be no later than next Monday.

Wow, congrats! Lol! Thanks for sharing your success story. I was sleeved on 8/16/10 and have lost a total of 28lbs so far. I am very eager to continue loosing. What do you contribute your rapid weight loss too? Just eating less or have you actually worked out to help accelerate the loss? What is your basic eating plan like per day? Like your ideal Breakfast, lunch, dinner? I am sorry for all the questions but I am so new that I get confused. I haven't worked out yet because I am not 6 weeks yet, but I want to if it will make me loose quicker.:scared0:
