Ok....I had surgery on 4/24/12 and have now lost 81lb since pre-op diet. I still have 56lb to go. I started at 297 and am now 216. I am 5'8". I started at a 24 and am now wearing a 16. I have been in a stall for the last 2 weeks with minimal inches lost as well (1/2 inch off hips only.) However, I have not been to the gym in the last 2 weeks due to shcool starting and all of that stress. I will be going tomorrow and resuming my 4-5 times per week. Hopefully I will start to loose again. I get about 800-1000 cal per day. I was really hoping to get down to under 200lb before our vacation at the end of the month, but I am thinking that I will probably not happen. I have not had any complications and have a sleeve of steel that tolerates everything. I don't eat everything though.

I am 3 months out as of yesterday. I have lost 69 pounds! I am delighted with my sleeve! I have more energy, I eat better, I exercise 3-5 times per week, and I don't regret it for a minute. My skin is loose everywhere. My husband says it is like I have a fat suit. I am sure that this will tighten up as the weight loss slows down. I know that I will have to have a tummy tuck as I have had two pregnancies and one of those was twins and I went full term. I am able to eat everything (though I don't) and have not found anything that I can not tolerate. I watch my protien, and keep carbs low, though I am not a fanatic about it. I can't wait to see how much I loose and how long it will take. I am halfway to goal.

I went to my first exercise class yesterday and chose yoga. I have been exercising for almost 2 months on the treadmill and with weights. However, today after that yoga class yesterday morning, I am sooooo sore. My back, arms, shoulders, arm, and even lower abs are really sore! The weights have nothing on this! I will definitely be going again! Though probably not today.....

Thank you!
My calories range from 600 to 1000 a day, but I always get my 60gm of protien. I think it is good to varry the calories so that your body does not get in a rutt. I have been luck to not have stalled more than 4-5 days in a stretch and there has only been 2 of those. As far as exercise, since about month 2 I have been on the tredmill increasing the walking speed for 30 minutes and weight training for 30 minutes alternating upper and lower body by the day. Today I did yoga strenthening (which was really hard). Again, trying to mix it up.
