I'm almost 4 months out and today I seen my pcp foe the first time since February. She told me my BMI is down to 26 from 36, I've lost 49 lbs and my blood pressure was excellent. I am now 195 lbs. haven't seen this since 2000!!! I cried and when I looked up she was crying too!!! She knows my weight loss struggle and has been walking with me in it. My goal is 150 even and I hope that I can reach it by November (my birthday). Today is a Major milestone for me. I sure hate that I waited this long to do this!!

I went to academy sporting good store and bought a huffy cruiser for 90.00 last week. I haven't rode in 34/35 years. I love it. Step daughter and I ride at least every other day. No gears or hand brakes, just a plain bike just cruiser style. They was actually cheaper than Walmart.< /p>

I took a Metamucil tablet yesterday and today and it has helped with hunger sooooo much. I only ate 710 calories today compared to the 1000-1200 I was eating. And I haven't been starving all day. When I get hungry I can eat something small like a yogurt or string cheese and be good to go. Before yesterday I was having to eat more at a time and more often. Idk if its the Metamucil tablet or if my body is finally getting use to not having a stomach but I'm pretty stoked because I've been battling the sucky starvation for 6 weeks.

It is not abnormal to be hungry! There seems to be a growing belief here that you will no longer experience hunger.
I will say there a a few here that say they never feel hunger anymore but that is the exception not the rule.. Your body needs fuel to work!
It's still a balancing act in a way. I still have to make the decision to eat healthy when hunger comes and as time goes by you have to put a bit more work into it because increased hunger becomes an issue along with being able to eat a bit more.
These are not things to scare you off, this is part of the "work" part people are talking about. the sleeve is a "tool" to be used along with having to learn new habits.

Well by my calculations you are about three weeks out. At this point I was only starting pureed foods. If I were you I would stick to soft foods for a little longer. I didn't have raw veggies for months only cooked. Just go slow and be careful. I ate alot of cottage cheese, tuna, soft fish, ground meats, canned meats, cheese strings, yogurt, eggs.< /p>
pineapple I say would be a big no right now, very fibrous and chewy.

Can't believe I am already 6 months post op! While I will never forget where I started, it is starting to be a distant memory and my new life is better than I ever could have imagined!!
The struggles in the beginning were worth it, after all who wouldn't have struggles when you do something like we have done. I just try and take it one day at a time, we all have our good days and bad, but you can't let one bad day overtake all the progress that has been made!
Loving my sleeve still!

I use nuvaring and love it. No issues.

Nuvaring works good for me!

So I took my first 'hot yoga' class last night. Before being convinced to go, I was afraid of the heat. Being a previously larger person, heat and I were not friends so of course I was concerned about it. But turns out it wasnt the heat that was the hard part. It was the moves. Holy nuts! This sh*t was no joke.
I got into the room very early and the heat wasnt bad at all. I had taken previous yoga classes but this one apparently was for more experienced folks because there were some moves that had my thinking in my head "you got to be out of your mind". The times that I couldnt do the move or felt a little light headed, I just sat in childs pose and drank some Water and blotted my dripping face. No one judged and there were people as large or larger than myself which made me feel comfortable. I just didnt have the muscle strength to do some of the moves.
Im proud to say that I stayed in the room the whole time and managed about 80% of the moves. When they say you will be drenched from head to toe, they mean it! I know I got a good workout because I slept like a rock and Im sore today.
The best part, I lost 2 pounds overnight
