YAY!

YOU LOOK AMAZING! CONGRATS ON A-A-A-A-L-L-LL YOUR LOSS

Love, love, LOVE your attitude! I'm going to come back to this thread for your optimism when my hair starts to shed. Thank you!

4 more days heavyD...I'm excited for you! Welcome and good luck!

Thanks everyone! It really does feel exceptional and euphoric

Thanks Fiddle, I really appreciate that

Thank you ladies!!!

I'm 6 weeks and 2 days out. Started working out 3 weeks ago when I finally felt like myself, and as of this morning...199!!!!!!! I have not been in the 100's since my 1st child's first year of infancy (and she's 10 1/2)! Super excited and happy

Thank you! Good luck with your sleeve...it's an awesome tool and I'm loving it! Hope you get it soon

I finally got approved and transitioned from toning sessions to heavy lifting. I'm starting out "slow" (by slow I mean lifting twice a week, kind of like a "weekend warrior" kind of thing) due to my schedule and four heathens (I say that with love), ranging in age from 2 to 10. Today's session was full body, I worked my biceps, triceps, lats, quads, hams, calves, pecs, as well as the posterior, medial, and anterior deltoids. Each exercise consisted of three sets, 90 sec rests when I transitioned to the next exercise, and 30 sec rests between each set; 8-10 lifts until failure. If i failed before the 8-10, I switched to a lower weight and pushed until failure. OH MY GOSH, TALK ABOUT HAVING MY A KICKED! I HAVEN'T HAD THIS FEELING IN FOREVER, AND I LOVE IT...probably will NOT be loving it tomorrow when I am sore and can barely walk! #feelingSUPERpumped!

Whoop! Whoop! I hope I get there soon!!!

You look great! Someone already stated the right answer: they're both, but good carbs. I hope I have your success, you are looking fabulous girl!

Congrats! And thank goodness (for me) that bread hurts going down!! Tried a little piece of wheat bread with my baked chicken, and it is a no go!

Looking good...really good ;D LOL! Congrats!!!

The first 2/3 weeks were tough, week 1 being the toughest. By the end of week 3 I felt like myself again, but I had to really work it to get those calories in. Gatorade helped a lot. I've already weaned myself off, but when calories were hard to get in, it really helped with dizziness and the world going a little black at times. I've been eating every 2-3 hours. I have the same problem with the shakes (but hey, all I can say is that at least I am regular now--LOL!), I just make sure to drink them when I am at home. However, I find myself napping and extremely tired by the end of the day, especially on my early A.M. workout days (I'm up to 4 miles--yay me!). On my non workout days I get in about 700 calories, and workout days I get in about 900 calories. My doctor released me this week to full diet, but so many things are hard to get in. I have found some sliders though, like cantaloupe and (believe it or not) beef Jerky. I know its high in sodium, but they kept me awake on my 11 hour drive to LA. I wish you continued success and I hope you get your energy back sooner than later! Good luck to you!

That is awesome!!!

Thank you so much!!!

I am excited for you! I am not going to lie, for me, week 1 was...well...I refer to it as my hell week. Not because of the surgery site itself, but because of the gas discomfort. Heating pads were my savior, though! And, due to the swelling in my stomach, I struggled getting fluids down that first week. So, I was really weak. Popsicles (nice, cold sugar free popsicles) saved me. Ice in general went down real good. I did much better week 2, and by the end of week 3 I was 100%. Everyone really is different though. The time will pass before you know it and you'll be loving your sleeve! Good Luck!

Hey there friend! I am down 27 lbs since surgery, just like you! I guess we are right on track!!!

YOU LOOK REALLY AWESOME! VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND IT GIVES ME HOPE!!!
