I was sleeved on April 3 2013. These are pictures of my journey.

I counted my protein for the first 4 weeks after surgery. After that I stopped and have not looked back. I learned how to listen to my body. When I feel like I need to eat I do so. Do I ever over eat? Yep. That being said this is what has worked for ME. I have been able to maintain the same weight now for over 2 months and I am happy where I am at. If i lose a few more no biggie. As long as I do not gain I am good.

Surgery was April of 2013. To date I have had zero carbonation. Soda was never really a big thing for me. Beer on the other hand I still miss....

Sunday I will be doing my longest duathlon so far. 5K run 30K bike and another 5K run. Did my last push of training this morning. I know I will likely be the slowest but I know I will finish!

The hardest for me has been actually seeing myself as "thin". I still don't see it most days. If I ever here what someone weighs I think to myself wait I weigh x pounds less than they do but they look so much thinner. I guess I still see myself as being big.... Its crazy.

The pain directly after waking up from the surgery was the worst of it for me. It was the build up of the gas and such. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest and shoulders. Other than that I would say the pain was nominal. I do not know if I will ever feel normal. I do not feel as skinny as I am. I know this is in the head but I still feel like Im a big dude..

And the cool thing is all of these things WILL happen for all of you as long as you stick to the program! Life on the other side is rather amazing! I wish you all much success!

Great thread! I never really cared much about heart rate and tracking until recently and in fact just ordered a TomTom Multisport Cardio GPS watch today. I look forward to trying it out as well as stepping up the game on my training and such! Hopefully in a few weeks I will be able to add some real value to this thread with my own personal findings.

I would likely have to off myself if I could not eat flour tortillas.... Ugh

I used these early on often. 1 thing I found though is you DO NOT want to drink them all in 1 sitting. Space it out over time. If I drank it all in 1 sitting they gave me the shitz.

14 months out and none so far. I REALLY miss my beer....sigh...

Sure why not!
