I'm doing the FIU north Miami sprint tri in May. Anyone wanna roll...more than welcome

Doing my first GORUCK Light today...let's go!!!

Just started reading your blog. Amazing! I got VSG surgery done in September 2014, and am down 69 lbs already. I'm gonna take on a tri in 2015...I'll be looking to your blog to guide me for sure. Keep it up! From "shit to fit"!!!

I passed a month anniversary on 10/12. I'm down approximately 40 lbs..it's not easy getting in all the protein. I'm on phase 3..I'm so over chicken and protein shakes...but the shakes are among the few things that go down well. I actually ran for the first time today, and it felt great being down 40 and not have to carry that weight on my legs! But I have a concern...anyone else have looming heartburn? My doc prescribed me prevacid..but I didn't have it this bad pre-op..anyone else have this issue?

So in week 3, I didn't lose anything. The sunday going into week 4...7 lbs down! So anyone in week 3 flipping out...don't. Week 4 will move right along. Having that said..I messed up today. I am in Protein phase and have eaten so much grilled chicken, I'm gonna be one soon! So I had a piece of jerk chicken...yes. spicy food. BAD IDEA! matter of fact..terrible idea! I feel so sick right now. It all came back up. I learned my lessson..."stay in your damn lane. Follow the diet plan". So if this describes you, or something you're thinking of doing...don't!

Anyone in south FL wanna do a 5K together? Totally down for that! I'm gonna be a month post-op this Friday but should be able to do it by thanksgiving!

I'm training for SWAT school, as I'm a police officer. It's in January So lots of cardio pretty much...but it's tough to train when you feel tired so easily. I'm only 3 weeks post-op, so I'm not trying to be an Ironman yet..

I think if you have never worked out a day in your life, or you're on a TIGHT budget..it's a good option. But if you are athletic, current or former...you have no business in there. It's the kind of place folks go, so they can say "I work out". I'm not trying to be offensive, but it is what it is.

Very strange. I'm moving on to phase 3, but still using the protein drinks. I'm slowly introducing solids. So far scrambled eggs. I think when I burp, is the sign for "I'm full".

I had Dr. Szomstein. He's awesome.

Hi all..got sleeved on 09/12. Finally sleeping better and minor discomfort, only when I sleep as I fall asleep best on my side. I'm going back for my post-op appointment tomorrow, and hoping my doctor puts me on soft foods. I'm having a bit of a hard time on phase 2, as I'm growing tired, almost angry at just liquids still. (Been on them for 3 weeks, if you include pre-op) I'm walking around and happy at my weight loss so far, but I feel my body slowing down..I was losing 2 lbs a day steadily..and the last 2 days nothing. I don't think I'm consuming enough..hopefully the NUT or doctor can tell me if I am.

I'm a week and change out, and I'm so tired of soups and protein drinks. I'm ready to rip someone's head off lol. I'm starting to wonder if I'm hungry, gassy or whatever. I have gas pains only when I drink liquids too quickly. Ahhhh...when is the next step.

Think of the diet like this...you don't do it, the doctor won't open you up and you'll still have to do it anyways. Sacrifice guys. It sucks ass..we all know it but you're better than drinking some liquids. You can do it.

I just got discharged tonight. I didn't have or need any pain meds tonight so far. I'm learning thay if I sip too fast, that gas buildup hurts like crazy. This will take time. Cleveland Clinic in weston, FL is excellent.

Yeah I'm on a liquid pain reliever. I really only need it at night before going to bed. I leave the hospital tomorrow most likely. I literally had 3 tablespoons of the broth and I was finished. I noticed that if I sip it too fast or burp, it hurts. I had a bad reaction after surgery to the anesthesia...and threw up..nothing but stomach acid came up. It was the most vile and wretched feeling ever. I almost ripped the pan in half. It was horrible.
