  1. Congrats! My surgery was June 4 and I am down but not quite as much as you. I have had a little bit of a rough time adjusting but starting to feel a little more normal now as I come up on 3 months, so I am quite happy! Now if I would just exercise like you.... :D

    You can totally do it!!! Good news is diet is 80% of fitness so once you master that, working out you can build up to doing more and more!!!


  2. I had a low BMI starting out of like 30 so I expected weight loss to be slow but it's not its rocketing off!!! I'm 5'9

    HW 207

    SW 200

    CW 163!!!!

    That's 44 pounds in just under 11 weeks ????

    I'm working out super hard and counting carbs! I do cardio 3-4 times a week and lift weights 5-6 times a week. The hard work is paying off the weight is melting off!!! I tried on jeans at a store yesterday and was in a size 6 again!!! I can't believe it!!!

    I follow the rules to a T! I have not had a single cheat or carb that is not from fruits and veggies! I eat super clean and it's working!!! Good luck everyone. What a awesome tool this has been for me and can be for you as well!!!

    CW 166!!!!!

    Doing great, working out 5-6 days a week strength training weight lifting and cardio a few times a week! I'm so excited my body is coming around and it's a amazing feeling! I'm definitely working for it but it sooooooo worth it. I've got my diet figured out I'm low carb on less active day's high carb on cardio days getting in 100 plus gms of Protein a day and a gal of Water a day. The weight is falling of I'm so stinking proud happy and excited!!! It's not easy but it's very rewarding to see the results!


  4. VSG June 16, today I am 8 weeks. SW 277. Day of 250 today 221. So 29 lbs since sgx. I have had some major stalls. One- not eating enough. two- not enough fats. I was a purest. Three - working too much (6 days a week)

    And now--- I think my Protein shakes were making me stall... I've been using a good product. 160 cal, 25 grams, 2 grams of sugar and fat. Made with Water. But I skipped a few shakes and had a 4 lb weight loss. I still feel strong, and eat about 40-50 of natural Protein (fish and lentils)

    Has this happened to anyone?

    What's in it for sweetness?? Sucralose (Splenda) can stall you. I use "about time" it's from GNC its sweetened with stevia so it's a little better. I have to be careful with artificial sweeteners they are bad news.


  5. I was a food addict just like you describe! I'm proud to say I've kicked the habit! Food has become to me a means to fuel my body. My hunger is way less than it used to be I can control it. Eating is less enjoyable than before it's hard to explain. I'm 8 weeks out and down to 167 from 207. I eat super low carb and that helps with craving bad crap. Once you have it done your feelings about food change completely! Plus your body detoxes from all the crap and you feel different and foods taste different. It's pretty cool!


  6. How do you keep carbs under 30 grams? I find it almost impossible to do. Usually I am between 50 and 70.

    I count them meticulously!!! I have zero carb Protein powder I mix with almond milk with has 1/2 a carb in 8 oz. and for my meals I eat chicken, eggs, tuna, pork loin, ground chicken etc all that have very little to no carbs. The carbs I do get come from green veggies but I'm usually full from my 2-3 oz of lean meats so my carb intake is low. To which I contribute loosing 30lbs in 5 weeks :) Oh and there are a few carbs also in my Fiber gummies also but I have to have my Fiber lol
    @@alindsey What make of fiber gummies do you get and do you rate the sugar free ones?
    I was taking just a generic cvs brand. I counted those few carbs in with my other carbs.

    I actually stopped taking fiber though because we need more insoluble fiber not soluble fiber from the supplements. Soluable fiber like in supplements I read can actually make Constipation worse (I've had extreme issues with this!) I get my fiber from flaxseeds blueberries (on carb cycling days, berries are pretty low carb though) and other seeds and nuts.


  7. @@alindsey Were you sleeved 5/8? 6/8 would be more like 7 weeks ago. Just curious about your weight loss because we were similar SW.

    No I meant 6/8 lol June 8th.... I'm tired lol. How much have you lost? I'm super excited to be at 175 it's a dream come true! I can't wait to be at 150 though!!!


  8. I'm great HW 207

    SW 200 (6/8/15 sleeve date)
