Hi from Austin, TX!

Dmedic72,Were you on a "pain pump" post op? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App No, I had IV boluses of Dilaudid and liquid hydrocodone. I went home with Opana pills. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Pain is not bad. Well controlled with opiods. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

I consistently have it checked. I'm on Testopel, Clomid and HCG. My urologist has done a great job getting my numbers up. I switched to Testopel from weekly injections in November. Also, he's started me on T3 (Nature-throid ). It was on the low side of normal in late January so I started it. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

I'm down to a size 30 waist and wearing a medium shirt. I'll try your suggestions, they sound solid! At 5'9" and 6% body fat, I think I can't afford to drop much more weight and feel healthy. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

I think I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid of losing too much weight. I'm down to 190 lbs and I've been trying to bulk up back to 200 lbs. My trainer and I have tried to change my diet to minimize further weight loss. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

You'll do great! Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

First pic was July 11, 2015 on my first appointment with my trainer. I weighed in at 266 lbs and 17.25% body fat then. Today, 195lbs and 6%. My trainer and I focus on building lean muscle mass. I do cardio on my own. My VSG date was 10/14/2015. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

It's been a while. Working with my trainer twice a week. Trying to keep my weight above 200 lbs is the new struggle. Sleeve date 10/14/15 Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Sleeved Oct 2015. Paramedic in a busy suburban system in Texas. Down 100 lbs from my original weight. I workout with my trainer and at the gym with no issues. I was cleared by my surgeon after 6 weeks. I just had to be careful with abd exercises for a bit longer or wear a belt. I did fine. The only thing I would add is that you should not be afraid to up the carbs before your workouts. My nut encouraged me to add to my Protein shakes, sugar, honey, juice, anything to give me enough fuel to get me through without burning out. I really noticed a difference when I didn't do it vs the times I did. I still carry packets of Gu with me to my workouts.Eating at work has been fine. I just plan ahead and eat as I should. I don't make a big deal about it. I do carry Ritz Peanut Butter crackers for hunger emergencies with me. Lol. I hope this helps. Sent from my SM-T357T using Tapatalk

Have you had a body fat analysis? Could it be that spare tire is mostly loose skin? Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
