pminshew got a reaction from Dametris in 11 months out
Hi! I had my surgery in December 2016, starting at 215, but I’ve only dropped to 170. While I’m THRILLED with the results, I feel as though I should be at goal now. But, I’ve only started exercising the past month.
Honestly, I “relapsed” on bad habits and I cannot for the life of get back on track. I almost feel complacent since I still look and feel so much better. Would like to drop 20 more.
Any advice for me to get back on gear with eating? I think part of my problem has not been getting NEARLY the Protein I should (just the past month). Still, this surgery was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Thanks!

pminshew got a reaction from 2Tuffproc in Not enough protein shakes
Good morning. I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon and I am STARVING. Apparently I'm starving because I haven't been drinking enough Protein. I know we've beat this topic to death, but I swear I'm going to vomit if I drink another shake. I can't get 5 in a day. I hope it doesn't impact my surgery and I've been drinking sooo many fluids, but Protein shakes are breaking my heart.
Anyone else literally sick to their stomachs?

pminshew got a reaction from nickisleeve in Cancelled sleeve, then rescheduled, and am in pre-op diet....starving
I have a pretty low bmi and weigh about 210. Hoping all of this pre hard work is worth it.
I admit I'm concerned about not losing the 50-60 lbs I'm hoping for because I don't want to lose much more than that. Generally, those with more to lose easily lose after surgery.
I'm just concerned that the weight that needs to fall me will happen quickly and not over an extended period of time.

pminshew got a reaction from 165B445 in Exercise pre-op?
Hi guys. Very new here and to this process. I have a lower BMI and are currently confirming a co-morbidity.
So my question is this-- Are those of you who can exercise before going to? And if so, how much? I'm thinking walks on the treadmill and strength training. Might be good to have your workout ready to once you get cleared.
