That is awesome!! I'm 44, and 2 months out I have lost a total of 54 since I started my pre opp diet on Feb 8th. No carb withdraws at all, I don't find it's hard to say no. Honestly you can't eat a while lot and you learn to just be picky about what you do eat. I have had no issues other than 1 case of acid reflux. Good luck to you and your hubby!!!

@ThatRussGirl Hi Jenn. We are pretty close in sleeve surgery dates and progress. Mine was Feb. 25. I'm Kelly. I started out at 331 and as of last Friday I was at 280. I weigh each Friday so we'll see what tomorrow brings. I had lost 16 lbs. on the pre-surgery liquid diet and the other 35 has been since surgery. Maybe we can keep in touch with our progress/questions/issues?
As for exercise, I've mostly been walking, 30 mins./day. But just last week I started a beginner Zumba class. Tonight will be my third class. I did check with my doctor first to see if it was ok. They said just as long as I take it easy and listen to my body if it's too hard, etc. The first class I took it easy and didn't do too bad. The second class I kind of forgot that I even had surgery and really got into it. Although that night I did notice my stomach muscles were a bit tender so I may have did a little too much. But it is definitely fun and it's added a different workout to my routine so that's nice. In the summer, if it ever gets warm here, I will add swimming/swim exercises as we have a pool. I also plan to get back on my bike and enjoy some bike rides outside. Eventually, I'd like to add in some small weights or some strength training. I think I have to wait until at least 12 weeks out if I remember correctly what my doctor said in the past.
Hope that helps! Look forward to hearing more from you. I'm pretty new to this site, this is my first post. But I think I can send messages directly to you by your profile. I'll have to try that next time perhaps. Take care.

I can't do powder Protein as it makes me nauseous, but I can do the Premier Protein shakes from costco. I just bought some sugar free caramel Syrup to add to the vanilla, it is super yummy. Good luck! I hope you find something you can tolerate!!

I walk everyday 1 1/2- 2 1/2 miles. I actually start weight training this week and I'm super excited about that! I'm about 5 weeks out.
