I had mine a year ago on 12/11/17. Hang in there. It all goes so fast!

...to go to the gym and get eyeballed in a good way from the ladies there. Definitely keeps me motivated. I remember the days not too long ago where I would be eyeballed everywhere I went just because I was a 6'3" 400+lb guy and looked out of place in any setting. The new way of getting eyeballed is so much better.

I would say 8-8.5 months is where I leveled out. Right at my goal weight.

Pureed food beginning day 3 post-op?
BlueCrush replied to Rexcom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon has his patients start on purees on day 3 as well. He is also an accredited bariatric center of excellence surgeon. -
What are your favorite protein bars?
BlueCrush replied to kordie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The bariatric pal chocolate caramel crunch protein bars are the best I've found so far. They taste like a 100 Grand candy bar. -
Last pre op appt, payments to hospital??
BlueCrush replied to stibitzal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Having two insurances is likely what's causing them inability to calculate. They will send to your first insurance, and then whatever is due after that (what they would likely have billed to you if you only had 2 insurance), will then be sent to your second insurance. If anything is still due, they'll send to you. -

Looks, Health, Mobility, Longevity.....Rank these motivations for surgery
BlueCrush replied to Creekimp13's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
1a and 1b. Longevity/Family. I decided to get the surgery when my daughter was born. I decided I wanted to be around as long as possible for her, and never wanted my size to dictate what I could or couldn't do with her. 3. Looks 4. Health... The only health issue I had was sleep apnea. Glad to now say HAD... Past tense 5. Mobility... I actually had pretty decent mobility, shockingly for a 400+lb guy. -
You got this, man! Wishing a speedy recovery.

How long did it take to hit your goal and when did your loss slow down?
BlueCrush replied to danieocean's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
About 9 months for me. I've since been trying to ADD weight (never in my life thought I'd say that) with muscle. It's crazy how fast it goes by when you get in a good routine. -
Neck/facelift, Anyone?
BlueCrush replied to Screwballski's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
That's damn impressive. I would guess you in the mid-30s based on this pic! -
I've always wanted to take flying/pilot lessons,but most of the small planes used for that require you to be under 250lbs. Now that I'm holding steady at 220, I'm ready. I'm hoping my wife gets me this for Christmas.

Nice job setting a routine of going consistently. Do you log you calories and protein each day? -
Is it possible to build muscle after the sleeve? I'm about to find out.
BlueCrush replied to BlueCrush's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Combination of both. On some of the pics you can see my phone staged. In others, my wife is taking the picture. -

BlueCrush replied to BlueCrush's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I switched up my routine about a month ago to do different lifts, focusing on compound lifts. With that, I started a 6 week program where I had kind of set my weights for the 6-week period. At the end of this routine, I'll try again for 1 rep Maxes and see where I'm at. -

BlueCrush replied to BlueCrush's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Some update pics from today's session at the gym. I've been battling mentally with the reality of eating enough to gain muscle. Though I know I need to, anytime I see weight GAIN on the scale, I freak a little and subconsciously pull back on my diet. This week I gained about 3 pounds and I'm trying hard to be OK with that. -
I ate two of them last night with Anne fajita chicken for dinner. Yummy. Anything in moderation!

Volume and calories consumed daily
BlueCrush replied to NYCNomad's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I ask for a box and take 1/2 home for another meal. ... Or I split an adult sized meal with my 2 year old.
