thank you.

Thank you, Good luck to you and your journey. looking forward to seeing your progress.

if you don't mind me asking how tall are you and what was your highest weight and how many calories did you consume from start till now?

Thank you, I must agree that exercise is important, because when you loose the weight and exercise the skin gets a chance to go back. Your skin is elastic and you may have some left over saggy skin but that is least to be expected and my opinion for the ones who don't exercise they will have a lot more excess skin hanging from them. Slow and steady wins the race and as long as Iam loosing weight or inches I am very happy cause I know I am succeeding and will get to where I want to be. I wish you the best and can't wait to see more of your progress.

Thank you, your recovery depends on you. get up walk around as much as possible after surgery, it took me 2 - 3 days to start feeling better but i did not walk around as much as I should have. i am a baby when it comes to pain. as for exercising I joined a gym in Feb and go three days a week. i have lost 36lbs and I did not count the inches, but I am down 6 pants sizes from 22/24 to a size 18. which I am slowly working my way out of. Slow and steady really does win the race. I also watch what I eat. I watch how many calories I put in my mouth along with protein (Important) carbs and fiber I all so take a vitamin every day and drink protein shakes. which is something you will need after your surgery I heard unjury was good but to expensive for me. so i went to my local GNC store and bought some there. good luck to you and keep intouch. I will add you as a friend.

Recovery time is about 3 days but it all depends on you. I do Exercise started in February of 09 and I eat lots of Turkey and turkey burger, Chicken, Pork. I try to stay away from my red meats ( I love them but not as healthy as the others). I also eat flatbread which you can find in your local grocery store and it is 90 calories and 8 carbs. I eat noodles called Dreafields here is the website Dreamfields Pasta, Healthy nutrition frequently asked questions You can't even tell the difference in the noodles very good. Also there is a coupon on the website for a dollar off yout first box.

I do excerise 3x a week Monday, Wed & Friday. There are days I push myself harder to burn more calories. Good luck to you and your journey.
