So I had my first appt with the doc today and I've lost 24 pounds so far.

Yay! lol

Hi Kermit

So glad to hear that the meds are helping, it sucks not to feel good after all of this.

I still have trouble getting the Protein and Water in, I just can't take that much in. I'm off today so I'm headed out to find some more protein foods. I need to get more in, but it is tough.

So how are you doing on the weight loss? I' pleasantly surprised at the amount that has come off. I need to get moving and get myself back into shape. I had 2 weeks before surgery where I did not get enough excersize and now 2 more weeks. I feel flabby, so I started walking 2 miles and will get more serious when I feel a little better.

Are you only checking your weight once a week? That is a good idea, but I'm one of those who weighs everyday!

Good luck!!

Right now I'm doing an hour of cardio a day. When I started it on the 30th, I was only able to walk about 2.25 miles in that amount of time. Now I'm almost to 3 miles in that hour. I'm only doing the treadmill right now. I tried the elliptical for 10 minutes, and couldn't handle it...stomach cramps, etc.

As soon as I'm cleared, I will add weights to the workout. Arms twice a week and legs twice a week.

I know it's so hard to get everything in. I hear those protein bullets are good to use. Have you tried those? When were you sleeved again, the 31st? I feel so much better now that I'm off liquids. So much more energy.

Right now, I'm trying to only weigh once a week...but weighed this morning and it's only moved down 4 ounces. I did do a food transition over the weekend, and did not work out 4 days last week due to low energy, so I'm that worried about it.

Good luck finding some more protein. The greek yogurt is pretty good.
