My six week followup was today. I was so happy to see how happy the doctor and his staff was with my progress. My nutritionist was also blown away by my daily Protein,calorie, and carb intake sans shakes. I am down 42 pounds since December 1 and 26 since my surgery date of December 14.

I am clear to add strength training and running to my current exercise routine. And, best of all, I get to add fresh fruit and raw veggies again. I ran to Whole Foods to buy blueberries, blackberries, and asparagus just after the visit!:laugh0:

Congratulations, that is such good news!!! You are doing so well on your journey.

Way to go sleeve sister!

I'm at a 28 pound loss (I think). I wasn't weighed the day of surgery so can't be positive. I'm using the last weight I knew of before I left for my trip to Mexico.

You're doing great!

Good for you twobluecats! My next doctor appt is Feb 16th and that is when i weigh in. . i haven't weighed in since my 1st week followup . . so this should be interesting. . . I'll be able to add fruits and veggies too! I'm so excited. . . this has been a good journey so far, and i'm so happy i did this!

Yay!!! Congratulations on 6 weeks and "real" food. 42 lbs down is AWESOME!! Way to go :laugh0:

I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. Way to go, Theresa! Can't wait to see you on the 16th!

Twobluecats, this is a great report to read. My program doesn't allow protein shakes or supplements but wants us to get all of our protein requirements from food. I'd love to read about what you eat over the course of a day or two. Do you post your food anywhere?

Thanks! I post on myfitnesspal.com. If you sign up and "friend" me then I think you can see my daily journal of food.
