Hello, all.

Are there any among you with 100+lbs to lose? I have a few questions and I'd like to see how it's going for others like me.

When I got sleeved, I had 143+ to lose -- I'm down about 56ish pounds -- feeling pretty good too

I lost 138lbs in 10.5 months with the sleeve. Ask as many questions as you'd like, we're here to help ! ! !

Tiffykins,

What type of foods did you eat during the losing phase to keep your carbs around 30. I have been paying closer attention to the carbs and am shocked the number of carbs in most foods.

Thanks

I am trying to lose about 230 lbs. Just got sleeved last week. Just hope to keep losing!

meat, cheese, and eggs. Some refried and pinto Beans, but for the most part it was all meat. I used Greek yogurt instead of mayo/miracle whip for tuna/egg/chicken salads, and subbed Greek yogurt for sour cream. The main carbs I ate were from the cheese. I stuck with green beans and broccoli for greens.

Well hello there, if you check out the forum you'll see a lot of us have or had over 100 lbs to lose. Check out my ticker and I still have have about 30 or so lbs left! It's been 10 1/2 months now since my surgery. . .i've been doing good up to now, never any complications and the best part i love missing those clothing sizes. . .tried on a mini skirt last night which had been sitting in my closet for over a year cause it never fit ever, still had tags on it and all. . well put it on and it dropped off. . . guess it wasn't meant to be huh??? Ask away!

You have a lot to lose but you know what? YOU CAN DO IT!!! Just like the rest of us, just get down with it and GO!!! You'll get it once you get used to this thingy! It takes a bit to adjust but just like riding a bike, wobbly in the beginning but a true trooper once you get started! Good luck and keep writing and posting here, it helps alot, especially if you feel down or like you can't go on. . . it's helped me alot. . . even the odd disagreement helps!

I have 125lbs to lose to get to a healthy BMI. I'm down almost 25 and all of that is post-surgery. You are in good company!

I have about 120ish here to lose! Just had surgery last Monday, so i'm not that far in my journey yet Those of you who did have 100+ lbs to lose and are farther along in your journey, what kinds of exercise routine did you follow? I don't have time to exercise 2 hrs a day , but I would like to get this weight off!!

When I reach goal, in total I will have lost nearly 180 Lbs. That's a lot!!!

I'm pert halfway there. I feel great and in charge of my life again. A few bites and I'm full - and SATISFIED. I don't think I really understood what that word meant until only recently, and I'm previously banded - so that's saying tons.

My workout routine is about 30-45 minutes per day about 4-5 days per week. That's nothing for me too. I used to do 2 hrs per day 6 days a week. Glad I don't have to do that anymore!

I was just sleeved on November 10th. I am down 20 lbs since surgery. I am looking to loose 180 more lbs.

So far I am sticking true to the puree diet and getting creative.

I bought a non flavor Protein powder to put into all my pureed food, and I keeping the liquids going in.

One thing I am definitely learning....stay off the scale lol. It can be your worse enemy.

Good luck!!!!

You are correct! "stay off the scale it can be your worse enemy."

I found that I can only weigh on Monday or I am obsessed with what I eat everyday. That has really helped me.

Well, I am still pre-op and started with my ***'s program at 300lbs. I have lost 22 lbs so far on my own, and MY goal for myself would be 165. That would put my total weight loss at 135 pounds. My doctor origionally wanted my goal to be 135. I laughed. I probably weighed that in 5th grade.

But frankly, at this point, I look at it by each meal, each half pound lost, each day being closer to surgery and closer to my goal.

I started at around 260, and would like to get to 140-145 so that will be 115-120 to lose.

I am just 4 months out and have lost 65lbs so far - hoping to get to goal by my 1 yr anniversary.

I lifted weights, isolated a particular body area such as arms and chest one day, the next day was legs, and the next day was shoulders and back. I did one day of hard cardio by doing Hip Hop Abs (it's a 30-40 minute workout). I did one day of lower extremities, calves, forearms, and abs with isolated tonight exercises for those body parts. I never worked out more than 1 hour a day. I hate walking and never got on a treadmill for more than 10 minutes to warm up before lifting.
