Another reason I love the sleeve!



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share in my joy today. I made it to the gym (go me!) which is no easy feat. I have 2 little ones so the gym means daycare for the littler-little and it also means transporting us there, etc. Not exactly enticing.

BUT>.... I swear, since having the sleeve and losing the weight I have WANTED to work out. WANTED to take walks, be outside, be active. Never before could I say "Gee I feel like going to the gym"... in fact I would create reasons why I couldn't make it there.

Also, I think that me knowing that a simple 30 minute workout results in for SURE weightloss is a very inspriring thing! Before I would work out super hard, blow my "diet" and not lose anything :(

So.... here's to our sleeves! CHEERS!!! lol

Woohoo for working out. I actually volunteered to mow the yard today, totally not something I wanted to do 50 lbs ago ;)

And I am dragging my butt to the gym tomorrow ;)

Ohmygosh! That's such a great point! I don't know how many times I've worked out and then felt STARVING! But my hunger is so much less with the sleeve, so I can work out AND benefit from the extra calorie burn!!!

Congrats! I know the feeling, I had to force myself to go to the gym the other day. I skipped yesterday because of cramps, but your post has inspired me to go today and try and work through the cramps. lol Kudos!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
