I am getting sleeved July 18th and have a trip to Aruba scheduled for December 10th. I want to accelerate my weight loss to the greatest extent possible before my trip. There are so many of you who have had awesome quick results. Would you mind answering a few questions?

Diet - were you strict low carb? count carbs? ate what sounded good but small portions? other?

Exercise - did you exercise? if so what kind i.e. cardio, walking, jogging, weights? how often?

Other - do you have any other things you contribute to your success?

Thanks!

Ive lost 31lbs since June 1st - I was sleeved June 9th - since the 9th I have lost 24 lbs

Since my surgery I have been eating basically 0% fat Greek Yogurt - Fage is a good brand. You can mix with Splenda for taste if you like. Also, Progresso Light Soups in the blender so there will be no chunks. Campbells Select Harvest is really good too. I eat 2oz at a time, 3 times a day.... and do sugar free popsicles as a filler in between - WORKS GREAT! I also do 2 Protein drinks, Mid morning - and a few hrs before dinner. 25 grams each to give me 50 for the day. ( i need 40-60). Highly recommend the GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 - leanest that i have found and tastes good. (chocolate tastes like choc milk )

My Dr says to walk 10-20 min right after eating. So I follow orders! One time I didnt... and felt the difference Walking right after helps it settle, and helps you burp etc if you need to. I highly recommend it.

I must be doing something right 31 lbs since June 1 baby! Good luck you will do great!!!!

Wow you are doing great! Thanks for the tips

If your surgery is July 18, you should be right around my surgery weight (232) by then. I have been low-carbing and exercising. I mean really low carb, under 30 a day. I go swimming for 45 minutes twice a week and run for 30 minutes 3 times a week. I am 56, post-menopausal, and have hypothyroidism, so you should be able to do AT LEAST as well as I have, and I expect you'd do better. I had a knee injury that restricted movement in May and the scale showed it--only 4 lbs for the month.

Good luck, and Aruba is beautiful! Go diving or snorkeling!
