Congratulations VST Addict. Great news. Keep up the good work and input into the VST site. Good news is always welcome.

We're sleeve twins! Congrats on your 40 lbs. That's great!!!

Thanks everyone for the support and encouraging words! D1, to answer your question, I haven't been doing a lot of calorie counting at this point, just the usual of trying to get in enough protein. It's been a challenge most days to get the protein and water intake up where they should be-I get full so fast, but things are getting easier every week. I don't eat much fruit or veggies, mostly because after I eat protein, there's no room! But I do get in the occasional fruit cup (in juice) or a few prunes. I started out doing a little cardio (treadmill or elliptical 2-3x/week), but that got boring, so now I'm doing Chalean Extreme, by Beachbody. It is mostly strength training, but incorporates cardio 2x/week.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. How soon did you start working out

I was cleared to start cardio about a month out, I think--weights took a couple of weeks longer...have you already had the surgery?

carbgrl--I forgot to reply to you earlier--hey twin! it looks like our goals are pretty similar as well...

Yes i had surgery on May 1st

I knew you would make it....yaaaay! We are real close in our weight loss. I was 3 months yesterday, 44 lbs since surgery! Congrats to you , keep up the good work!

Thanks, Kimmy--we have the same surgery date too! Keep it up, you're more than halfway there!

I hope I am as successful as the rest of you in 3 months. 40lbs would be so awesome!
