6 Months Out, 125 Pounds Down -

  • Popular Post

Just popping in online to update my weightloss tracker. I'm down to 265 from 390 with a VGS surgery date of 1/12/2012. I'm finding I don't come on the site much any more and I'm starting to think some of the other people who are Veteran sleevers don't visit much after they hit their goals. This place is a great for motovation. For those on the fence with fear about it, sometimes you just have to take a chance and do something that will BETTER you.

I have been doing the no carb diet since surgery. I eat as much as I want as long as its not fried, made of white flour, is sugar free, and has little to no carb

Daily:

A muscle milk shake for Breakfast with my Vitamins

Snacking through out the day on Pork Skins, pistachios, Jerky, and many different kinds of cheeses

dinner is some form of primary lean meat (steak, grilled chicken, or fish)

liquids at any given moment are Water, unsweet tea, Vitamin waters, crystal light, and an occational soda (dr pepper 10 or a pepsi next)

I never had a problem with the fluids..I was drinking lemonade with ease hours after surgery. Started working out with a personal trainer after 3 weeks from surgery....its all been cake from there

Wow! Seems today I can get a mouthful of liquids down instead of sipping. After almost 3 weeks of various fluids, I'm trying some puréed Beans today can't wait until Monday which is my third week. I'm learning what too much canned Soup does to my body (water retention). I think I will follow your lead and take up weight lifting. You are an inspiration.

Mr Worm....thank you for an example of a days menu...awesome job!!!

Remember that VSG changes your life..but you don't have to live in misery. I still enjoy foods like I did before, just can't over eat them. I stay away from the bad ones and focus on the ones I know are good for my body. The VSG will open your mind to health which many of us really weren't educated on. For you guys out there, I can still chug a half a beer. I'm doing it right now as I type. Your life doesn't have to end because you be come healthy, you learn to incorporate it. Now mind you, I can't drink a whole bottle of jager any more (I used to be a legendary partier). I'm loopy after 3 shots anymore..makes me a cheaper drunk and the ladies seem to like that!!!!!
