I have lost 95 lb from 335 lb on july 2nd and have gone from a size 48 to a size 38 pant size.

It has been a lot of work to eat cleanly, take supplements, drink enough and get the daily exercise in. Weight loss is definitely slowing down, but that just means I need to up the workout intensity.

Goal is 60 more lbs to go and also to have a muscular body.

Feels good to be back in the 38s...

Good for you! All the hard work will be worth it.

Good for you. I'm in the 38's also. You're doing great.

95 pounds in three months!!! I wanna be like you

Great job!

Awesome

Sent from my EVO using VST

Now at 4.5 months, at 115 lbs. most weight was lost during the first 2 months. 5-12 lbs lost in month 3 and 4.

The best advice I can offer new sleeves:

1. Follow your doctors plan

2. If you have a NUT, listen well and follow your NUTs plan.

3. Do not give into temptation. It will get easier after a few weeks.

4. Drink as much Water as possible all day when not eating. I try and hit 125 oz a day. Sometimes I get too busy and do not, but I try.

5. Eat as much Protein that your body can successfully process. I eat up to 150 grams a day, averaging about 125 grams daily.

6. Eat as few carbs as possible. I try and get under 20 grams daily.

7. Eat as little fat as possible. I don't really track this, but do try and minimize it.

8. Take supplements daily. I take a bunch mainly because I rarely eat veggies and do not eat fruit. For example, c, d, fish oil, Calcium, Multivitamin, b50 complex b12. Vitamin c helps with absorption so I take extra around eating.

9. Exercise at least an hour a day. If not cleared for cardio or weights, walk a lot. For example I walked 4 times a day which added up to 3-4 hours. Start slow and build up your endurance, speed and hills. I still walk about an hour a day with my dog mainly out of enjoyment on top of my exercise program. I try and exercise effectively for 45 min to 1 hour a day. I do some weight training, but am still working on that.

10. sleep 7-8 hours minimum. Even though this is 10, it is super important. If sleeping enough, your body is happy and the weight melts off, often without a lot of exercise. If you don't sleep enough, your body stresses out and olds onto fat, sort of a fit or flight response all the time. It is not healthy and will also lead to irritability, stressing out,etc.

11. Eat a super food supplement. These are super rich in antioxidants, fruit, greens and Probiotics. I mix in 1 small scoop a day from GNC. It is not the best tasting, but I am doing it for health.

12. Get regular. Constipation and blockage is not only uncomfortable, but slows down your metabolism, marine a car engine full of gunk. It is not going to run optimally. The same applies to your digestive track. You will feel 1000 x better and have a million x more energy if your digestive track is clear of gunk.

I do not find it very difficult to follow the guidelines. However, expect that it may take a few weeks to develop good habits post op.

Hope this helps.
