September Was Your Progress?

[LadyK 164]

I was sleeved on 9/27/12 and my total weight loss from my presurgical testing appointment (9/20/12) to now is 67 lbs. All of my clothes are too big, I was a 6 or 7X in tops and a 42-44 bottoms,and those were getting tight before surgery. Now I can see my hourglass coming back and I am a 4x in bottoms, and a 4x in tops, the waist of everything is too big. I am eating about 1000-1200 calories a day, and I use my fitness pal to balance the calories according to exercise for the day, I feel great!!

*edit* Forgot to say, I tried on one of my husband's 3X t shirts and it fit normal and wasn't tight! WooT!

for those that are stalled, think about how many grams of Protein we consume a day. the doc really opened my eyes today, he claimed not enough protien= not enough metabolism!

sleeved Sept 20 started at 234 now 185. I only step on the scale once a week. 49 down no Pre-diet. Lots and lots of Protein Shakes. They say the first year is your anorexia year. Be very pick about what you stick in your mouth. At first I mourned food, Now I kinda hate it for everything I had to go through because my addiction to it. This was the best gift I ever gave myself. I hope everyone else keeps optimistic

I was sleeved 9/26, I have lost 35 pounds and just started feeling really good. Dancing around good. It started about a week ago. I hate to admit that I had been so weak and tired in the weeks before surgery that my apartment had gotten to the state of chaos. I was too tired to do much laundry, housecleaning or cooking. I was not able to stand for more than a few minutes and then would have to sit down. Sometimes I took a barstool into the kitchen so I could do the dishes.

I have finally reached the point that I can walk about a mile with only one break of about 5 minutes. I can walk all the way to Walmart buy something and then sit outside at some picnic tables they have setup out front. And all this in less than 45 minutes. I haven't really timed it but my boyfriend said maybe 45 minutes.

And today I noticed that my knees didn't hurt when I went down the stairs. I've been able to get up the stairs for a while without pain. Now I have lost enough that I can go down the stairs too.

I am starting to feel my bones through my fat now. And I can jump off the couch and run in and do housework between commercials when I'm watching TV.
