I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

Thanks.. well I started at 353 sooooo I knew it was gonna be a lil faster at the beginning. I eat every 3 hrs about 3-3.5 ozs at a time. I drink tons of Water and theres only been few times ive gone under 80 grams of Protein a day. I stick with lower carb options. I mostly eat meat and cheeses. Havnt incorporated much veggies and fruit into my diet bc I focus on protein first so I rather fill up on steak than peas.. yanno? I dont "cheat" and havnt fiven myself and food rewards. I figure I can relax when im at a more desirable weight. I walk at least 5 days a week around 1.5miles... I track my steps with my fit bit zip... andi go to the gym 2xs a week for strength training for an hour.

Are you on myfitness pal? If so look for me im michelleooo513... I aim to get 800-900 cals a day. My sugar for tgr day is always less than 15.. not intentionally. . My carbs are usually lower than 40 a day and my fat grams is usually around 40 a day also.. I try to keep axtive but yesterday I did absolutely nothing all day but work and come home. I make sure I carry my water everywhere and I drink 24ozs between every meal.. I dont drink 30 mins prior to a meal and I wait an hour aftwr to drink also

The main thing I would say is that you are going to feel really weak and tired and no energy for about a month or month and a half, but it will pass and you will start feeling better than you have all your life! Just do everything exactly as the Dr says and you will do great!

Oh and btw no I dont eat any yogurt. I dont like it anymore. And milk.. I dont drink it unless im low on cals for the day. And about having no energy.. I was one of the wierd ones that had no pain and was back at it 4 days post op. I wasnt 100% but damn near it.
