Before and after 105 pound loss

[mariamitani 405]

Wow u look great!! I had my sleeve 6 days ago and I really think I'm doing good. I'm still using my pain meds some but I'm getting a lot better. I still feel swollen in my abdomen and I know that is normal. But how long will it take for the swelling to go down?? All I want is room temp Water.

Congrats I'm so happy for you. Every body is different. It took me about a month for it to go down maybe a 2 months. Keep up your Protein ,water ,Vitamins and exercise if you can. good luck

Wow!!! You look amazing!!! Congrats!! I am coming up on 8 months out and am down around 80 lbs but I am struggling lately eating right and staying full. I would love to know what your average meal plan for the week is. I know my stall and up and down is because of what i am eating and i need a good plan of suggestions to get me jump started again!!

I am now 175 and have increased my calories from 800 to 1000. I exercise 5 days a week for and hour. Eat Protein first that's what will get you full.If you get hungry again eat cheese stick or cottage cheese. Make sure you dont have heart burn because that can give you the sensation of hunger.Also if you are dehydrated you will mistake that for hunger too. Drink a big glass of Water when you feel hungry but shouldnt be. I have allot of steak , chicken salads . I usually eat whatever is available but in portions. drink 64 oz Water a day it makes a big difference. Make sure you get in enough Protein and take your Vitamins.Good luck and thank you for the sweet comment

You look amazing!! Such an inspiration!! I am in my Pre-op stage and seeing your amazing progress has motivated me even more! How did you loose so much in that time? Did you also exercise to get yourself to where you are now? One of my fears is am I going to have a lot of extra skin after.... Definitely working out helps and looking forward to my new beginning!

Im gonna be very honest with you because thats what I would want. I do have loose skin not as much as I thought(thank god). I lost the first 90 pounds no exercise. Then when I noticed my arms getting loose skin I forced my self to the gym and started a routine. Each body is different so start exercise early! lifting weights is a great thing to start incorporating in your exercise routine. My arms have transformed from lifting weights. I still have loose skin but they look sculpted and firmer. I do heavy upper body weight lifting 3 days a week and lower body weight lifting 2 days a week. Cardio after the lifting. Ive lost 113 pounds as of today and have 25 more to go. Not sure how my skin will look when I get there. Start exercising early on make it a habit , a part of your new life. Good luck

Thank you so much for your kind words I followed my surgeons rules of 800 calories max a day , 70 Protein , 64 oz Water , Vitamins. I didn't start exercising till around 90 pounds was lost. But I recommend you start exercising as soon as you can. I do have some loose skin and lifting weights has made a big difference. Congrats to you on getting the sleeve !!!

was it hard for u in the beginning im having a hard time and im four weeks out

Yes it was. The first 3 months for me were tuff. I was very tired all the time no energy. My stomach was sore and swelled for the first 2 months.I had gastritis and had to take omaprazole for 8 weeks. As the weeks past and I could get in more Protein and calories a day I felt better. It is not easy in the beginning but you will feel normal soon and forget how hard it was in the beginning. The most important thing is Water. sip,sip,sip. Keep water close to you at all times. I still have a hard time getting enough water in! Keep up on your protein very important. Get your blood checked too. Take it day by day. Good luck
