I was sleeved on April 8 I just weighed myself and I'm down 97.5 pounds!!!!!!!! I've worked my but off literally to get where I am. 4am work outs full time job followed by a 7pm work out. But I feel so great never in a million years did I think I would every take a picture of myself and think I look pretty. It's crazy yes I know but it's true. I am slowly learning to stop beating myself up and learning how to say thank you when someone gives me a complement. I'm so close to hitting 100lbs down I can't wait. Well that's all thanks for listening good night!!!!!!

Pix from the color run in March of this year the other is from a few weeks ago!!

Wooow!!! You look amazing! How long was it before you felt you had energy to do workout?. I am sooo sluggish and cannot make my self do it. I was severely dehydrated and got 2 bags of fluids and still no energy. I am going on 6 weeks post op. Any suggestions would help. Thanks & congrats!!!

Thanks I appreciate that!!! Well fortunately for me I just have a very high tolerance for pain and I usually bounce back from injuries our surgery pretty fast. I don't like being held back even when I'm sick I'm up moving around getting stuff done because that's just me. But after the surgery the only real pain I was in was the gas coming out of my body. My boss had this done a year ago and he gave me the best advise. WALK, WALK, WALK WHEN YOUR TIRED WALK, WHEN YOU'RE IN PAIN WALK so as soon as the nurse came in my room the next morning I asked if I could go for a walk she was very surprised but said ok. After the hospital well like 5 days after surgery I started going to the gym. I did mainly cardio for the first 6 weeks. Two times a day. Every day I feel sluggish but I have found that when I work out I am so energized. On those days I'm to tired to get out of bed I so regret it because I'm so tired all day. Also Vitamins really help make sure your takingthem every day. I do everything possible to get in some sort of exercise in. When I'm sitting at my desk I do leg lifts, if I'm laying down watching TV I'll do leg raises. There are so many ways to get in exercise but mostly you have to make a habit of it. I'm so used to getting up at 330am that it's normal for me. I'm normally in bed by now but sometimes that isn't possible. Just stick with it push your self I know how you feel I really do I wad even sick from the dehydration but I hydrated myself and pushed forward. Once I'm on the treed mill and after the first 3 minutes I slowly increase the speed by 13 minutes I'm on about 1.5 miles. Sick with it I promise it gets easier

Your post came right on time! The last two weeks I've been getting up at 3:45 and 5am to work out. That is the only time, because I have so many family duties when I get home from work in the afternoons and too.. tired to workout. I needed your inspiration! You gave be a renew energy that this is what I have to do. No pain.. No gain.. Lololol. I was sleeved on July 10th. Working out 5 days a week.. And hoping it will get easier. Thank you for encouragement.

That's great I'm glad and how hope that you stick with your morning work outs. Make it a habit and you will notice how it just becomes part of your morning routine. Try and find someone willing to get up with you. My cousin and get boyfriend wakes up every morning and meets me at the gym. After work if they can't make it my best friend is willing to fill in. And on the weekends as well. I am very careful about what I eat I try to stay away anything that has zero Protein. And no nutritional value, keep up the good work stay committed and you will see the results. Remember it's a tool for weight loss not the solution!! :-) good luck and God Bless

Wow! I think you're gonna set a record for rapid weight loss! I think the cocci stent exercise really helps. You'll be joining the century club any day now!

Congratulations!

I was scratching my head when I read that wondering if that's what you really meant to write lol don't worry I've done that before. I once posted something I meant to write I swallowed a piece of gum well when I went back and looked at the post I had posted I swallowed a piece of him lol so I understand

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
