Fred,

To be honest whatever I want and not a lot of it.... I haven't been in the gym much. I eat what I want but very small amounts and I eat about every 3 to 4 hours.

Awesome. That gives the rest of us new Sleevers hope

Sleeved on 6/25...I am down 73 total, 24 of this was preop. My bmi is improving. My land were good except my Iron is low and I need to raise my good cholesterol. Loosing some hair, but thankfully my hair is thick so not a problem yet. Feel pretty good other then a little fatigue from the iron. Cold a lot which is strange to me since I used to get hot real easy. But again That is a side effect of low iron. Feeling pretty good about things. Definitely glad I did this.

I have gone from 282 to 209.... onederland is in site!

Congratulations Fred, you are doing so well.

Kae2, I am cold as Well but my iron levels aren't low. My husband says the surgeon must have operated on my temperature centre! LOL.

You inspire me with your stories! Congrats on your successes!

That is awesome!

Hey Fred...I think you're screwing with the statistics a bit by making such good progress! I was sleeved the day after you and have lost no where near that amount in spite of my rigor in sticking to the plan.

Before someone jumps in here to "fuss" at me for comparing our losses to each other, let me just say I am pointing these differences out NOT to rue the fact that I'm losing slower but rather to show just how different [not at all a negative] we all are. Not only am I thrilled with my own losses but am also thrilled for you, Fred, for your awesome losses! In my opinion, we are BOTH succeeding in our journeys.

Congrats on your awesome progress!

Wtg!! I'm 12 wks and have lost 18 lbs. Whoopty doo. I now feel embarrassed...

Marfar7- hang in there. Keep following the plan. The loss will come. We all started with different sizes and conditions and all will lose at diff rates. I have had moments of frustration but then the loss comes or inches come off. Take measurements when you don't see numbers you want. ..it often is still dropping there

As far as my diet goes I work deep nights 12 hour shifts so my food choices aren't the regular ones. I will eat a lot of protein through out the night while I'm working. I may bake pork chops or chicken and I take it to work for the next 3 days, and eat off that until I'm done. I will make a side, just what ever I want sometimes it may be potato salad with more protein in it. Some times for snacks I will eat the special K chips or the Quaker popped rice snacks. I still eat pizza either home made or from dominoes my favorite. I don't have the healthiest meals I know but at most meals I can't even finish a whole slice of pizza, I can't eat more than 2 hot wings , when I eat my meals I take weekly, I don't even eat the whole piece of meat in one setting it takes me all night to finish out a couple of pieces. When I eat my sides its a couple spoonfuls. I have no secret except that I'm just eating what I want and smaller portions of it. I have still had days or weeks of stalls. I believe my body gets all the credit here . I know my results aren't typical but at least 32 of the pounds I lost were in pre op diet stage.

So if you are feeling down or bad about your loss don't because our body's are so different. At work I stay very active and I'm doing a lot of walking,and it appears to help out a lot. I know I need to get back in to the gym to keep my muscles strong but memberships are very expensive these days so I'm waiting on that. Just like everyone I have always had a weight problem and I have struggled with every type of diet , exercise program, you name it I was a pro at it but I couldn't keep the weight off. I lost weight fast then only to fail months or years later. I'm not sure if this time will be permanent or better than before. I'm praying that everything works out for myself and everyone of you that fight this war everyday with me. All praise to God for keeping us strong during our times of need. If I could wave a magic wand we would all be healthy. So please keep trying your hardest and don't give up. Thank you everyone for all your support.
