Was sleeved July 10th . Best decision of my life . Today is my 28th Birthday and I have never felt healthier . I am down 90 lbs from my heaviest , 70 lbs from my surgery. I finally hit a huge milestone ( for me at least ) the other day of dropping below 300 . That is very hard to post for me because I still have a lot to go and admitting what my weight was is difficult . But change is good . I am so glad I took this journey and continue to work hard each day . Congratulations to everyone else , we are all in this together !!

Thank you ! I eat grilled chicken , salmon , or tuna . I've tried a lot of other things but I try to stick to those . No bread , I don't want to trick myself into thinking I can have it so I've stayed away . I have at least a protein shake a day with some strawberries in it , throw it in the blender . that will help you with the liquids . I struggled through the liquid portion too it's very hard . My protein shakes are only 4 oz so it's easier to get down . Keep your head up it gets better but it's a hard journey , but well worth it !

Starting weight ( eek I don't even wanna say this ) was my highest at 385. I included my preop diet I was 365 ( June 28th). Surgery weight was 351. Current is 296. My goal is 200 , maybe 215 . I'm 5'11.

I go to the gym 5-6 days a week , do interval training on the treadmill for 35 minutes 3x/ week . The other days I do cardio for 30-45 minutes either on the treadmill , stairclimber , or stationary bike ( usually a combo of all 3). Lift weights ( 20-30 lbs) 3x/ week . There's an awesome app called " running for weight loss " I use to help with the interval training .

Thank you ! And I'm glad you couldn't have guessed that lol . I've been blessed with the height and decently proportioned fat lol . It's hard getting into the groove of exercising but now I have to go, I actually enjoy it ! If you live near DC we can be gym buddies lol

Congrats... and Happy birthday:)

You are doing a really great job. I am a Medical Assistant to a bariatric surgeron so I see sucess stories 5 days a week. I recently had the sleeve on 07/30/13 (by the surgeon I have worked beside for 2 years now) so I am 2 months out today! Keep up the great work you should be at your goal in no time! Best of luck to you!

Happy birthday

You look great
