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

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
