Very encouraging. I'd love to hear a bit about some tools you've used to make such a difference.

I followed my nutritionists plan and as soon as my doctor cleared me for the gym I started exercising and working out. On my right wrist I am wearing a fitbit flex which monitors steps,calories, etc. I recommend some kind of good pedometer. My doctor advised me to walk at least 2 miles a day. I now walk between 4-6 a day. Keeping your heart rate up is key.

It's not bad. I have a little on my arms but it's not that noticeable. Working out helps with loose skin.

Great job Matt. We had almost the exact same starting weight. I was 401. You're doing great and looking good. Keep it up.

How far out are you?

How far out are you?

I'm 17 months post op now. Just had my TT 10 days ago. Someone else asked about excess skin. I had quite a bit around my waist line....there was no avoiding that for me...I had a real big belly. But other than that it's not a problem. I've done alot of working out and alot of running. The lowest I got was 217 but mostly fluctuate around 220-225. But now that I'm post TT I can see abs so I'm not overly concerned with how much I weigh.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
