October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!



Recommended Posts

Just had 3 month checkup today. Down 45 lbs since surgery (Oct 15), and 75 since first appointment with surgeon in April -- 9 months ago. BMI is 31.6, down from 42, and I've lost 50% of my excess weight since surgery. Nut upped my calories to 1,000 from 800, and told me to eat it in Protein and carbs. My prealbimum from my blood labs was a 17 on a normal scale of 17-35, so I'm burning all of the protein I'm eating--thus the increase. I'm working out 3-5 days per week. Surgeon and Nut were both VERY happy with me, and said I was a "star patient!" Hw: 286 Sw: 256 Cw: 211 Gw: 185-165 (we'll see)

What is your excercise routine right now? I've been doing 30 minute treadmill with various inclines at 3.5mph or 30 minutes on the excercise bike then 15 minutes of weights for arms and legs then 30 minutes of moderate pace walking on the track.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
