Lets stay in touch guys, if there is a forum for us already please point me to it, otherwise, I'll start:

Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

VSG ON 3....1 2 3 VSG!!!! Let's get it!!!!

So, my Nut told me last week to up my calories from 800 to 1,000, focusing on adding protein and carbs, and adjusting my percentage breakdown to 40 protein, 40 carbs and 20 fat (I was doing 40 protein, 30 carbs and 30 fat).

I've lost a steady three lbs a week since surgery -- until this week -- when I lost FIVE lbs. I'm not getting the whole 1,000 in -- closer to 950. It's been nice to add in more fruits and veggies for the carbs. I'm eating leafy greens now!

Anywho, just wanted to note here that my body responded BIG TIME to the additional healthy calories.

Iowa:

I do an hour of cardio (usually jogging/running intervals on treadmill 3.5 jog per hour/5.5 run per hour, 0 incline) three times a week, and an hour of strength training (mostly body weight -- pushup, pullups, lunges, squats, some free weights) two times a week.

How many calories is everyone eating now? I'm still eating 5-600 calories a day.

I just had my 3 month appt. And my dr. Wants me to try to get between 1000-1200 per day. He want me to reduce my shakes. He said to watch veggies right now and salad.

You guys sound like your doing well.

Congratulations all around!

I am 3.75 months out.

Down between 65-70 pounds depending on my scale or the hospital scale(70)

Stalled a lil this week. I think I am constipated. Doing my Miralax.

Upping my workouts. Going back to a shake Meal Replacement once a day.

Have to say clothes are hanging on me. Just bought some size 40 pants, and some shirts , size LARGE,!
