Amanda. Congrats. That's amazing. I've been sleeved three weeks. Can you share what you eat, how often, how much and any exercises you may perform.

I need to exercise more! I use the elliptical 3 times a week but I need to increase that up to 5 days a week and go longer. I'll be honest, I don't eat much at all. Around 800 calories a day. My biggest issue is beer. I am not suppose to drink anything for a year and I've drank several times. It's empty calories!!! Ugh.

Just came from my 3 month post-op appt. I'm down 52lba since surgery on 12/17/13. I actually just started out working with a trainer last week, after not working out the first three months. I know it's time for me to get myself on track with my exercise but I am still proud of my weightloss thus far.

Lol. Yes beer is empty calories but they have low cal ones. Do you get drinker quicker? I heard you do. I'm working out 3-4 days per week but mine seems to be coming of so slowly. I see inches coming off but the scale isn't reflecting that. I don't eat much either so one would think the weight would be coming off more. Any suggestions?

I'm down 71 as of this morning. The only suggestion I have is be consistent. Chose what you eat very wisely, ESP since you can't eat much. I get into habits where I eat the same thing. For months I have eaten one can of chicken noodle Soup. It fills me up and is low in calories! I thought I would be sick of soup after that liquid diet but I still love it. It doesn't hurt my stomach.

I've been walking and lifting weights and eating hardly nothing. I get in plenty of liquids though. I feel it's stalling. I thought the first few months it came off quickly. In three weeks I'm only down ten pounds. Am I doing something wrong?? I see inches melting away but the scale is on slow motion.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
