I agree you look Fab~U.. What exercise plan did you incorporate to your new life style?

I cannot really contribute my weight loss success on exercise. During weight loss, honestly, it was very light. Usually only Pilates. And not a lot of it. I was just lucky and don't really have loose skin. I just started doing squats to firm my butt up a little, but otherwise I'm not really flabby anywhere and I have a pretty tight tummy too. I'm about to start running though, but mostly because I have so much energy now and I need to get it out! I know that sounds silly. But starting running will mostly only be because I want to be in the best cardiovascular health. And by the way, I don't encourage others to exercise as little as I did. I have just always been in the mindset of diet 90% and exercise is 10%. It isn't like that for everyone. I think I just got lucky.

I am interested in your exercise regimen and how many carbs in the wgt loss phase?

Read my above reply about the exercise. As for carbs during weight loss, very little. Max of 25 I'd say. I eat much higher than that now to maintain. My dietician and surgeon are very serious about carbs during weight loss.

Did you have cheat days? Cheat meals?

A cheat day, absolutely not. Why cheat for an entire day? Sounds like a big fat recipe for disaster. :) Cheat meals, yes. Not many, and I made up the calories elsewhere. I did have treats, but healthier treats. Not a Snickers bar. :)

Jenny, you look amazing! I wanted to say thanks because you were a huge help and inspiration to me on my journey. We share the same surgeon and you were so great about answering questions.

I am thrilled to say things went ridiculously smoothly. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I've lost 24.4 pounds.

From one shortie to another, thank you so very much!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
