Hello,

So tomorrow will be 15 weeks post-op. I started out at 241lbs the day before surgery and am now at 197. thus this far I havent really worked out on a regular basis other then mowing the lawn or taking the little to the park and zumba once a week. I got my treadmill set up last night so I will start jogging and eventually running. I need some help on how to get rid of the lower abdominal pooch. and making sure I dont have wings on my arms. My pant size was on the rise, I was wearing a 20-22. and a 1x or 2x shirt. I am now at 16-18 pant size and l-xl shirt. But slight problem I dont see it the change yet, will that feeling go away? I want to be able see that I have lost weight, others see it but I cant yet.

I am comfortable with the food I can no longer eat and drinks I cant drink. I feel like I have replaced my food addiction with a SF vanilla iceed coffee addiction (weigh in, bad or okay) I cant drink Water it hurts my stomach but I can drink flavored water, tea, iceed coffee and milk.. weird i know.

I would like suggestions on work outs if you have any.

I am a March sleever and kinda feel the same way. I have told myself that I will have a work/gym/family/life balance, so I only go to the gym 2-3 days a week and YES, I have begun to drink Iced soy latte with sugar free carmel. It is my life saver when I want something punchy

I'm also working on a grant that has prevented me from concentrating on losing weight, so I'm in coast mode. I don't know...I don't worry about it too much. Clothing sizes have been dropping rapidly and I use that as a good measurement to success.
