I had the sleeve, surgery was much easier than I thought it would be. Surprised me how great I felt and how soon.

I'm 34 and 5'7. I am starting to see loose skin and I don't think any amount of working out will help it....but honestly, it doesn"t bother me at all, I've learned quite a while ago to love my body , whatever it may look like.

I do work out. I started late, did mostly just walking for the first 3 months. At about 4 months post op I started the gym and hated it. Sooo instead of attempting to drag myself to something I hated, I found things I like instead. I tried a fitness class and I loved it. So I've been doing about 4 to 5 one hour classes a week (anything from Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Spin, weight class, kickboxing...)

The key for me was finding things I like doing.

I'm 5'7 and I don't really have a goal weight other than wanting to be at a healthy BMI. That would bring me to 159, so I guess that is my goal and once I reach it, I may reassess.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
