I am 5'8, 377 pounds was my starting weight I am down to 223 today.



That's awesome! I am starting at a little less, but I hope to have as much success as you! Any advice for post surgery success? I'm scheduled for June 14

Just follow everything the doctor says and exercise I try to work out at least 5-6 days a week. It really sped up the process for me! Good luck! I'm so happy for you, you'll do great!

You look great! I had surgery Oct 3 in Mexico with Dr. Cabrera (awesome), just over 5 mths ago. My starting wt: 350 CW: 227 I am 5ft3. I have alot of loose skin and am trying to keep extra hydrated to help with that. I do 30 min cardio and 40 min resistance bands. YOU LOOK AWESOME. I also am curious as to what exercises you are doing and other things to skin looking good.[emoji109][emoji109][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

I definitely plan on working out often. I lost 110lbs before with just diet and exercise, but I just don't feel like I can do it again on my own. What kind of workouts do you do? I used to do 45min cardio and weights alternating arms and legs each day.

This is so awesome! Congrats! And thanks for the motivation:) I feel like I'm looking into my future! I had the sleeve done 1/31/17 and just had my 2nd post op follow up Appt and I'm down 33lbs since surgery putting me at 53lbs overall in about two months. I'm a polynesian dancer so I do hardcore cardio workouts with my team two hours twice a week and go to the gym 3-4 times a week. You look fantastic!!!

You look great! I'm scheduled for 2 weeks from tomorrow. What type of exercise are you doing? I plan on spinning for my cardio, but the nearest gym I have is an hour away and so the strength training is what I'm concerned about. Any suggestions and what do you do for strength training?

I lift every day, not heavy lifting though. I take 10 pound weights and do all different types of arm workouts, squats and leg presses for my legs.. and much more.

      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! 😞
