Hi from Boston, MA 5'1" VSG Mass General Hospital HW 230 SW 210 2/10/16 CW 162 4 mos post op

June goals 1. lose 5lbs 2. water, been goofing off 3. more walking

How long since your surgery? I lost 60lbs in 4 months and had quite a turkey neck myself. But in another month or so may weight loss kind of slowed down a bit and my fat redistributed thru out my body, and my neck isn't bad at all.

Wearing heels again and walking 4miles a day. who would have thought!

I ran to the mailbox yesterday to catch the mailman. what, what ,what??? I ran!!!

Hi all, Sleeved 2/10/16. I'm 5' 1" , highest weight 220. Day of surgery 199. Currenty weight is 162 for a total loss of 58lbs in 3 mos and 1 wk. I walk 3x times a week and use treadmill when works hours are longer than expected. Very happy. Used to wear size 22 now I'm wearing 12's Latest NSV Just came back from Mexico and…

3 months post sleeve all I can manage is 600 - 750. Nutritionist's guidelines are 60% protein, 20% carbs 20%fat working well down 43 since surgery.

Thanks Sunshine, I feel better knowing I'm not alone. Although I'm my condolences on your dilemma. Murphyraven, I consume on average 50-60 grams of protein a day and drink 64ozs of water each and every day. Maybe it's the raid change in diet or perhaps the increase in calcium thru green veggies and supplements.

Officially have nothing in my closet that fits! And I met m son's future mother in law for the first time and didn't feel totally embarrassed by my size:)

I was only allowed soft veggies and soups protein shakes and yogurt till 4 weeks out

No I use them for toning and weight loss.

fish, tuna,very lean beef, chicken, skim milk, water, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, carrots. salsa, avocado, greek yogurt, berries, apples, bananas. low fat string cheese, legumes, salad, peppers, onions, cukes, zucchini. water, decaf tea and coffee.

1. 10lbs this month 2. water, water, and more water 3. more exercise 4. more sleep

Wearing mediums. Haven't worn this size since my thirties... I'm closing in on 60.

Well it's the 31st and I fell short of the 15lbs by 2 and you know what who cares. I say let's start an April Goal Thread!

My goals are lose 15 so far 10.2 still have a few more days. more treadmill, doing it every day!! drinking all my water, doing better lol

Me too. I'm just 1 month out from a VSG with very little exercise due to RA and I've lost 33lbs.

Unfortunately I buy it online. buy a two for one and it lasts quite awhile.

I can wear leather boots regular woman's boots calves are small enough to fit!!

1. lose 15lbs it's just one month since being sleeved and I'm hungry all the time. 2. start walking longer on the treadmill. 3. Drinking all my water. it so hard lately to get that 60 ozs

Her Whey Vanilla cupcake is delicious, yes I said it delicious. My nutritionist turned me on to it and I wouldn't try any other brand.

congratulations Bob!!

First week was a little hard but by the second week you're doing ok and you're losing weight so that's cool. I'm 2 weeks post sleeve and between the pre op diet and surgery I'm down 25lbs. So definitely do the pre op diet.:)

This month will be life changing for me. Surgery on the 10, and by months end I will be healing and on my way to a new way of eating for the rest of my life.

Simply put: You can never be over dressed or over educated. Dress conservatively for business/finance abd you'll never go wrong. First impressions are very important in the business world.

In work in Boston, in shock having learned that my 2 cousins were on the first plane

Yipeeeee!

Diver, What a great feeling to be told by your doctor that you've done something good for yourself. I applaud your success! Many more to come I'm sure, Elle

Whoa look at you! I worked my butt off and lost 30lbs in 3 months... What have ou been up too?

I eat 1/2 of a lg potato at least 3x a week. I switch up my carbs, Although I only season them with a little salt and pepper. They're delish and filling. And it hasn't hurt my numbers. I'm with the spud eaters:)
