  • Brenda, you will be fine! I was pretty scared before I was sleeved (12/2013) but it went very smoothly and it's been probably the best single decision I have ever made. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of re-coup time. My doc said I would be up & back at work within a few days but really it was almost 7 days before I…

  • Congrats on your sleeve and good luck! My way to get good protein was to find a really good shake - I ended up with the premiere protein shakes from costco. 30g protein and 160 cals / 4-5 carbs. I had one for breakfast every day and usually one as an afternoon or evening snack. My other "regular protein meal" was egg…

  • Hi all, I was sleeved in December of 2013 (about 14 months ago) and have lost 210 pounds - yep - 210 pounds in about a year. I followed up the sleeve with about a 700 a day diet for the first few months then up to 1000 for the rest of the time. I also started a serious exercise regimen of walking, biking & free weights 5-6…

  • jmapes9, what sort of exercises are you doing, if I can ask? Just to get a sense... Thanks all for the responses... I only log cardio walking (using runtastic) but that being said... since I am maintaining I don't walk quite as vigorously as I did when I was actively losing weight. So I walk about a 15min mile which I…

  • Thanks sooo much! It's great to hear how people are living with their sleeves years later!

  • I find maintaining much much easier, but it's not without its own challenges. When I was actively losing weight, I was on a roll. I was doing less than 1200 calories a day, exercising 5-6 days a week. Sometimes twice a day even! I was a fairly consistent loser (ha!) on that path. When I stopped trying to lose weight, I…
    in Is maintaining weight, just as hard as losing weight? Comment by rosenkrantzz March 2014
  • My original goal was 225 and when I hit that goal I took the family to Ireland for 2 weeks. I kept going and reset my goal to 175 but ended up at 160. I bought a metric ton of new clothes.

  • It does! Thanks! I am committed to maintaining my exercise goals and current weight. I find I look forward to the days I exercise and feel great afterwards!
    in How do I know what my daily calories should be to maintain? Comment by rosenkrantzz March 2014
  • Thanks! I seem to hover at between 159-163 over the space of the last 4 months, I tend to stay at around 161-162 most days. Yeah I think I have (so far) a good handle on maintaining but I plan to stay vigilant. I guess I was wondering if my exercise regimen (recumbent bike) is really burning many calories? I never know how…
