Before 278 lbs After 150 lbs

Thanks everyone!!! I simply could not be happier! The hard work....the measuring the logging all worth it!

As of today I have 19 pounds to goal!

I am at 8 months out and loosing about 2lbs a week. The nut has me on a 950 calorie max with 100 protein and 60 carbs. I am burning 500-800 calories 5 days a week

I am not on BP medicine and all my vitamins were just checked. Everything is fine. Thanks Pennysteed

VSG was chosen in my case because of the IBS issues I have in relation to vitamins. RNY need more vitamins and increases the chance of me having more IBS pain.

Thank you! I can see using this in a few recipes! I am so excited to try this!

I am a little over 6 months out and my NUT has me at 750-950 calories and 100 protein. Sleeve.

I use a drink mixer in my coffee to mix my protein and it works wonderfully

Hey girl, your gorgeous is showing ;)

Loosing as much as possible pre-surgery will make the post surgery weight easier to come off as well. I suggest loosing as much as possible before and getting the muscles used to moving as well. They will have you up soon after the surgery and it will be easier if you have your muscles used to moving. Start researching…

Even doing laundry I look at the clothes I wore and think they look too small for me.

Stellar job! Looking great dude, keep up the good work!

Did you notice they are lower in fiber as well? Only 12 grams opposed to the 17 in others. I love the taste though and it is worth the adjustments. Tis the season!

This is such a good read for me right now because I am in the same boat. I was sleeved 4/29/15 and my scale is creeping

Wonderful post! I too subscribe!

5Beautifuldays, you have come very close to what I am feeling. I am glad to read that someone else feels like I do. I was beginning to think I was a freak or something lol It is heard when the shield comes down. Knowing if it's your imagination or if someone is really violating your personal space. I hate that I can not…

You look amazing. Good for you on catching things early. I had problems before the surgery so I know better lol

Congratulations!!!

I appreciate the safety advice and I will follow it when I can. Do understand I live in the country and public places are few and far between. My question, however, was about the fear of such things keeping you from getting thin. This fear, this situation is what brought to the forfront of my mnd one of the reasons I ate.…

I start a self-defense class on Oct. 5 and am going to a therapist on Friday. rscpjim you are so right.

I am talking about getting creeped on. Stalked! I had a fellow I do not know follow me and it scared me to death. I was walking my dog on our usual path and when we turned around to go back the way we came going around the corner of the building and there he was. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked up in the air like…

I had the same thing when I first began to exercise. It's like whatever I was sweating was causing some kind of reaction to my skin and the only solution was to take a super hot shower as soon as possible after exercising. That helped some, but even my scalp itched and flaked. Still not sure what it is/was but time seems…

You worked hard and it shows! Great job!

MIRRORS! I used to avoid them. I hated them!They were the enemy. Now I like to dress in front of them. I love what I see. I change clothes more often just because I know I am going to like what I see. I know that sounds vain, but I can't help it. It just plain feels good to put on something cute that I would have before…

going to have to remember this when I can have bread. Sounds yummy!

Feel free to add me :smiley: I am 4 months out and down almost 70 pounds.

Congratulations!

I will call and ask about doing just that tomorrow. Thanks
