my 6 week visit was today

And I am down 55 lbs to 291 from my surgery weight of 346.  I am amazed.   Of course I was told that I dont eat enough, dont get enough protein and prolly should drink more fluids, but hey, it was still a good visit.  Now to go have an icepop and a bottle of water.  I get to finally start working out now, I was given the green light, so I can put some muscle back on this body... Thanks to all for all the support I have been given for these several weeks here ( and a few on the chick board that I am trying to forget - they talk about menepause WAY too much..)

Way to Go Drew! Off to a great start… Do get in that Protein!!! You don’t want to lose any more muscle than you have to While dropping don the scales… The Exercise?  I Swear it gets easier , and easier as the weight falls off, Keep at it and keep your doc in the loop! Keep looking at that 10-years-from-now-Drew! Best Wishes- Dx

 

Congrat's!   55 lbs. in six weeks sounds wonderful to me.  I go for my pre-op tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for July 17.  Hope I am right behind you.   Best of Luck on your continued success. Mike

Sounds like we are on the same track.  I was also 346 just before surgery which i had on 5/21.  As of this morning down 50.5.  I'm doing OK getting in the fluids but not sure about the protein.  I may need to do something to supplement the protein. Congrats to you on the great results. Brian

Kicking ass Drew. Way to work it.

Brian, Nice work.  We do sound exactly the same.  amazing isnt it. My nut told me about muscle max protein drinks, the smaller ones have 20 grams of good protein in them. I plan on getting some when I drive to work next (been nice, I have been ridin my yamaha.)
