7 weeks out!

Its 7 weeks, wow what a ride! I'm down 3 lbs today and 31 lbs since surgery! I feel good, no complaints. I had my first visit with Curves this morning. sounds like something I'm going to enjoy, I'm ready to start exercising more, I have a zumba video here at home and boy is that a workout I haven't made it all the way through the video yet but I keep trying, at least I'm moving,.. right?........and I'm glad there is no one here watching me do this, love this morning for breakfast I had an egg and a half piece of turkey bacon, for lunch Ill probably have 3 oz of tuna with a little lite mayo, and one sm sq of lite Colby cheese. I have not been eating snacks between meals for a few days. I still average one protein shake a day I use Designer Whey its not as sweet as some of the other ones, I cant tolerate sweets very well I tried diet Coke yesterday and I don't like it either.....that's a good thing I use to be a diet Cokeaholic before surgery, I guess it was an acquired taste. and I don't want to acquire it again. lol, I drink Sobe life water diet but I water it down its too sweet for me and I drink very lightly sweet tea. V8 for carbs, and of course water. I do get hungry now but its different from the hungry I felt before surgery..... not that Starving feeling. and I always try fluids first, the same signal that tells your body your hungry also tells your body your thirsty, so you may not be hungry at all, just thirsty. all in all I'm pleased with my progress, people are starting to notice now that I have clothes that fit and show off my tiny waist, and that feels good Ill post new pics soon when I find out how to lol. thanks for all the encouragement, and advise. I LOVE MY SLEEVE & OH!!!!!!!!

I'm know I'm hungry when I can no longer handle fluids.  I start gagging on my water.  Yep, that's weird.

Congrats on everything and enjoy your Zumba video. I made it to the end of my 50 minute live video after about a month or so. It wasnt' pretty at the end, but I made it there. Now I get better every week and try to modify a little less each week.

I love the energy I get from the zumba, I hope I get a little better at it though, your doing a great job working your sleeve congrats. did your back hurt when you first started Zumba? some mornings I can hardly get out of bed, but it get better through the day.

No, my back hurt when I first started walking which was at least a month before I started Zumba. Now, except for that TOM or something weird I do in my sleep, my back doesn't hurt at all.

well it is that TOM so maybe that is the prob, at least I know it will get better, Thanks!

Hey SLEEVE SISTER,

CONGRATS on your progress so far.  As far as coke I used to also be a COKEAHOLIC and I tried some the other day and it tasted so WEIRD and I was sooo happy.  I don't crave it whatsoever.

I'm also happy I got to fit into size 16 jeans with no problem.  It's been a long time since I've purchased size 16's...i've been in a stall for the past 2 wks but what can I say? Everyone stalls.

Well once again congrats and keep rockin' that sleeve:)

I'm glad I don't crave diet coke any more!!! your doing amazing size 16!!!!! wow I seem to have lost most of my weight from the top half and my behind and thighs are slower but that's ok I know they will have to give up sometime, keep up the good work!!!

OMG! Connie, you are doing FANTASTIC! 31 pounds LESS!! you are melting away so quickly!! hahha...!! 

Im so glad for you!!!... cant wait to see some before and after pics!!

Curves sounds really good!..and of course anything you do, that involves cardio workout, will be so helpfull for you!!

Keep it up with the great work your doing!

Hugs! :)

pd: Im amazed of how, people´s taste can change so much, before and after the surgery! Ill hope that happens to me 2, when i do mine, because i have an adiction with sugar!! i love it!!! 

Happy so good to hear from you, on the rare occasions that I tried sweets one bite is enough I just don't crave it and it doesn't taste as good to me, I hope it stays that way! cant wait until you get your sleeve! you will be so happy, good luck and hang in there.....hugs......Connie
