- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- Hello eveyone! I like the rest of you struggled with weight my entire life. I have gained and lost unteen pounds over and over again. I'll save you the sob story but my weight balloned in 2009 after being diagnoised with Fibromyalgia and put on lyrica. In 2006 I graduated HS at about 5'5 160ish by 2012 at my College graduation I weight 304, my highest ever with most of the weight gained after 2009. After being on numerous diets I decided to go with bypass, however my surgeon suggested the sleeve because I'm anemic and have a vitamin D deficiency. After being told over and over again I crazy and/or lazy for gaining the weight and "I'm too young to have surgery" I'm happy to finally found a supportive place that believe in me.

Well, I haven't been on here in a while but this time last year I was 304, minus the 6 mo waiting period 274 and now I am 217! I can't believe it. I'm sooo close to being able to say I weight 100 and somethings
So much for eggs

I'm on stage 2 and had my first bouts of throwing up no matter how much I mash and puree those suckers they will not stay down-I had such high hopes for eggs, looks like they will be a no-no.
First Real Workout

I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said I resume with strength training. For the last 6 months I was to doing 60 minutes on the ellipitcal 4-7 days a week but today I was only able to do 30 minutes-I guess thats expected. I also started using my resistence bands. 1 set of 8 squats, lunges, rows, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and shoulders. All and all it took about a hour total. Not bad, but I guess I'll being working my way up to abs and 3 sets in the next month or so.
I got the Ok!

6 months are going on depo and being free as a bird AF has arrived. I've heard of this occurring but did think it would happen to me.I was for sure I'd have pain before a period. Wow, I guess my hormones have taken over lol.
