Also, in this past weekend's ride, I was AT LEAST 12 years older than those 20-somethings in the background. It sucked the life out of my short legs, but I managed to finish with those youngsters!...

Completed 2, 200+ mile rides in a one-month span. While I rode pre-sleeve, my endurance, performance (speed and hill climbs), and recovery (virtually no muscle soreness), wouldn't have been possible...

Huh...sorry, but I don't follow that comment and how it's tied to my question. Can you clarify?

After exceeding my goal weight and maintaining for a while, I had a plastics consult. Apparently I get to live with excess arm and thigh skin - the doc advised for what little I have, the scaring and...

I adore the heck out of you, Ann!

Hi Donna - my "program" probably isn't for everyone, partially because I was pretty active pre-op too. I love being outside and despise gyms. I run about 6mph 2-3x week for about 30-40 minutes. I am...

Today was my one year follow up with all of my practitioners. One reason I chose this program was because it's comprehensive. It includes surgical, nutritional, fitness, body comp assessment, and...

For me, it has nothing to do with old eyes. Long paragraphs without line breaks are simply...exhausting. :/

Similar to RehabNurse, I'm still in a (very) slow weight loss phase, averaging about 2lbs/month. I'm one year out, looking to make it an even 140lbs. (I'm between a size 2-4, almost 40 years old,...

This is what I ate yesterday - typical if I eat out. For Dinner yesterday, I had an offsite client meeting at my local pub :D

Breakfast - Premier Protein shake, coffee
Lunch - Tillamook Farmstyle...

Go jeff!!!

Heh, thanks, ladies for letting me have some fun. The 5 slices of bread including two peanut butter sandwiches were sooooo good.

Ann, I buy it at the local Safeway, not a specialty store. In your...

Hubba hubba! Look at dem muscles too - nice work!

I totally shouldn't admit this, but I actually met my husband on Craig's List...yep, the bottom of the barrel of all "dating sites". Man, I got lucky that he didn't chop me up into little bits. I...

I love reading this thread. You ladies are SOOOO GOOD. I'm going to do this, just because I'm a brat, and share with you what I eat on my long-ride days. CAVEAT, I ONLY eat like this because my...

My Doc gave me permission two weeks post op to have one glass of wine for 4th of July. I handled it well, and used that as a license to continue drinking "responsibly" to-date. I drink about 2-3...

I'm one year post-op and still struggle to eat slow enough. My sleeve does the work for helping me not over-eat, and I mostly eat good choices - yeah for that.

I took part in a 6-month pre-op...

I still over eat from time to time. It's definitely a learning process.

Sorry for all the typos, folks. No disrespect intended. I should know better than to post on this non mobile-optimized site from my phone.

That's not a problem just for skinny bitches, btw.

I know, riiiiiiite?

Yep, 5'2", and ill be 40 in October. I have very little excess skin. I'm as xs to s on top, 4 on bottom, very muscular. My one year post op is 23. I'll post photos and my latest bod pod results then....

Not being able to find clothes in your size because they're all too big.

No XS tops, and bottoms started at size 6. Yep, one year post op and those sizes are too big. Woe is me.

I'm a long-distance cyclist. I was pre-op; I am post-op.

Immediately post-op because I was in such a significant calorie deficit, I didn't ride more than an hour at a time. Immediately = after...

Nice work, Mary! Super impressive! The BodPod is what my bariatric center uses. It's also what they use for football athletes at the Combine. It must be good, right?

Totally impressed with 20%....

Do eeeeeeet!
