I had my 6-month checkup with my surgeon yesterday (even though it's only been 5 months...we got a little off schedule when I got sick in October). He is pleased with my progress overall. But, he did tell me that it was well past time for me to start using weights at the gym.
I've only lost 10 lbs in the last 3 months. My excuses were: Thanksgiving, 2 Christmas celebrations, a 3-day New Years extravaganza and 4 birthdays. The truth of the matter, though, is that I haven't really been putting forth an effort. So, while it's great that I lost 10lbs over the holidays without really trying (which means that the sleeve is doing its job), it's time for me to start start do my job. And, that means exercise & meal planning.
My vitamin levels were all within normal ranges. This also is good news especially if you consider that I haven't been taking my vitamins. Whew!

Awesomesauce!! Way to go honey!
Great re the 10 pounds during the holidays! But why aren't you taking your vitamins? I use the One a Day Chewables, which are yummy (like gummy bears), so it's like a treat to take 'em. Makes it much easier not to forget!
50lbs!!! woowoo! yes, time to get into the gym. Me too. I keep promising to get biking... and have yet to do it. I am lifting twice a week though. Baby steps.
You are doing fabulous!!!!I can't believe it's 6 months already and saying that means I'm coming up to mine very soon....I need to get back into some soft exercise to start moving things along a bitter quicker...I know that is what is slowing down the loss for me. Keep up the great work....chat again soon. x
