Inspiration/Support for I cannot do it alone



Recommended Posts

TO ALL OF YOU (Post-op, Pre-op, Banded, Non-Banded~you get my point) I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU :cursing:. This forum has been a godsend to me, and with the daily struggles which plague my life, I thank YOU. The stories you bring are enlightening and help me greatly. It is nice to know that no matter what, I am experiencing the same difficulties and triumphs that you are. It feels good to know that you ALL help me, daily (shoot, hourly because I spend so much time on here..pushing aside my responsibilities,:ciappa:). If i never say it again, please know that I look up to you and your journeys, your difficulties and successes. You help me to utilize my strengths and acknowledge my weaknesses. Through you, I have realized that I am human and cannot do it alone. So again, I state.......THANK YOU.:unsure:

:rolleyes2:Your words were very nice and I for one agree whole heartedly. I too was banded in April and even though my children support me and my best friend, they have never had this battle of weight. I feel like they do not really understand my shame or the feelings that come with this. I really needed someone who has been where I am at and where I am going. Thank you also from me to all. I feel better knowing that I am not in this battle alone. :tongue2:

In August I will have been reading posts from here for a year. I don't think I could have come this far in my journey without these people. Reading the posts inspire me. Posting myself, teaches me and encourages me and I have made life long friends here too. So, I couldn't agree more with the OP and Posters of this thread. I, too, want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart....Dottie

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
