Hi, I'm new. I was going to get the surgery last year but I thought I could do it on my own. I did lose 15lbs with the help of a friend but gained it back later. I am getting the psy and consult with a dietician this week. I am attending the seminar Wed. I am excited. I am doing a lot of research.

I had a lot of things that changed my mind for me, unfortunately I started my journey over 3 years ago and now as of July 1, 2010 I am banded! Long journey to start a NEW journey but still not any regrets! Still on liquids....hate liquids....but I have started naming them...instead of chocolate Protein Shake it's a yummy chocolate/hot fudge shake with ice cream. Anyways....good luck with your journey sometimes it just takes a little more time to get to the place you need to be!

thank you for responding. do you mind if we keep in contact. i can learn a lot from you and you from me. when i had my psy done last year, i was told that i didn't need it and the Dr. would not approve me getting it done. She was over 300lbs and unhealthy herself. I love exercising but it is the snacking. when i don't see results when i exercise, i give up. i want to see results and i believe that this will motivate me to exercise more and eat right. how is the surgery and pain. i hope you get to your goal weight. please let me know how things are going.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
