Welcome! Im new here too and have really enjoyed looking at an reading all the post. It has helped me learn more than I ever could by just going to a seminar which most of us have to do. Im anxious to get my life back as well. I have not been over weight my whole life and in my mind Im still the skinny girl I used to be before I had children but physically Im obviously not. I also struggle with PCOS as do alot of women and it is so ridiculously hard to lose weight and sometimes I feel like its gods cruel joke but I know what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger. Best Wishs to you! :rolleyes:

Hi, thanks for the wish of good luck... I am still going back and forth with this... one minute I am excited and the next I am second guessing myself. I am hoping your surgery went well and I see that you have already lost a good amount of weight! CONGRATS on that ... I hope your healing well.....

Thanks and welcome to you too! It's funny you say that about thinking your still the skinny girl, because that is exactly how I feel.... until I look in the mirror and see this not so skinny girl. Best wishes for you also....

Welcome,

I am also new to this and I am excited to be sharing my journey with everyone and getting the input of others. You are absolutely right that we can get way more input here than we can from one seminar. Good luck with your journey and looking forward to more success stories.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
