I had my second fill today. I went into the office thinking that I would have a small or no weight loss, but it was actually 5 lbs! When I weigh at home, I have been adding too much to the scale total to match the doctor's office. My calculations have been wrong for the last two weeks!!! This also means that I have made some progress in Delarla's challenge!!!

Last month I pulled out old pants and shirts that didn't fit when they were put away. I've been wearing them and now they are too big! Time to downgrade (or upgrade depending on how you look at it!!) to the next size down. My shoes are even getting too big!! My donation pile for too big sizes is growing quickly.

I'm looking forward to getting under 200 - haven't been that low in at least 10 years!

BTW - I love my doctor's office!!! The staff are great and the nurse cracks me up. She started singing after I weighed and kept me smiling through the visit. Tell me how strange it is to walk in to office and they are all eating McDonald's for lunch? ! I thought it was pretty funny myself.

I'm doing a happy dance!!! :humble: :)

YaYYY ... congratulations!! Its a great feeling, aye :)

Word to the wise though, buy cheap clothes when you go shopping lol, cause you'll go through them fast! I've spent more on replacement clothes in the past 10 months than I did on the surgery itself. My doctor finds it hilarious .. my hubby, not so much lol.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
