Hello all! My name is Sheri and I am 31 years old, single mother of 2. I have been a member on this site since October, but I have never posted anything. So here goes.... In October I have my first appointment with Dr. mora and started the 6 months weigh in deal. I completed that in April and have been waiting on insurance approval since then until yesterday. I finally got approved yesterday! (I called them weekly to get an answer, not good at waiting). So now all I am waiting for is a surgery date. Hoping it will be done before the end of this month. I will try to get a pic posted soon, I really want a good before & after pic for myself. I also want to use the before pic to help me stay focused on my goal and not become side tracked. I have wasted to many years (about 11 or twelve) being over weight and unhappy about my body. It's time to get healthy, enjoy the rest of my thirties and start dating.

Good luck and best wishes to everyone on their weight loss journey!!!

Welcome to posting, Sheri ! I think it's good that you've been in 'think' mode for a good period of time. You'll be so committed once you have the surgery !

      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? 🤷‍♀️
