Recommended Posts

Here are my stats...

Name: Snarky Brewster

Age: 28

Banded on Sept. 20, 2011

Height: 5'8"

Starting Weight: 259.7

Current Weight: 226.4

Other fun facts: I skate roller derby and am generally very active. Happily married to an awesome musician. I have two beagle rescues, love vintage clothes, fashion and music. I live in Northern VA and would love another workout buddy, band veteran with a rockin' attitude who could share advice, another newbie to gossip with about the strange post-op world or any combo of the three!

Where in NoVA are you located and who's your surgeon? I live in Loudoun county and will have my band installed by the surgeons at Blue Point Surgical Group out of NoVA Fairfax (Dr. Halmi). I hope to get banded the week prior to Christmas 2011, but that depends upon insurance and whether they approve me or not. Stats:

  • 45 y/o female, not married (divorced), no kids
  • work as defense contractor (boring, huh?)
  • enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking w/my dog, mtn biking, skiing w/friends
  • also enjoy entertaining but that will likely change in my post-op life
  • am a foodie, but must change some of those habits to be successful post-op
  • plan to workout at 5am in my post-op life at Golds Gym in Sterling/Cascades
  • am not too big a music buff nor a movie buff, but I appreciate those who have the talent
  • I'm a dedicated Christ-follower (if that's not your thing, I understand)
  • have a great dog named 'Clyde', he's a rescued labrador retriever and we're now trained as a therapy dog team

That's about sums it up. Lemme know if you'd like buddy-up.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
