Just wanted to introduce myself. My long history at weight loss and gain loss is similar to most everyone here. I was divorced 4 years ago after 20 years of marriage. It was the most painful thing I have ever endured. That loss of a family unit was devastating to me. Although he never came out and said it was my weight I always knew in my heart that it was some of the reason. But still I did not try to do anything about it. I am an RN and it was seeing the illness of my obese patients. In addition the difficulty moving them and the ability for them to move themselves not to mention the odor that made me realize this could be me one day. I don't won't to live the last 20 or 30 years of my life a miserable mess. So here I am. At first I wasn't going to tell a soul. Mostly ashamed that I had to go to such extremes to lose weight. But then I decided I need to be accountable and need the support I knew my family and friends would give me. I am even going to go to a local support group and be active here. All in which I feel will be positive influences on this journey. So look forward to chatting with everyone.

Welcome! I am 8 days post op. This has been far more challenging than expected -- that pre-op diet is something! :)

But I am excited for the days ahead. This is a new start for us!! Hang in there!!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
