I hope all my November friends are doing well. I finally hit my goal weight in January. I lost 94 pounds total. I never thought I would lose that much. I've gained a couple in the last few weeks. I had to get a partial unfill. My bad was not emptying. No matter how early I would eat I would wake up coughing and sometimes food would come up. I can eat the same as before the band so I am really having to watch it. I have been following WW but this week has been bad. I have been stressed (see next paragraph).

My big news is that I will be having a Tummy Tuck, lower body lift and breast lift next week on 06/14. I am very nervous but also very excited. It is a lot of work just getting ready for the surgery. I will spend this weekend cleaning house and doing laundry and setting up my "medical station." My bedroom is starting to look like an operating room. LOL

I would love to hear from everybody.

Hi, I have lost 95 lbs . I am holding at 165 now for a year. I am not trying to lose any more, if I do, good, if I dont, I like 165. :-) I haven't had any issues with my band. I would like to have arm surgery for my bat wings.... How is everyone else doing?

I am 133 pounds down and have not been on here for years. I am not at goal but glad to see others thus far away from surgery. My co-worker had to have hers taken out after just one year. Glad to be a 5.5 year Bandster!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
