I live in Houston, Tx. I am from Corpus Christi, Texas, but I have been in Houston for 16 years.

My surgery is July 19. TWENTY TWO DAYS AWAY!!!

What excites me most? Um...being thinner (err...healthier), being able to have relations with the lights on (maybe), breaking up with Lane Bryant, not hearing that damned but you have such a pretty face bs anymore.

What scares me the most? Other than that I will die during surgery, um, I am pretty scared of not being able to eat tortillas again. I live in Texas for crying out loud - they are a staple.

Where are you from? Rockford, Il

When is your surgery? July 3rd...2 days away!!!!!!

What excites you most about the surgery? Being able to buy clothes in the regular size department. When I was a kid I actually bought clothes in the " chubby" department.... Yes that is what it was called.

What scares you the most? Nothing.... I am so excited. When I first started the process I would come one from work sick to my stomach from stressing out about this. I finally decided if I am going to do this then let's do it. I am no longer scared.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
