Become friends with your team (doctor, PA, nurse, Nutritionist) and ask lots of questions. They are your best resource, we are just mainly support. Also, do what they tell you- each doctor is different as is each patient. What my doctor told me he may not tell someone else, they look at you and your insides and tell you what to do based on your needs- so trust them!

Don't go against what they tell you, you can do damage to youself. I have followed my doctors and nutritionist instructions to a T. It's been 5 months and my doctor told me yesterday that my case was picture perfect. I have lost more than most do in 5 months (who start at my weight) and my band looks awesome.

      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.
