I have been feeling discouraged alot lately. I am proud of one thing though I am not turning to food like I use to:) However I am always on this site to get tips, and motivation to keep me going. Well I have a 14cc band and I am at 7cc. The last two times I have gotten fills it was so painful he could not find the port because it has changed posistion he evenutally got it but it has me scared to go back I have not seen the dr in 4 weeks I am going back next tues and I know I will need another fill because I am starting to feel hungry more often and I am eating more than a handful of food. Not much more but still it is more than a handful. I also started walking everyday at work I walk for 45 min, down a hill up another hill down that hill and back up a hill in addition I have added kickboxing and spin class every day as well it alternates spin class is two days a week and kickboxing one day a week. I started to do this because I was feeling like I have failed in some way by not losing the amount of weight I see others. My surgery was back in June and I have lost 30lbs and 3 sizes which I am very happy about what I am not happy about is I have made a few bad choices. Also I have to add I am more hungry now that I am working out twice a day and I am needing advice on how to make sure I am making the right choices when it comes to getting the nutrition I need. Any words of wisdom, anyone else that has struggled and if so what have you done to get out of your rut and to stay on the right track it is to easy to go back to old habits what works for you guys to not go back to bad habits. Thank you for listening and reading

      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? 🤷‍♀️
