Being cold - I swear I sweat all the time!

Not huffing and puffing going up stairs.

Seeing my eyes again as my cheeks get smaller.

The energy which has already kicked in.

Not walking slumped over because my back hurts.

Getting back into all my cute shoes and size 10 clothes!

And...shopping shopping shopping!

OMG! feeling Cold! Be careful what you ask for although it is inevitable.....

I cannot get warm anymore! I have electric heaters around when I'm in my office or watching TV.....I want to move to warmer climates now that I have lost all that walrus blubber.....

B52 - I've been there before and I remember I was painfully cold! But I figure its a lot more attractive than sweating like a pig with the slightest exertion!

LOL! This is so timely. My husband and I were chatting last night and we kept hearing an irregular clinking noise. After about 10 minutes of hunting for the source of this strange noise, we realised that my rings had become so loose that they were twisting on my fingers and clinking against each other!

Tops for me:

1. Crossing my legs

2. Fitting into regular sized clothing

3. Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat without worry they will make me buy another seat

Darn these were mine as well with the addition of being able to run again. I use to love to run and have not been able to in years. I was banded 1-17-2013 so the long road has begun.

Cheers,

Adam

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
