So like the title says- Summer needs to hurry up and fly by like it did when I was a kid!

I have my second(need 4) Ins required weight loss visits on Monday June 10. I cant wait to get to September! I am looking so forward to getting healthy! I have several health issues and most will get better with weight loss

Pseudo tumor cerebri with severe papilloedema

High BP

Anxiety

Heart attack at age 31

Severe lower back and leg pain

Depression

Also when I did my required blood work they said I am pre diabetic :(

I have to have this surgery! I am a single mom of two and I have to be here to help and watch my children grow!

What was the reason for your heart attack? I have had at least one, and that was from CAD - Coronary Artery Disease...

However, for myself....I suffered from High BP, was a diabetic with daily injections and oral meds, body aches and pains..I was a mess...

and I suffered from many things you do not mention...

After loosing all my weight, all that is gone...behind me...I am no longer a Diabetic..no meds, A1C normal for 2 years now...BO normal, as a matter of fact it tends to be a bit on the low side...my heart attack, which required surgery, well my cardiologist calls me his poster patient, I breeze through stress tests like a walk in the park...

I have not been healthier or feel better in over 35 years....

I now run 5 miles a day, and have more energy than I know what to do with...

Depression and anxiety...well all I can say is that as of now, I feel like I am on top of the world...I have more confidence, an overwhelming positive self image, etc etc....all because I had Weight Loss surgery and lost all my excess weight!!!

I am a new person....both physically and mentally....and I am 61 years old...my only regret is that I did not do this a lot sooner.

BTW, as I type this it is 4am, Saturday, having my coffee....I cannot wait to get to the gym when they open at 5am....I'm that motivated...

I was told i had a previous heart attack im 26 years old...my mom died at 43, grandma at 54. My stress test was abnormal and i had to see a cardiologist for clearence.....

Now the cardiologist said my stress test showed previous heart attack and cad but im getting a heart cath on monday to confirm or deny this.

I sure hope its not true

I can't wait until I am able to run with my kids an keep up with them!

My daughter complains that all I want to do is sleep and read books :( it's true but it's not because I don't want to be active but it's very tiring carrying 360lbs around

Thank you I sure hope its nothing.

I have 3 kids, and like you I want to be able to run around with them and be here for them for as long as i can. Its hard carrying extra weight around, you tire easily and kids dont understand that. I cant wait to outrun them one day!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
