I can not stop crying!! What an emotional day! I am overwhelmed with joy! To think back to how run down and depressed I was less than 6 months ago. I was in such a dark and scary place for so long. I dreaded little things like going to the grocery store. I would go late at night so less people would see me. I carried sooo much guilt and shame. I was embarrassed to pick my kids up from school because I never wanted to be "that" mom...and there I was. I would get comments from the kids when I would volunteer to help...one little girl asked me if I was having a baby and when I said no she asked why my belly was so big. Can't blame her but it still hurt.

Now 5 months post op and I am feeling incredible! Inside and out!!

ONEderland is a ONEderful feeling.

If you are on this journey, PUSH yourself! Find that wall and break through it! YOU can do it!!! Don't waste time at the gym just getting by...WORK HARD while you are there. Make the most of the time you have!

If you haven't started your journey...dont wait any longer! The days are going to pass and you can't get them back! Just start...every journey begins with just a single step....TAKE THAT STEP TODAY!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

Good for you! I was in that dark place too, when my youngest daughter acted like she was ashamed of how I looked. She call me old lady and always critiqued what I wore, now she always wants me to shop with her and bought me a pair of jeans today!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
