The Dr. said he wasn't going to fill me until I hit a plateau. He said that every once in a while he has a patient who is in the green zone with just the little bit he filled during surgery. He told me that if I stopped losing my 2-3 pounds a week, I could call and he would get me in to do a fill. I'm telling you that I feel the real reason I'm losing weight because I have my head in it. I have never had my head in the game before and I'm happier than I have ever been. Weight has been the only thing in my life that has been out of control and it feels so good to be in control of it, finally.

You are doing super! My doctor bases fills on what I am eating, and how hungry I am. To be honest, I think it's wrong for doctors to say they will only fill when your not loosing weight. As you said, you have your head in the game. It is certainly possible to be loosing weight because your sticking to a program, but have lots of hunger. Just a thought. Best wishes!

Well, the good thing is that I'm not having too much hunger. Because I have my head in the game now, I know that the hunger is not a bad thing, I'm not going to die, it's just a signal.

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
