Started my journey( a little long)



Recommended Posts

I went to the info session today. I didnt learn anything new but it is required. I filled out the information form and will be contacted in 5 days to have a consult. They are having success in getting approval for surgery. I got lost finding the conference room and and asked directions and it turned out it was the surgeon. He shook my hand and actually lead me there. Seemed like a nice guy. His associate did the seminar. So we will see where it all goes from here.:)

Welcome, and congratulations on taking your first step. . . in no time you'll be here with the rest of us . . . Good luck and all the best in your journey! I had mine done on Dec 29th and haven't regretted it at all. . . in the beginning it's weird, but that soon goes away as soon as you learn whats what. . . .

      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? 🤷‍♀️
