So two weeks from today I fly to Mexicali and two weeks from tomorrow I will be sleeved. Things that I never thought could happen to me are feeling possible.

*I will be healthy enough to have babies

*My knees won't hurt

*I will not be too tired to carry my laundry up the stairs

*I won't be destined to get diabetes

*I won't be angry at Halloween when I can't find a costume to fit

*I won't be the girl with "the pretty face," I can just be the pretty girl.

*I won't need to cringe when its time for takeoff and have to ask for a seatbelt extender.

*I will know that if something goes wrong in a relationship, at work, or in play it will be because of something I did not because of how overweight I am.

*I will be able to walk into a store and know that my lack of cash might prevent me from buying the things I want, but not my booty.

*I will be able to enjoy the things I like to eat, without being obsessed.

*I will be able to have the energy to paddle the boat when I go rafting, rather than just going along for the ride.

*I will be able to finally feel like the outside of me, looks more like how I feel inside.

*When I get married, I will be able to fully give my body to my husband, and not feel ashamed or scared.

I know that this won't fix all life's problems, but life is difficult and painful all in its own and it will be so nice to be able to face those difficulties without 150 extra pounds weighing me down. I'm so excited to get started.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
