I'm so proud of myself y'all! Yesterday we were passing by a Tommy's after spending the afternoon at the beach and my son and rest of the family really wanted to stop to eat. I knew I couldn't order anything from the menu, but I didn't want to stop my family from eating there. I still need to lose a few pounds before my upcoming pre-op, so I literally sat with everyone and watched as they ate (with the exception of 2 french fries and a few sips of my hubby's diet coke)! I don't think I've ever done that before. Afterwards I got something else to eat and I was happy! Happy that my family was happy and happy that I didn't go off!!! YAY FOR ME:thumbup:!!!

Way to go!!! I am very impressed with you losing so much weight already!! Im trying to quit old habits and Im doing it one step on a time, such as coffee, pop, carbs, Im hoping soon I will start eating smaller portions... are you on any specific plan right now? Atkins? smaller portions?

We're just weeks apart in our surgeries, looking forward to being on the loser board with you!!

Thank you :laugh0:...I am using the weight watcher point system, and journaling everything (that's the key). I am also making sure to drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast (30 grams of protein).

      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.
