I am down 18.5 pounds and sooooo very ecstatic with my progress. Not as fast as others, but I am me. Yesterday I went to meet with Ana at Kaiser Bellflowers' satellite office and when I got on the scale and it read 293.5, it took so much out of me not to run down the hall screaming of joy. To see 293 to me is I will never see 300's again. I don't have a scale at home, which is wonderful for me. My next weigh-in will be May 18. Can't wait.

Congratulations! I expect I will lose at a similar rate as I am not able to be active other than in the pool.

I could not STAND to wait two months to weigh! For one thing I would want to know if my diet was having the results I hope for- I have noticed some people actually eat too little and have to up their calories to keep losing. I am amazed you want to wait!

I chose not to have a scale at home because I don't want to have different emotions on a daily basis. I feel as though I would be whipping myself to misery and going backwards thinking this is not working for me.

I can feel and see a difference anyway. That's all I need.

Congrats on the weight loss and on the incredible patience!!!!

Hello All

Okay, I have returned to work after six weeks, and guess what? There is now a scale in the supply room. WHYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!!! hahahahaha.

Anyway, yes, I did step on it, lol. Monday I lost another 6.9lbs in a week. I am now 286.6, down from 312 surgery date. What a wonderful feeling.

I do understand that all scales are different. Still cannot wait til appointment with Kaiser next month.

Say what? I had to giggle that of all things a scale would appear at work while you were away.

Congrats on your progress!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
