Gastric Sleeve or Bust! TJ Here I Come!!!



Recommended Posts

I'm done being the "extra fluffy, slightly big boned, extra thick, juicy gal I've been. Here is to the thin me who has always lived inside and who is getting rid of the fat girl suit once and for all. Long gone will be the days of someone asking me when my due date is and me smiling and saying "I'm not pregnant just fat. Then helping them through that awkward moment afterward.....I'm looking forward to using ALL of my walk in closet and not just the tiny section that holds the clothes that does fit! Looking forward to being in front of the camera and not behind it all the time or shielding behind my children to hide myself on the rare occasion there is a snap shot of me. And really folks, I'd rather have two brains than two double chins you know! AND I so look forward to my thighs rubbing together NO MORE. Can I hear an :amen:

My heaviest was 225 and I've been on the pre op diet for a few weeks and currently at 207. My journey has been a long one on the same road but now as I've always said, there's something better for me just around the corner even if that corner is a 7 hour flight and short ride across the boarder.

To my Lord and Savior who through Him all things are possible I am humbled for the blessings in my life. My husband who vowed to make his life mission to making me happy has stood by me through all of this. He is my blessing and I adore him. I will be that healthy person that my children will have around for many years to come who they will be proud of. To my big sister Lula, who always sees the bright side everything in me. I love you sissy.

To my kindred spirits on this wonderful site, you inspire me every time I log on. A shout out to Tiffykins, Erin92 and Oregondaisy; you have walked a mile in my high heels and your support through posts and chat help on the learning curve for newbies like me. Tiffykins, you’re a blessing on this site I can’t tell you how much I have learned from reading your comments from pre op, maintenance and recipes to name a few. I love them all.

Well folks, I’ve rambled long enough. Please say a little prayer for me. Thank you for visiting my post today. Next time we chat up I'll be a loser just like you! I've never been more excited!! :party4:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
