Holy Crap that's awesome!! I'm down 32 - happy with that so far. I just keep try to remember that I didn't put it on overnight so I have to be patient and it will come off :)

I was at Alexian Brothers also. Dr Kane. Great experience.

Those of you in the area - when and where do you attend support group? And even if you don't attend - can you tell me where some support groups meetings are at? The one for the Kane Center is only on Sat AM and that's not a good time for me. I'd like to meet with people who have had WLS. Thanks.

Morten's mom - would you like a visitor? I don't live too far and I'm off work. I'd be happy to stop by on day two if you like. I'm rootin for ya!!!!

Everyone is talking about Alexian here, but my surgery is at Good Shepard. Id love someone that's been through this to visit the hospital. I hear that the first days or so are bad.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
