Thanks! With the complications, if you would have asked me during that time I did regret the surgery. It was not fun, of course not nearly as bad as some others have had it but I was not a happy camper then. Now though, seeing the difference I am glad I did it.

@Weightbgone- I am 5'4

@GreenEyedMomma-Congrats!!

Oh yes, my hair is falling out like crazy! At least I have thick hair so it is not noticable unless you get up close and see the strands of hair that are constantly all over my clothing. Seriously. I cannot even wear white shirts or sweaters anymore but it's way more noticable on those. My hair has changed all together, it used to be very oily, to the point that I HAD to wash my hair daily. I now wash my hair 2 times a week, it's not oily at all. I had to put a strainer thingy in the tub to deal with the hair and it comes out like crazy if I even just run my hands through my hair, forget brushing it or straightening or curling, it comes out worse with those which is why I only style my hair on Sunday's for Church. The rest of the week I usually run a brush through once a day. And I have to put my hair up if I'm cooking because it ends up in the food.

But the Hair loss is temporary. I would rather lose some hair and be thin and be fat.

We have the same stats, I am 5'4'' and weight 240 to start. If I look like you 41/2 months after surgery I would be the happiest woman alive!

Thanks everyone :) I really am glad I went through the surgery. The complications sucked but it's nothing I can't deal with. I still get pain and have to take Nexium twice a day and Zantac once a day but it's nothing I can't handle. Doctors are still hopeful that things will improve even more over the next few months :) Now I'm just trying to push the exercise to tone up and hit goal :)

You look awesome! Can you believe how fast this has happened? BTW - love those pink shoes you have on with your black dress. I get sleeved on the 27th and start my liquid diet on Monday. Can not WAIT!!!! (for surgery - not the liquid diet, haha)

Congratulations!

Aloha,

Lulu

      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? 🤷‍♀️
