When you are at the mall with your daughter and you see a small lady coming at you and you think, "what does this skinny b!tch want" and then realize you are walking towards a mirror. hahahaha (not that I think all thin women are you know b!tches but she was coming at me fast and I thought I was gonna have to dodge a perfume spritz or something. lol

Hahahahah good one!

I'm doing good. Finally able to get some of that gas out. I'm still taking pain meds throughout the day to take away the surgery soreness. But, I'm having trouble getting enough calories and Protein in. Last few days, I've only totaled 300 calories or less, 30 grams protein per day. This morning, I drank 4 ozs Water with 23 grams of unflavored Protein Powder just to get a head start on what I'm supposed to consume each day. I have no appetite, no desire to eat, which is shocking to me! I've never had that problem before, lol.

How about you 'Rita48'?

Today has been my worst day, sorta feeling drained. I had been doing extremely well, getting the fluids and protein in, although today I'm behind. The incisional soreness at umbilical site is killing me but the pain medication helps. I even went outside and walked a bit yesterday, today I have no get up and go. I'm looking forward to a better tomorrow. Glad that you are doing well.

Here is my latest list of "You know you lost weight when" answers.
  1. Yeah I know it seems a bit shallow, but damn it I didn't really have a shallow phase at all until now so let me live in it for a bit).

  2. *Also I maybe the only one that does this, its also a bit dangerous and silly but.....* To be able to drive with one's leg on the dash because his legs and thighs are skinny enough to allow for such flexible acts of nature.


Yes!!! And Yes!!!

      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.
