I need help guys today is my birthday and I am 10 days post op. Every year we went out to my favorite restaurant and a movie, but now I need a new tradition. This is my second birthday without my mom and it's already an emotional day I just want to do something special. Any suggestions?

Go to a salon with a couple of girl friends, get a massage, mani, pedi, etc. You'll feel like a million bucks and really enjoy a good movie! Happy birthday!

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Why not still go to the movies? Just take away the restaurant part. And what a great birthday gift you've already given yourself. Maybe you and the girls in the family can go get manicures and pedicures? Have a mini makeover day? No matter what, just think about how awesome your "New Year" is going to be. :)

Happy Birthday to both! My birthday is coming up soon and my family tradition is drinking and having their favorite dish made for them. But this year all I asked for was money or spa packages. Ooffa511 what part of New York are you from cause I live in manhattan.

First, Happy Birthday!!! I agree with the ladies--do something for YOU-mani, pedi, facial sounds perfect. This journey you are on should be all about YOU taking care of YOU!!!

I lost my mother in October and understand how difficult it can be doing those things without her.

I agree with the others; do something for YOU for this birthday. A pedicure is a wonderful indulgence and will make you feel SO much better. I'm sorry about your mother. I know how hard that one is, especially when you're early post-op. You're in the same spot I was last year, having a birthday while still on liquids. Just know that your mother is an angel in heaven who is watching over you and she IS proud of you, even more so because you're making such positive changes in your life!

Happy Birthday to you! :)

Happy birthday. Do something that is all you. My birthday is coming up soon and I told my husband I want to go bike riding along the lake front. Do they have carriage rides near by, or how about a boat ride. Depends where your at.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
