Recommended Posts

Count me in. Today wt is 224 so I am aiming for onderland. I know that might seem a little aggressive but I am only 5 days out and can't start musshies until day 22. Already down 20 lbs from pre op and I have not started to exercise yet.

I'm joining in. I lost 21# in the Memorial Day Challenge; but my loss is really slowing down, so I am going to set this goal at 12#. That is about 2# a week, so I think that is reasonable.

SW 257

CW 257

GW 245

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today' date=' down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.[/quote']

You have done well when did you have surgery?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
