Hi everyone....first time posting. So glad to have found this site....you are all a wealth of information! I admit I'm addicted to reading all of your posts.

I'm 48 and need to lose about 100 lbs. My spouse just went through her surgery April 4th, so I kind of have an idea about what's in store for me.

I've been approved for surgery on July 11th. I'm very excited to start moving towards a healthy weight.

I know me too, I kinda want to have a last hooraaa, but I had to lose 10% of my body weight to be approved by insurance for my surgery. I did it, It was HARD....and I worked so hard to get it off I don't want to gain it all back. But at the same time I am wondering if I have to keep it off till surgery???? I would be soooo mad if I gained some back and it kept me from having my surgery!!!!! So when is your surgery date? I love the Fellow Virgo Sleever :) Happy early Birthday to you too!

Long story but my surgery was changed to the 24th instead of the 23rd. I'm fine with that. I'll be in the hospital from Tuesday to Friday. We are another day closer to July!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
