Awesome,,now what do we do?lol

I guess I can tell you a little about the way I operate after being sleeved. I eat healthy 90% of the time, that 10% is the part of me that the surgery didn't fix.

I excercise regularly (however, I have a bummed up leg right now so I'm limited) I'm doing mostly upper body strength for now and some treading Water in the pool.

I still fall victim to occasionally over eating or eating too fast. That area is what I need to work on the most.

I am a slow loser and I'm ok with that as long as I can keep my mood up.

I am one of those that weigh daily. I have my own reasons for doing that.

I journal what I weigh, eat and write about my daily activities as well as how I may be feeling about life in general.

Goodness you've done really well! Congrats on so much success!

      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.
