TJMom, I think you're doing great!! I keep saying I couldn't walk before surgery because I couldn't go from my front door to my car without being out of breath, but you're blowing me out of the water!!! :) Every day you are getting a little stronger and one day you'll be posting that you "couldn't walk before surgery" and that you're now using that wheelchair to grow flowers in the back 40! :)

Great NSV! I hope you'll keep us updated on your progress. I wonder how you could track the lessening need for the wheelchair on a ticker?

Lissa and O T ... both your posts were very uplifting.... thank you and when i am no longer using my chair...i just might drive it out to the back fence, put a wash tub in the seat and plant a climbing plant of some kind in the tub to overtake the chair!!! that's a visual that brings a smile to my face!!!

thank you both...your comments are so supportive and encouraging...

Each morning, i sit on the side of the bed with my sore back and knees screaming at me for the strain i put them both through yesterday, by walking.

i pick up my phone, sign into VST and re-read every ones posts.... it warms my soul to have all this support!!!

i look at my motorized chair, and say: "not today. today i am walking. 1 hour or 10 hours, it doesn't matter. i AM going to walk today! "

thank you all for keeping me motivated!

thank you all so much!!! your kind words encourage me to keep going....

Saturday i walked all day... not just around the house, but had my husband ride the motorized chair beside me and we went for a walk down our driveway.... when i got to the point where my legs felt like rubber, i sat down for a few minutes...i was/am a bit stubborn - so i did not drive back. I just rested, got up and walked home. (its not far, probably 6 car lengths, but it is gravel. so a bit unsteady) AND we went to a BBQ.... i walked the entire day!!!

QUESTION: Does anyone have a problem sleeping?

(sorry to be talking so much) .... last night when i went to bed - (and i was really sleepy from being outside most of the day) - but as soon as my head hit the pillow, my eyes popped open! i did not sleep all night! and haven't been to sleep yet today... just wondering if anyone else has problems sleeping...

thanks again for all your encouragement!!!

I have trouble sleeping but I always have. I was taking Ambien before surgery. After surgery I didnt sleep well for like a whole month. Dr says, oh, Ambien doesn't work well after sleeve. So now I take something else.

A lot of people that have had the surgery said their bodies just do not need that much sleep anymore & all the extra energy makes it tough to sleep.

      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.
