We all hit a wall. I had nto exactly made the decision yet, but knowing I had a tumor and knowing I may have partially caused that with the abdominal fat - plus diabetes, PLUS they couldnt even "see" the tumor till I lost some weight...it was enough.

Good luck to you in your journey.

I know right? It's like i'm sick of being fat already is that so bad? 16 years of chubbiness, and constant dieting I'm simply done with that because it doesn't work. I don't need all sorts of fancy reasons to get this surgery. No i'm not scared at all, i need this surgery yesterday!

I'm right there with ya Tisa! I have been waiting for the last three years to get this done! I know how hard it is to wait but I keep telling myself I've waited this long so what's a little longer? When I feel down I say MY day WILL come!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
