Hello all,

I am so excited today, I just have to share! I have lost over 40 pounds now since August, and I have been down lately thinking no one even can tell.

So in the time I am the lowest I had to go to a business meeting. I was not myself, people commented how down I was. And THEN my friend looked at me and said "You've lost a sh*tload of weight" They way she said it I was just cracking up. But I was so happy that someone finally noticed. And then the woman to her right said "I thought so too, but I didn't want to ask!"

That feels better than the clothes that feel better, the smaller size all of it! Someone finally noticed! lol...I just had to share!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Wow 40 pounds since August!!!! I was just banded on 9/11. I really have no clue how much to anticipate by for example Christmas.....I am hoping for maybe 20 by Thanksgiving and this means going by all the rules and exercising!!

I too was banded in Aug, but I have only lost 7lbs since sx. Have you had a fill as of yet?

I can't wait until someone tells me I lost weight also. You must be floating on air! Congrads!!!!!!

I just had my first fill Tuesday but it was only .5 ccs because of the weight I have lost on my own. I tell you that cardio is the key. I work out everyday 45-60 minutes cardio. I also count calories, so it is almost like I don't have the band at all....lol.....it took my surgery for me to get serious.

Don't worry it will happen. When did you have surgery?

I don't know if you were speaking to me or not, but I was banded on the 21 of aug. My dr said not to exercise until now. I walked but didn't do anything yet. I am starting at curves tomorrow. Hope that will start my weight loss. I'm still a happy camper!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
