well I guess it's time I post something about my journey instead of just looking at all the posts :) my surgery was 8/22 all went well in terms of the surgery. it took me about 9 hours to come

out of the anesthesia but it was my first time going under so now I know!! I had horrible nausea the first two days. my doc gave me 3 doses of reglan and I was so much better and I haven't needed anything else.

I'm a little over two weeks out and I feel great. I'm able to get my liquids and Proteins on most days but I really have to try and remember to eat everything I need in a day! I'm going back to work Monday. I've lost 31 lbs so far including pre

op diet. I am not going to weigh myself again until my 1 month follow up but my clothes are loose and I notice a difference in my face !! I actually fit into a t shirt that was a size lg. normally I am a 2X so I'm wearing that shirt everyday because it's so amazing lol!!!!

My rings are getting loose and I love it! I did get a little discouraged about two days ago when my hands were swollen and I felt bloated then surprise surprise it's my TOM which hasn't happened in 8 months which explains the swelling (and my cravings hahah).

it's been a good journey so far. not easy, but good. looking forward to so much more!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
