Thanks- after the leak, the weight loss has been pretty constant which is great- I had worried how it would go with the complications. So I am pleased with the results and proud that I have worked so hard to optimise the outcome - my measure of this is based on my fitness more than the scale though- I still don't own a scale at home, just weigh at work (I work in a hospital) so it helps me resist focusing too much on the scale as opposed to other things but for me, the vital thing after 2 1/2 months in hospital was strength, stamina and fitness

Good morning friends!!

Everyone is quiet here so I hope that's a good sign that we are all doing well and being successful. I'm just trucking along. Nothing new to add. I'm maintaining my weight but I know I should make healthier food choices. I stay at a good calorie count but just not with healthy stuff. I even ate 5 pieces of bacon yesterday!!!! Ouch!!!

Yummy but not good for me. ????

A fortune cookie for you! I lost 75lbs on my own and (like often happens) regained it all again. That's what brought me to this point of pursuing a sleeve. I lost the battle but I'm not done fighting this war. And unless you and I give up we are not hopeless, we are not failures. We are fighters. You are taking a step to help yourself. You can do it! You've lost 60lbs and kept most of it off for 6 months. You have not lost too much ground and you can do it!

Hi all- I ham still going okay- the weight loss has reduced to about 0.5kg (about 1 pound) per week. I am exercising 5-6 times per week- running or doing ballet- who would have thought!!! I have about 30 pounds to go still though and I have trouble with excess skin on my upper arms. I have lost about 200 pounds though since September 2013 - so I am lucky that my tummy is okay and it's just my arms.

Here's a comparison shot :) cheers Liss

Wow Lissa S you're looking good!

Maybe a typo error though? 200 pounds since September 2013? I wish, hehe!

Sleeve op was on 09/18 and since then have lost 33 pounds. I have a long way to go but I hope I look as good as you!

Well done on your journey!

Friends.... How are you? How is everyone doing? I miss hearing from you guys so please keep posting. We must keep fighting the fight. I'm doing ok. I haven't done a great job lately at logging my food journal. I'm trying hard to not get off track. I know it's Holiday time and we are all able to eat anything we want. I'm trying to keep tracking my calories. I don't always choose the healthiest food but I do track the calories. I'm logging about 1200-1300 a day. How are you all doing???

I am not doing great and I have grand ideas of changing everything overnight and then when I fail at doing it ALL I get really upset with myself. So this week, I decided to pick two things and just focus on those. Entering my food in my fitness pal is the first and back to no sweet tea/limiting my coffee suger is the 2nd one.

I have gained about 15 pounds back from the lowest I got and that is just not acceptable to me...so, back to basics...

We can do this!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
