This forum is an excellent place to be. Very helpful and inspiring...

Please take a minute or ten and share some of your experiences with us...seasoned sleevers are an important tools for the newbies...and the newbies help remind us to stay motivated :)

We use a term here - NSV "Non-scale Victory"...would love to hear about some of yours. it's anything not scale related that was a goal or a "win" or an unexpected benefit...

Great progress and keep it up!

The day of the surgery i was pumped! But i was was getting nervous laying in the pre op room but then my doctor came in and said a prayer with me and my family.Then they wheeled me into the room and next thing i know I'm waking up which seemed like i was out for 5 minutes.Not gonna lie i was in some pain.The hardest thing was not being able to drink anything that whole day until the day after.I tell you what whatever that crap is they give you to do the leak test taste just like crap! They gave me a cap full of Water to chase it down with and that wad the best water I've ever had in my life! following 6 weeks was pretty easy because i didn't care to eat anything.I just wanted to drink.At this point right now i would take a big glass of tea over a steak or chicken.The surgery changes your appetite so much to where eating is not something i enjoy but something i do like skinny people did do.Before i would look at there parts and think wow there's mi way that would full me up and now that's exactly how i eat.I try to ride my bike 9 miles a day or jog 3 miles but i usually drop a pound everytime i do one or the other.I was losing 10-15lbs a week for the first 3 months.The main thing is do what the doctor says.

Yes can't wait for the freedom to buy shirts that are not $60 that fit when I want to. Glad you are enjoying life better.

      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.
