It might not have been a long ways to go to get to onderland but it came so fast. 2 weeks post op exactly. Havent been here for years and I don't plan on leaving :)

still holding my breath to get over the 6 week leak scare (I know they can happen anytime but 6 weeks is my magic number tip I can put it in the back of my mind). Recovery has been a breeze thus far. Seeing everyone's posts and pics are such a great help and inspiration to a newbie like myself.

You look great!!

As a side note, i just had my hair done today. It's like yours but i have bangs. I'm at 11 weeks and my hair is falling out. She showed me that having a straight part will show more of the bald spots. Instead, Criss cross your hair over the part so it looks like a zig zag pattern, not a straight line. It really works!! And have long layers so the hair doesn't lay heavy on the scalp.

wow as I re-read my posts I'm going to have to stop making posts from my phone because I have mispelled and missed letters all over the place (gotta love autocorrect). Thank you guys and Doxie as much as I don't want to think about the Hair loss I know it's coming, those are great tips and I'm also going to keep my hair blonde (I usually go dark in winter) to keep the contrast of my hair and my white scalp to a minimum. My hair isn't thin but its very fine so I'm dreading the loss cuz it doesn't feel like theres much to take from. I'm also going to start the Hair growth Vitamins and switch up my shampoo/conditioner to some that were recommended on here to kickstart my growth before I even notice more strands in my hands than usual. And I have been using JOICO body luxe thickening elixer on and off for years which I love, gives instant volume when you dry your hair that lasts all day without being greasy or heavy like some of the root booster products. I highly recommend it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
