One Year Out....what A Ride!



Recommended Posts

Lisa did u have hanging skin? And if so what exercise can u tell us to get those arms and legs right...

Yes, I have "bat wings" for arms!!!...and I'm gonna definitely need a tummy tuck!! But I am not even gong to consider any plastics until I've been at my goal weight for 18 months. The way I see it, the flab is better than fat....yeah, it bugs me but I want to see how things "settle" before jumping under the knife again.

Lisa! How awesome you must feel and so proud of your achievements! Who could have imagined how changed our lives could be in such a short time!

I am curious if you lost a lot of hair and at what point did it stop falling out so dramatically! I am scared I will be bald soon!

This inspiration is just what I need right now! I'm on day 2 of my pre op diet and I'm sooo hungry. December 10 is coming fast and I'm scared and excited. Everyone questions my decision , and then I read about the problems people are having and it makes me wonder. This story helps. Thank you.

I did have a period of time where I seemed to lose a lot of hair but my hair is so thick and curly that it was not noticeable....even to me!!! I would just freak out every time I took a shower and, what seemed like, handfuls of hair would come out. It's been a few months now and I'm back to normal Hair loss. One thing for me, was that my Protein levels were low from 2 weeks out through 6 months (my surgeon tests for it each time I see her). When I went for my one year follow up my Protein level was finally normal. So mabye that helped....I don't know though :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
