If you have a chance; take a look at my blog....I post every Sunday and have for the past year....will stop in a couple of weeks, but it will give you an idea of what to expect. If you can't see the link to my blog on this it means you don't have signatures turned on and you should do that; it's helpful to see what others have in their signatures. Good luck!

Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! To Finallymj: for my blog best to start at www.queenofcrop.com/about From there you can start at the beginning in October of 2011 and go forward, or read the last post. I post every Sunday but this next Sunday will be my last for a while. Also, be sure you have youg Signatures turned 'ON" in your settings on this forum. The reason is so you can see the links to people's blogs in each post, and their ticker tapes if they have one.

Good luck everyone....you are all in for a FABULOUS journey!!!!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday!! Sorry I've been off the map sense then! A little update on me.. I have my last appointment for my 90 pre required visits on February 21st! Had my sleep study on Friday the 18th, get my results next Thursday the 31st, so I will find out if I have apnea or not! But then I will just need to wait ,-) once I have my appointment on the 21st, they will submit for approval, I don't need the co morbitities because of my bmi and my doctors office has only had 3 denials in the past 2 years, and they even have an on staff mediator person who will fight your insurance if it is denied so, still hoping all goes well with approval process. So as of yesterday I have 30 days until my submission! I joined the gym and have been going approx 3 times a week for an hour each visit. Other then that, just living and working. ;-)

I might of written that funny! My insurance requires 90 days of pre required nutrition visits. So it's one visit a month so three visits and then the 4th and final required visit is on or a few days after my 90 days! Basically I meet with my nutritionist and we set goals and talk about eating better and what not. It's easy just long process!

      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.
