I'm in Orange County and I'm scheduled for surgery on the 31st of March.

I am 16 months out, so a lot has happened since surgery lol but I am wonderful! It is a forever change and battle. I have maintained my weight but I do juggle about 5 lbs so I am aware still and try to keep on track as best I can. I know it is easy to slip back in to old habits. right now I am fighting my late night snacking again.

@@rgallardo how are you since surgery?

I recently had surgery in December of 2015, still adjusting to everything. The first few weeks were the toughest for me, letting go of the head hungry is challenging for sure. I am in North County, San Diego.< /p>

I am 4 1/2 years out now. I work hard to maintain my 100 lb weight loss. If it helps any, my self imposed rule is no food after 9:00 pm at night If I have the desire to snack, I stop all food at my set time. I will drink coffee or Water after 9:00 pm, and it has helped the 1-2 lbs gain I got for late night snacking. Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
