Hi, been lurking for awhile...



Recommended Posts

Well, I guess I should start off with my stats:

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Height: 6'2

Current Weight: 370 lbs.

All Time High Weight: 460 lbs:embarassed:

Lapband: Not yet, still in the decision stage

I have a few questions, but will lurk a little more to see if my questions have already been asked and answered by others :). I know how annoying it is when a newbie comes in and asks the same thing that has been asked 1000's of times lol :).

Welcome Derick. I started reading the post about June timeframe and went in for the seminar July 23 and had my sx Aug 21. It was not bad at all. I feel great. Feel free to ask any questions of us, we're happy to help.

Welcome Derick. Don't worry about asking questions that have already been asked. I'm sure we've all done it. Also, some of the members know the site so well, they'll just head you in the direction of a thread that will help you. So go ahead and ask away.

      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.
