Enuff is snuff ....... I wish I could meet you in person. You are such a positive influence and a wonderful person. My surgery is 12/26 and the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I am so tired of being fat. Definitely time for a new me. Thank you for the positive energy you send all of us. Bless you!

On my way to the hospital. Today's the day. See you all on the other side :)

So I'm posting this here because many of you are at a similar stage as me: I'm afraid that my sips are too big/ I am drinking too much at once. I'm not uncomfortable or full but the amount of fluids I can take in scares me :/ . Is anyone else dealing with this?

Hey yes ma'am! I drink , drink, drink, drink and never feel full! I had some rice in my chicken broth. i only did two tablespoons of rice and I ate that with my broth and I felt like I ate something but not full. I don't feel any restriction. Maybe that will come with real food.< /p>

Ladies

It is soo nice to see all of you again and Kudos to those of you who kept the momentum going! Congrats to all of those who were sleeved before good 'ol 2013 rolled in. I hope all is going very well and recovery is moving right along without complication. Unfortunately, I have had a severe upper respiratory infection along with asthma complications and a sinus infection for the past couple of weeks!. What a drag, antibiotics for 3 weeks can be rough on a girls body if you catch my drift: :-s... But I am back full force now.

@ DecemberSleever, Thank you for the post. I am in Richmond, VA, if you are close, I would love to meet up. I have actually met a couple of persons from the other forum, Lapbandtalk, when I was an active member. I have been wired to give to those as I give to myself, if not more.. I am grateful that many of you have gained inspiration and solace from my "prayers" and words of encouragement. I hope you pass it on the next person because you never know when someone needs to hear a pleasant word from a kind heart.

If there are any of you who are having surgery in the coming weeks, please leave a note here so that we can continue to pray and send well wishes your way.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
