Hello from Texas!



Recommended Posts

:) Just found out last night that I am going in for the surgery on Nov 1st! My doctor is Dr. Spivak in Houston. I am excited and a little nervous too. I have about 50-60 lbs to lose. I am a little concerned about cravings and the bad habits with food that got me to this point in the first place. :nervous Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!

Before Surgery: 5'6" 196 lbs

Goal: 140 - 145 lbs

Hello Everyone,

I finally made the decision to do something about the 60 lbs extra pounds I've been carrying around for years. My surgery is going to be on Nov 21 with Dr. Rambaut in Monterrey Mexico. Like everyone else who is new at this, I'm worried that I may be one of those person for whom the band does not work, but I've got to go forward and do this once and for all. I'll be joining the November group.

      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.
