i am soooo happy i finally got the sleeve !!! didnt think it would ever get here , and notw its just so surreal!!!! :)

Hey there...I usually see Haley also. But I guess I felt pretty informed overall. I pretty much stick to Protein, although, I eat pretty normally just a lot less of it! I never go to any of the support groups...I guess I kind of consider this site to be my support group. I have experienced a couple of stalls...I think the longest one was two weeks. My goal is to lose 100 lbs so I only have 38 to go and I am only a little over 4 months out.

I'm a Dr. Olsen patient too! Sleeved Dec. 10th. I like their program and felt prepared for how life would be post sleeve. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I am finally pain free and starting to eat regular food. yay!

Hey you Dr. Olsen patients! I am getting sleeved January 9th with Dr Houston. How was your experience being at the Centennial Women's Hospital during recovery? And how has your recovery been thus far? I imagine since these doctors work close together, that maybe the experience will be similar!! I would love any info!

      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.
