9 1/2 month and 184 lbs gone forever...



Recommended Posts

May 17th of last year was the day I started my new life after having surgery with doctor Alvarez down in Mexico.. The only thing I'm upset about this whole process is that I did not do this sooner. These past 9 months have been more of a wild ride then I had a ever imagined. If I had it to do all over again I would change nothing and go to the same process without hesitation. the day of my surgery I weighed 420 pounds as of this morning I weighed 236 not even 10 months later. At age 37 I felt as if I was 70 putting on 20 to 30 pounds a year you just do not realize how bad you feel now I feel as if I am 20. The stuff that I can do now that I could not do just 9 short months ago absolutely blows my mind I feel amazing. if you were still on the fence on whether you should have this done or not take it from me absolutely go for it I spent 3 years contemplating and finally pulled the trigger after all the research I pick the perfect doctor had an absolutely pain free experience and most of all I felt safe the whole time. I cannot say enough about how this surgery has changed life for me I wish everything was this simple.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
