Recommended Posts

my eyes are way bigger than my stomach (still)......

Guilt is not what I should feel if I eat a cupcake. ...

123lbs lost is actually great......

If I dont lose any weight 1 week its OK...

Feeling mad sometimes because I still cant eat salads or slaw is OK....

Being able to buy clothes anywhere is nice....

I can walk past Lane Bryant and I do NOT have to shop there!!!!!

The scale is NOT making me its b*tch I made it my b*tch!!!! :)

I enjoy compliments. ....

Being cold ALL of the time sucks!

Whenever I see french fries I smell grease which is a good thing right?

I still want to lose more weight but if I don't its starting to be OK....

Weight day of surgery: 350

Weight today: 224

Surgery date: 6/29/12

Height: 5'9 1/2

      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.
