Recommended Posts

Sooooo after a long battle with the bulge and beginning a weightloss program,moving, leaving 1 program ,attempting weightloss on my own...failing miserably.. Beginning an another program getting all the way to the end & scheduling surgery only to be told 3 days before that my insurance at the time (aetna) was the only sector of that insurance that had an exclusion.... Sad face!!! Then,I got the word that my employer would be switching to new insurance Happy face!!! ...So Jan13 my new insurance kicked in (IDX blue/highmark) and i was told I had to do the 6 mo diet ordeal ... Well my 6 months are up my paperwork was submitted on 6/10 and 2 days later I got the call that IM APPROVED !!!!... NO QUESTIONS NO ISSUES ... So 8/14 is my date im so happy but it still dosnt seem real !!! This sight has been NOTHING short of a best friend for me encouraging me holding my hand and giving me hope and determination that i can do this and i deserve this so thanks to all of you beautiful postive people .... Keep on losin:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
