Long time stalker, first time posting



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

This is my first time posting but I'm so happy to have found this forum. Just knowing you are not alone in the struggle has been refreshing. My surgeons office submitted my paperwork on June 10th, so I'm smack dab in the middle of the waiting game. I'm tentatively scheduled for surgery on Tuesday the 25th. Needless to say my emotions are all over the place. I know in my heart that I have made the absolute best decision not only for me but for my family. Ive known for a very long time that I cannot be the best Mom and Wife possible until I start taking care of me. So this is it "My time". I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you. Anyone out there from SJ or Philly???

I actually have not been sleeved yet. My date is not until September 23rd. I have just been taking my time to get mentally prepared for this lifestyle change. My biggest fear is not the surgery it self it is the psychological part of it. I want to be strong enough to fight off head hunger and believe that I can get this weight off.

I'm in south jersey! 2.5 weeks out and 30 lbs down. Dr. Neff was my surgeon.

30 lbs wow that's awesome!!!!! Is that all post-op or did you lose some before surgery? I live in Sicklerville/Erial near Camden County College. My surgeon is Dr. Salcone "Lady of Lourdes" in Camden.

I have been stuck at 17lbs lost since July 5th. I'm sure its partly because of lack of Protein and Water. How are you making out with that?? I just want to start losing consistently.

      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.
