So after changing some things around with my profile I guess I deleted the original one!

I am scheduled for August 19 at a military treatment facility. I am super excited, super scared and nervous.

I am not telling family beyond my husband and one of my sister-in-laws. I also told 4 friends, 1 friend found out I was considering it and she was very unsupportive so I most likely will not be telling her that I am scheduled and probably not even after. Privacy during my recovery should be relatively easy to maintain as we don't live around family.

I am blogging my experience as being a military dependent has different challenges and I am one of 2 people from our base who has done this (our base does not offer the surgery and can only refer out for gastric bypass and the band, so I have had to travel to another base several hours away). I am hoping that the struggles I have faced to get into the program will help someone else, right now my blog is not live but after surgery I will change the settings. Hopefully I can pave to the way for someone else who is interested.

My surgery date is August 19 too, I understand not sharing with many, as I've chosen to not do so either, my husband and kids know, along 2 closest friends and my favorite cousin. That's it. I've found that many people, including family can be rude and unsupportive, of which I just don't want or need so they don't need to know anything. Good luck on your surgery and your new life! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
