So I am just starting my process. I have began to get blood work in order, sleep study appointments, and things like that together. I don't want to wait 6 months so if I'm approved though my husband's insurance I plan on doing the 3 month plan. It is going to cost some money upfront but I'm going to see if maybe some friends and family can help. In order to get started I have to pay the psychologist, nutritionist, exercise coordinator. Then I have to pay per visit for the next 3 months. The first month will be the hardest cause school is about to start back and my husband just changed shifts so he is making less hours. I was suppose to be working more but that got put on hold. I'm just praying and I know GOD will work it out. I'm pushing to get this done so we can buy our house the first of the year. I can take off work now before the mortgage comes in. Lol

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have had people tell me bad things already and not even encourage me to do what I think is right. workout they say, or what are you eating. It had been 365 plus days and I'm still in the same place I was in last year. Thinking about weight loss surgery. It must be a reason. My dad told me if I would have already done it last year I would already be reaping the benefits. I never thought of it like that. But i really wanted to try it myeslf. Back were I was but moving forward.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
