So before surgery I had high cholesterol (254), high triglycerides (370+), high blood pressure and heart rate (average 150/100 with hr over 105) and was concidered pre diabetic.

As of today being almost 5 months post op and down almost 60lbs I have great bp and hr (120/80 with hr of 75 to 85; ive been off meds since month 1), normal triglycerides (low 200)and normal sugars. Unfortunately my cholesterol is exactly the same but that is a cruddy thing about genetics. Ive dropped 2 pants sizes and fit into all my old clothes that I put away a year ago when I couldnt fit in them anymore. It feels great. My doc wants me to drop 8 more lbs by my 6 month check up oct 21st, which is doable, but I cant do the gym for another 10 days because of having my gallbladder out only 2 weeks ago.

Before I ramble on forever I just wantto say im happy :)

Congratulations!

NSV's are just as exciting (sometimes more exciting) as watching the numbers go down on the scales. Great job!

      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.
