Recommended Posts

In other news, I told my mom about the surgery! She was like, "oh yea, two of my church members had that done, good for you!" Lol, pleasant surprise bc I told her yesterday which was two year anniversary of Dad's passing. The coolest thing ever, was that just as I was about to cry (missing dad) the phone rang and it was the surgeons office telling me they were sending my info to insurance co. No tears after all,just happy about taking control of my life. :-)

Things are good! In my body, I feel good! My Fitness Pal is an app where you are able to log your food and keep track of your meals. You are able to "friend" people and view their menu to get food ideas.

Oh yea! Lol, I should have remembered that! Question, did you have to keep a food diary? If so, did keep one while you were waiting for your surgery date?

I so meed a buddy/mentor right now. I had my surgery July 30, 2013 so 6 months now.. and I've lost 56 lbs, yay! I've been at the same weight for more then two weeks now. To be honest.. my diet has not been the best. I am afraid I've stretched my stomach because at night I can't seem to curve my appetite. I have IBS and drinking Protein drinks only causes flare ups which makes leaving the house very difficult. I've also been losing my hair, a lot which has me depressed. I am taking supplements & using Hair loss shampoo/conditioner. HELP!!

Cliftongirl, for additional support i joined instagram (mycupofjojo) and searched wls (weight loss surgery) and vgs vertical gastric sleeve, rny etc. I think people respond quicker on there. I'm still pre op but everything youre describing is stuff I see on my feed every day!

Mary did you get your surgery done before 2014?

Girl, I wish! Work and family bumped my schedule. I'm scheduled for March 5th. Looks like self pay, but oh well.

      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.
