Recommended Posts

For those locals here, please keep in mind the support groups. I had my surgery done at Albany Med and there is a support group every Thursday at 530pm. It's at 25 Hackett Blvd in Albany, first floor. It really is a great group and all are welcome. BTW my loves I am in 'ONEderland'!!! Surgery was. October 7th and down over 50 pounds and have lost 38% excess body weight (average is 55% over a 15 month period). So glad to feel the way I feel, I feel more energetic, full of life and yes for once sexy lol. Updated pic ;-) ignore the penguin pajamas as I took this a few mins ago lol. Nighty nights!!

rensterness; LOVE the picture, penguins and all. Yep, I am hoping to get to a support meeting soon. Tomorrow is the team meeting and I am supposed to get a phone call when it is over. Did my quota in Cooperstown, 2 hrs from my home, in order for the whole thing to get okayed. Now, I more want to go for me.I absolutely want the first available date AND I really would like to meet you and other folks in Albany-just a dozen miles away.

I'm a total penguin nerd lol. Things are going to work out perfecto for you, think positive!! The support groups are amazing and soooo beneficial! I would def meet up with you for one if you would like. I'm always upto meeting new people that are on this journey and it would be great. I'm still waiting to meet Auntie Vick. In five weeks I've lost 50 pounds, but gotta remember men lose quicker then women. Damn us men, I know lol. Keep up the positive attitude!!!

That's right, damn you men! Haha. I am so happy for you! Onederland seemed like such a dream at that start, now we are both here. Been fighting with this website for a week, now I am finally back. Been hitting Planet Fatness (old habits die hard) here in the Bush three times a week. Struggling with snacking, but getting a better grip on it. Almonds are like crack to me, I need to keep them out of the house. And my hair is falling out in clumps now. What is that about? I thought it would be over by now. I don't regret for one minute having this surgery. I wish I had done it sooner. Rensterness, we need to meet for coffee.< /p>

Congrats HC! Get that therapist in gear!

Rensterness.....this weekend. I will text yountomorrow to see what works. I have yet to be to Starbucks as I am a diehard DD girl, but would try a blond roast. You pick which side of the road.

Oh, and I take the Biotin too AND use the Biotin and collagen Shampoo. I think my hair is the only part of me not adjusting to this. Yikes!

No we have not. Auntie Vick isn't on all the time so I think she may have texted my other number and not of got my new number I sent to her in a message in time :-( When she gets on she will see it. Hoping she doesn't think I was ignoring her, Auntie Vick is a total sweet heart :-)

      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.
