Today is my first day back to work in the office. I worked from home last week. Surgery was on 9/10 and I took 2 weeks off. Plenty of time for me. On a bright note' date=' I had to do my wellness screening for work to get a discount on my insurance premiums and.....I went from a high BMI of 41 to a 35 today! Highest weight was 225 and today I'm 191 (34 pounds total, 19 since surgery). Yes, I'm counting every single pound gone since I started this journey a year ago!![/quote']

Woo Hoo! Way to go!!!

Hi my name is Gerry and i live in Rome Ga. My heaviest weight was 240 this summer...Im 5'2" tall. With finishing the diet and two weeks of shakes I weighed in day of surgery at 207. I came home weighing 215 due to be hydrated like a wet sponge and bow down to 203. Surgery was Sept 26 2012. I walk often cause pain is worse after eating and drinking. I eat 4 ounces every 2 hours. I hope this works.

Good job ladybug! My surgery wad the 10th, i came back to office after 2 weeks.which was probably to soon for me.they had to repair a ruptured hiatal hernia while they were in there. So i am still in a lot of pain in my belly button area. Bless those of you who are able to eat every 2 hours, i am doing good to easy twice a day....i want so badly to find my silver lining already, but have not got there yet. Day of surgery 236, today 213...= -23 lb.in 3 weeks, but i just wish i felt better to truly appreciate it....

FACEBOOK PAGE!!!!! September to Remember 2012 RNY yeah i finally did it sorry it took so long' date=' send a request as i did keep it closed for privacy reasons, you will see my husband is on there i will remove him as I had to add at least one person in order to get the group open. If for any reason anyone doesn't not want the group CLOSED i can open it. I just thought with photo stealing and unwanted advertising, plus then anyone on Facebook could post and open comments they wanted to with out joining the group.... yea.... i hope you all happy... but please dont stop coming to this forum as i still find a lot of good information. i just figured FB would be nice to get to know another and share pics and additional information in a easier format. hope you enjoy...[/quote']

So I was discharge from the hospital yesterday and honestly my pain is minimal. I have been passing a little gas, still no BM...and I can tolerate drinking a little cold with a little pain and warm liquids. I have climbed 2 flights of stairs but I'm still taking it easy....my taste buds haven't changed because I am constantly thinking of all the yummy food inventions I will create... :( bored with broths, Jello and Popsicles

      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? 🤷‍♀️
