I'm so happy for you that you had the surgery to help your health and following your dreams by going to school. You are a great role model for people who think they can't do it. Congrats girl :-) You look great!!!

You look great. It's cool to change you're name but keep that bubbling personality the same.

I seem to be able to eat only 2 oz of meat and then I'm full. I am really curious as to, is this the norm? How much meat can you all eat before full. It doesn't leave room for anything else.

Thank you for being in my life and being with me. Xoxo

Gallbladder pain tonight. Ugh I hate it. Still have (sorry for this) diarrhea x 2 days. It's horrible. Any ideas for that other than Imodium AD. Everything I eat is running through me. I'm sorry all.

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs, I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my Protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink Protein Drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another!

Congrats on your weight loss! Sorry about the nausea and eating issues. Does the doctor have any answers about the nausea?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
