I was having trouble sleeping too. Called my surgeon and they recommended dissolvable melatonin- I got mine at Walgreens. It has helped me so much! I slept only 2 hours Sunday night but since then much better.

I feel the same way when I look at older pics of myself. I think how in the world did I get this big and not notice!

All I did today is drink Water like crazy because its hot at my house no air conditioner and now im on my lunch break or should I say water break

The heat always makes me crave water more. That might be the ONLY thing I like about the summertime. Maybe the smaller I get my outlook on summer might change.

After standing on my feet for 8hrs I am tired but I feel like I must do some type of exercise. I think I'm gonna force myself to do zumba. How does everyone else do with working and exercising?

I'm ashamed!!! I'm slacking alot since I've went back to work cause the hours and the commute and just so hot I'm having to force myself to keep moving. Nothing like I was just 2 weeks before even. Excuses I know but my fatigue is still kicking my butt. Hope he does some labs tomorrow make sure I'm squared away. Can't believe almost all our April peeps here are about 2 months!!

I'm also 10 weeks out' date=' I've lost about 1/3 of mine. I had 4 inches cut off so the curls might bounce up a bit and look fuller.

Good news I can always order a fabulous wig from one of those drag queen fashion websites, LOL!

Also try the Biotin Shampoo and conditioner... You can get it from Walmart. My mom started using it and she says her hair has been fuller! Hope it helps.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
