Moving and baking? You're a superwoman...I decided to forget Cookies this year...I spend a ridiculous amount of money baking, and no one in our family needs the calories..least of all me. I'll just do some candy and make dessert for Christmas. I'm already getting flak for not baking...that's usually Breakfast on Christmas morning. Maybe I'll do brunch instead. Egg bake and German pancake with buttermilk Syrup.< /p>

Yes she is superwoman! We are doing a Christmas brunch at home too since our big family Christmas with the parents and siblings is on the 28th this year. Egg bake and stuffed french toast for everyone else. Sounds delish! How about them Packers! ;) just about had a heart attack! ;)

Glad you're getting it checked out...weird about the hives! Could you be allergic to something your taking. I found out I was allergic to amoxicillin when I took for strep throat.

So..medical update...I saw the head of neurosurgery at UW Wisconsin...he works in a team , so I'll be seeing a neurologist, an ENT and him. More tests, but they hope they can find a non surgical approach. Quite the difference from the other doctor who just said to live with it and sent me back to pain management. It goes to show how proactive we need to be with our health.

Being more than 6 months out now...who in this April group has met your surgeons goal? I'm still 10 lbs shy of meeting his goal and and 29 lbs from meeting my goal! I'm very grateful for the pounds i have lost and feel so much better. No more blood pressure meds and cholesterol is now 160...but man, this is going at a snails pace!!!...oh, and i thought i was not a dumper...but after indulging in more than a few Christmas cookies...I discovered i am in fact a late dumper...but it's not too bad. Here's a pic from Thanksgiving with the huz. I really am not that small...i was squished up against him...LOL

Glad you got a second opinion. UW hospital is great. Hope they can help! ;) Good luck! Oh and the Lions lost! Woohoo!

Wow you are looking good! My surgeon never set a goal for me but the goal i set for myself was 170. I am at 208 so not too far off. Loss had slowed for me but seems to be picking up this last two weeks. I dumped once too bad it was late. I stay away from any sweets cuz I'd be done in a heartbeat. They are my downfall. Glad you are off the meds and blood work is good. Keep it up!! ;)

Oh how many times have I heard just live with it. How about you just live with the pain you get when I kick you in your balls....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
