Slow and steady wins the race my friend! I have no doubt u will make goal. We will be cheering u on right along the way. Also...123lbs is absolutely amazing and nothing to take lightly. That's losing 12 supermodels!!

You are just too funny!

You'll get there, Dori. I think your loss has been astounding; a real testament to your commitment. I have been sidelined by my inability to exercise vigorously, too, but I figure we just have to trust the process. The important thing is for you to heal right now. You got this, my friend. Be well.

Kris

We have been similar in our medical problems and yet we keep on moving. Be well to you too!

Hope all goes well. Hope he is able to get ya fixed. Shopping almost done. Since we have limited space I'm doing a "shoebox" Christmas. I bought a bunch of little tins and filled them with goodies. That's about the extent of my shopping this year. Hope everyone is doing great!!

My goodness! Did it take time for me to get here! I thought my phone was broken or somethin. My rny talk app just wouldnt work anymore one random day! I was so frustrated! Tried to redownload it, but then it disappeared alltogether! And that is when i realised something is amiss. And at last i found you all!

Hiya all! Thanks for the welcoming party hehe ;-)

It is going okish. Still struggling with some mental issues. Thank goodness i cane to realise that i was eating before the op to self-medicate. Big realisation! And thank goodness i dont do that anymore. I am however kinda taking cough Syrup at times to zombify my anxiety a bit.

I know it is not good and very unhealthy. But i am trying to get theough it. This journey is one step at a time. Going to my paychiatrist again on monday, so perhaps he'll up my meds and i dont feel the need to self-medicate... Let's hope and pray for that.

Furthermore my country is in mourning for losing our greatest son, Nelson Mandela. I am quite distraught, as is all my fellow countrymen.

I missed you girls so much!

Glad you are going back to the psychiatrist and that you have had some break throughs. It is hard when we KNOW we shouldn't do something but just can't stop from doing it. Keep working on it; you will find a place where you can enjoy life again.

My condolences on the loss of a great leader.

Thinking of you my friend! ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
