Ok this is a strange one. I have a speaker in my car that is blown and has been for awhile. It's in my center console. Up until now my butt muffled it so I couldn't hear it as much but now its the only thing I hear. So yea!! that I can hear it but boooo!! that I now have to buy a new speaker. Whatever tho' date=' I'll spend 50 on a new speaker and be skinny. Lol.[/quote']

:D oh how funny!!!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 204.6

Today I had the experience of having to park very close to another car. I thought "I'm never going to make it out of my car door". And yet, to my surprise, even though the door only opened A foot or so, I was able to slip out quite easily!

By way way, up until the stroke, I walked all over, even up tons of stairs. The five songs I did get to see were sublime!

After a multitude of tests, they found the events ( i had 2) were transient. Now on blood thinners and should be fine. Was scary, though....slurred speech, confusion,inabilty to speak. And I missed the shhow. My son stayed( i insisted) and he said the concert was awesome!

Yesterday while grocery shopping I saw an old friend from high school. Before I would usually duck and hide so they wouldn't see how much weight I had gained after high school. Yesterday I actually felt proud of myself and decided to say hi. It was so nice. We caught up for a few then I bumped into someone else!! It felt good not to be ashamed.

I am going to my 20th ha reunion tonight! Although I am still about 50 lbs heavier than I was in hs, I am still much more confident in this body than in one that weighed 86 lbs more just months ago. It really is such a great feeling, be proud girl!!

So glad you are ok! A friend of mine had a mini stroke right after here surgery.. She was down about 70lbs or so and her doctor said she probably wouldn't have been with us if she hasn't taken off all that weight prior to the stroke. Praise The Lord for his perfect timing (even with the bad stuff).

      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? 🤷‍♀️
