My name is Courtney, I'm 26, I live in Iowa. I decided to join to have a support system for the long road ahead. :) I'm 5'3 and started this journey weighing 262 lbs at the start of my 6 month supervised diet. I had my pre op appointment this past Thursday, April 25, and weighed 244. Almost 20lbs gone and optimistic for what lies ahead! Nervous but ready!

Surgery went well. No setbacks. I got home Wednesday night. Tried to stop the pain meds last night. Still a lot of stomach pain. Went back on them this morning. Feels like someone hitting me in the stomach! I came home 15 lbs heavier than when I went in. I have lost 9 lbs since getting home. I'm going for walks, drinking my Water & for a treat I eat a SF Popsicle! Life is good and I am taking it one day at a time! Love to all!!

      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.
