I went for my 9 month post op visit yesterday.....everything checks out fine I've lost 102 lbs, blood levels are good. No nausea,vomitting or issues with the pouch. I am feeling fantastic, loads of energy, loving the new me!! and the new lifestyle of daily gym visits, not being a slave to the food around me. It's nice to finally have some normal habits like I have always seen healthier people have.

I want to make my goal by Oct 6th (my 45th birthday)....but with the stall I've been in since April not sure I'll make it. But I am dang sure gonna give it a go. I have finally started moving down again, lost inches...but the weight wasnt moving. I changed up my exercise routine and eating a little different and now it's going down again!

My family has been so supportive, friends have "donated" clothing and I am happier than I have been in years!

I sincerely hope those who are just starting out or just had surgery hang in there!! It is well worth the little pain for this journey! It's amazing! I wish you all as easy of a time as I have had so far!

:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
