Hello everyone it's been awhile... I had my cousin wedding this past weekend and of course I wanted to show myself off to my family that doesn't see me everyday... I weighed myself before I went I'm down to 189lbs Holla... I'm so thrilled and stoked with my progress... So I've lost a total since october 2012 pre op of 86lbs and total lost weigh since surgery 6/24/13 of 69 lbs ?de2c... I ate the seafood they had there but I forgot to not drink half hour after and I had to run to the bathroom and throw up but I only threw up the liquid so that's good ... And still having alittle trouble going number 2 it's like I'm constipated really badly and then I have to take a laxative to softin it n force it out ... But over all everything's good I'm still trying to get all my Protein in with just food lots if seafoods and chili.. And the occasional wawa protein smoothies before work... But I got a lot of compliments from my relatives that just boosted my self esteem... And my boyfriend (oh wow let's just say he loved me before the surgery but now after showing me so much more attention... I'm not complaining haha Hoping now for that ring in the near future lol)

My jewelry that didn't fit before now fits and my rings I have to get ring guards for it's just been amazing... How every inch everywhere is losing weight!!!

Congratulations! on the positive attitude and weight loss. you look great! i know you must be in the Philadelphia area or mid-atlantic ....you actually know what a WaWa is :-)

Have a great day.

I'm excited for my Doctors appointment tomorrow 3 months post op. Down 87 lbs since my first appointment with the doc. Down 70 since surgery.

Knock on wood I've been blessed. I haven't had any dumping syndrome and not tossing my Cookies. But, I haven't had any breads, rice, pastas. I'm feeling good.

I fell like all i do us eat and drink and drink and eat but I'm not ever hiring my goal of 850 cal/day. I'm getting all my Protein and then some but just can't seem to eat enough.

Any one else having this problem?

Here is a weird thing i noticed this week. you Ladies out there may not be able to identify with this, but here we go anyway :-)

in the past 30 years i have shaved my face every third day and never had any problems. i chalked it up to my irish heritage and fair skin etc.

i was apparently wrong! the hair must have not been long enough to get through all of the fat layers...lol. i now have to shave every day and decided to grow a full beard ( trimmed neatly) for the winter.

im kinda of psyched about this shaving thing...just sayin

Have a great day.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
