You guys will do great too. I was a baby too... Cried right up until they put me

Out lol. Funny now but I can empathize with you guys cause I was there. Before you know it it will be over and six months from now you will look back and be grateful! Good luck to you both!

I'm doing very well!! Just finished my first 12 hours a day 7 day a week work shift. I was very tired the first couple days but I made it through and I'm down 10 pounds. :)

After a long absence I decided to come back and make a very quick post here... I celebrated my 2nd surgeversary a week or so ago. I started out at I think around 260 as my pre-op weight. Within shortly after a year I reached and exceeded my ideal weight of around 150-155... For the past year I have been successfully maintaining my weight... It fluctuates between 137 and 143, never below or above really. Have been very active and I still strictly adhere to a lifestyle of no to very low-carb eating habit with lots of Protein. I take my daily Vitamin supplements; do anywhere between 10-20 minutes of light to moderate cardio (nothing fancy). Try to take daily walks (I'm in a wheelchair, so I guess it'd be rolls?!). This was one of the best things I ever did for myself in my life. Oh and since we’re all adults here... let it suffice to say that the sex life has improved TREMENDOUSLY!!! OMG!

Just stay positive and try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Watch what you eat, when you eat, and how you eat it. Remember, just because you can have the cake and eat it too, you shouldn’t!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
