I started at 230, with a lot of comorbidity due to over weight.

I'm starting at 230!! I really hate that number!! My nutritionist said a goal of 150 is good for me, but my personal goal is 125. I will be happy at 150 though. Shoot, I'll be happy to be below 200 at this point!!

Congratulations on your success. You will lose that 19 pounds!! Good luck dear!!

thanks, my personal goal is to be 135, but the doc goal is 140, and now that I'm at 157, at 5 months out, I don't want to lose much more than 140. Keep us posted on your progress.

Great job! How do you stop losing when you reach goal? Do you have to intentionally increase calories? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question it's just a concern I have pre-op.

No question is to dumb to ask, yes, I will increase my calorie intake and build muscles.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
