Thanks Lioness813 Congrats 2 you, Recovery from surgery i have to say was great no complications at all thank God the only thing was that after surgery i could not drink my Protein Shakes the smell, the taste, i just can't and i haven't been able to do so since so i try and get my Protein from my foods, i don't feel hungry much of the time, a daily sample menu for me would be Vitamins in the morning, i have a boiled egg for Breakfast or some oatmeal, then 2 hours later i'll have some fruit and cheese, then if i get hungry for lunch i'll have some tuna with 3 or 4 unsalted crackers then dinner would be a chicken salad, or chicken and vegetables or Soup, i have already tried most of the foods i used to eat b4 surgery already like bread and rice which i dont eat much of because i feel are too strong on my little stomache, but i haven't had any problems with any of the foods yet i just feel my stomache very restricted still like 2 or 3 spoons or bites of something and i am full then in the evenings i take my Calcium vitamins and a snack before bed like a fruit, or sugar free hot cocoa something light

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
