Send some good thoughts my way-My last check-in for the mandatory 6 months of supervised diet, endless labs, classes, support groups, etc is TOMORROW. I'm really hoping they submit to insurance and start scheduling me for surgery!!!

Today is a very important day for my family! I need all the prayers and positive thoughts I can get. I leave at 10:30am for my doctor's appt-should be last of my six month check-ins, and my hubby has a VERY important interview today. Send those positive thoughts and prayers our way. I'll update later. (HOPEFULLY I GET MY DATE!!!)

Hi everyone, just an update. Doctor's appt. went well. My doctor is now "writing the letter" to the insurance company for approval and I'm awaiting a call from the hospital for a date to meet with the surgeon and HOPEFULLY get a tentative surgery date. I'm getting jealous of people who have their dates! :)

Also-hubby's interview went well. THANK YOU GOD!!!

UPDATE!!! I FINALLY GOT MY SURGEON MEETING DATE-I meet with him on Feb 25th!

      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.
