Yeah. I actually skipped class this am so I could sleep in, because I KNOW I won't sleep tonight. Hah. Between excitement and the bowel prep, I'm sure I'll be lucky if I even can take a nap. Lol

We got this! We're gonna make this fat out b!tch and kick it to the curb!

Y'all are so pumped up for surgery! That's fantastic. I'm 8 months post-op and am so happy that I had the surgery. Lots of days in the beginning I didn't feel that way and even some days later. With the help of my family, friends, physical trainer and THERAPIST, I'm looking at a completely different life. I've lost 80 pounds (slow loser), but have maintained (and gained!) muscle mass thanks to having an amazing trainer and lots of support at my gym. I'm at my half-way mark so 80 more to go.

Ways my life has changed:

I do in one day what used to take a week

Fantastic high heeled shoes are in constant rotation now

Mental acuity is significantly better

Shoe size is even a size smaller

I can sit anywhere at sporting events now even all the way to top row of bleachers

I can buckle the seatbelt on the airplane now WITH SEVERAL INCHES TO SPARE

Eating enough Protein is still a challenge

Shopping in regular sized clothing now (size XL- woo hoo!)

The only body aches I have are from working out

Sex is different now - not better, not worst. Different.

Cut off my long hair

I've rid myself of all kinds of extraneous "protection" - fat, hair, too much stuff in my house, too many clothes...

The first few months were brutal for me emotionally. I had a lot of work to do on myself to uncover why I was hiding behind all the weight and all the material possessions. Excavation is still underway, but I really like what I'm uncovering.

Good luck to all of you and this mission!

Yes we did! Are you home or still at the hospital? And I'm tired too. But I think it's from the pain stuff. And I just walked, and getting into a hospital bed with an iv a call light and other stuff is really hard. And hurts. Hah.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
