You guys will love it! Now that I'm past the hardest weeks, it's so nice seeing those numbers drop! It's not even the weightloss, I feel so much better in general. Walking is so much easier. I don't feel as weighed down as I did before, and the loose clothing is refreshing!

I'm excited starting to get nervous about the pain and everything now that I'm only a week away

the pain isn't bad at all. Mostly it was being sore for a week or so. I ended up with horrible bruising, but I believe had I not had that, I would have been fine after the first week. I had a reaction to the pain meds in the hospital which caused me to vomit everytime I received it. My biggest issue was nausea post op. I had to take zofran daily until last week.

The end result is definitely worth it. In my near 77 week journey, I've lost 35, two pant sizes, and two shirt sizes.

Nice to meet you! Where did you get it done?

Mexico lol my insurance doesn't cover it and it was too expensive to pay out of pocket at any hospitals in the area. I'm going to Abington for follow up care.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
