I finally did the last thing that they wanted, to get my A1C down. I did, from 8.9 to 6.9, amazing !!

Now will wait to hear when I can see the surgeon. I am so excited and feel like I am finally moving forward.

My NUT said no gummies because those Vitamins are not as high quality and the gummies have a lot of carbs for what you get. Boo. But I changed over to the nasty Bariatric Advantage chewables and I haven't died yet but I do screw up my face every day when I chew them.

I just wanted to duck in here and claim my seat in the 50s group. I turned 50 last summer and still don't feel like I am mentally there yet. Physically, I was falling apart.

I was sleeved on April 20 and couldn't be happier with my recovery and progress so far.

When I turn 51 this summer, I will definitely be in a different place physically.

This is the year I regain my mobility and start to get my life back!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
