My 6 month surgiversary was on the 3rd but I hit the 100lb mark yesterday from my preop weight. Now, unfortunately the last 8lbs was from some serious dehydration from being sick (not surgery related) and I expect some of it to come back, but I figured I'm sick and miserable so I might as well Celebrate what I can. I'm down from a 24 bottom 3x top to a 14 and L tops. I actually bought my first medium at old navy last night!

At this point I have no regrets. This has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Hi, I am all for celebrating and the 100 lb mark is down right a miracle in my book. Do you have the flu? Hope you feel better soon

Congratulations!! You look great, I see you have been in a race as well. Way to grab on to your second chance. I have no regrets either. Past my 1/2 way mark, 71 lbs to go. We are so blessed to have this opportunity for a healthier life.

Thanks everyone.

I didn't have the flu. I got sick almost 3 weeks ago right after the walk I did. They thought it was a sinus infection but it turns out I actually have asthma. I've been trying so hard to work out since I fully recovered from surgery and I've been struggling with getting sick for a prolonged period twice and I just have trouble running for more than about 30 seconds at a time. Now I know why. But at least now I've got it figured out I can approach the gym knowing it's just going to take me longer than it would other people. I've just got to baby my lungs a bit.

Congrats. As a fellow asthma person I find that I can do other cardiovascular things that don't involve running. Like I can do most classes without having shortness of breath.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
