Hello Everyone!!!

It's been a while since I posted anything but life has been great and on Friday at my doctor's appointment I got weighed and I have lost 102 lbs since my surgery on April 21st. On April 21st I weighed 285 lbs, today I weigh 185.6 lbs and I wear a size 14!!! I am very busy with school and working full-time and I'm only 12 credits away from receiving my bachelors degree in psychology. Life is definitely better when you subscribe to living a healthy lifestyle which includes exercising daily, eating clean, healthy food, getting your required amount of Protein, and drinking pleanty of good old Water. I walk five miles everyday and do strength training which includes sparring and yoga three times a week. I look good, feel good and I am grateful that I had all of you guys to give me encouragement that I could do this. I'll try to check in more often but to be honest I have so much energy now that doing anything that requires me to sit still is not an option. So for those of you who are still waiting for your surgery dates or to get approved for the surgery, be patient and don't give up; it is well worth the wait to live a happy and healthy life, God Bless You All!!!

Hello James, thanks for your kind words. It is amazing to see the results of the surgery and my determination to live a healthy lifestyle pay off in such a way. All of the pain and struggles with staying focused are gone and in there place is this passion and zest to just be healthy for the rest of my life. I'm smiling all over now and cannot believe how obese I once was ???????????????????? I'm In Love With The New Me!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
