Brandy, Ok, now I'm really getting excited! You are right, I can do this! I can't wait to see the results. That must be so exciting for you to already be in smaller clothes so soon after surgery! Thanks for your words of encouragement and for sharing your experience with me....everyone has been awesome!

TZT heres an update. I went to the PS today and he told me that I could go back to work tomorrow. Of course, I decided to finish the week out of work. I am driving and walking much better and like everytone has said you can do this . Overall I think that this went smoothly. good luck with your surgery and please keep in touch.

OMG! Already? Wow, this is awesome news. One thing I was really worried about is that the school year would begin with me still hunched over in pain. I teach emotionally disturbed teens and need to be at the top of my game, so to speak. Best of wishes to you and a million thanks for helping (and spydr and Brandy as well). Pictures anytime soon????

as soon as I figure out how to post before and afters I will. but if you want to see my extra skin that was removed go to the thread panniculectomy that I started and somewhere in there is a pic of the 6lbs they took off.

Went out today and I can fit into a pair small yoga pants. me small ? I never used those two words together. also tried on a size med. dress.

As soon as I take some after pictures I will try to post them. I might need help. I know how to e-mail pictures, but I have never posted any on-line like this.

I'm a teacher too. I work with 5th grade difficult students. I WISH I had taken off more time. I really should have used two weeks. IF you can... take two weeks!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice. Are you happy with your surgery? I am teaching summer school until July 18, having surgery July 19 and do not have to return to school until Aug 19th ish. So I'll have a few weeks off. I was so afraid that 4 weeks wouldn't be enough but people on this thread have helped to ease my mind soooo much! I'm very grateful to you all!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
