Dont know what I am feeling. Mixture of doubt and excitement. Highest weight now and I don't know what else to do. Get xrays and ekg same day. Then dietician about a week from now. Got psych paperwork to fill out. I never binged on food so some of the questions seemed aimed at that. I make poor choices and dont exercise. Any one else feel that way?

I was actually going sleeve but I am leaning towards band. My family wants me to be able to reverse the procedure if I need to down the road. I am looking at about 100 to 125 to lose. I also cant afford to miss alot of work. So band seems to be it.

I just took my psychiatric evaluation this last Friday. Yes they have some odd questions. But i just answered honestly. My test was 450 questions. Waiting for results and have an procedure class next week. I am excited and nervous. The nurse at the Docs office said I should have my surgery the beginning of January. After approval of course. Just wish time would move faster. I'm just excited to get the ball rolling on weight loss and a new healthier 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? 🤷‍♀️
