When I first joined BariatricPal I thought the Veteran's Forum was for military veterans. So, I skipped over the posts thinking -- isn't it great that veterans have their own forum but since I'm not one it's not for me. I did wonder was what unique problems they may have other than navigating the VA.

Now that I know what the Veterans Forum is for I still notice when military veterans post.

To all the Veteran's who have served my country (USA) and those from around the world who have served to make our world a better place --- THANK YOU!

@ Just Watch Me, you are doing great! You've broken the 200 mark. Good for you!

I'm hoping I am there before I head off to Florida the end of January. I'm 19 pounds away. I will be 2 months post-op on the 16th of this month.

I will be happy not to have to use a seatbelt extender too, used to be so embarassed. I used to dread flying because of the seating and used to have anxiety about it.

Hugs

B-52: "Welcome Home"!! Don't know when you were in 'Nam, but I was there for a very short while from Dec 72-Jan 73 on a flight detail to solely bring our fallen back home to the USA. I am a Life Member of the Vietnam Veterans of America and the VFW.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
