What's up you guys I will be 2 years post op in February and being sleeved is great. My sleeve has never given me any problems. Though I can eat more now than I could 6 months after surgery (which is normal) I still can't eat a full or regular size plate of anything. Everything is holding up. My confidence has been at an all time high. One thing they really don't prepare you for is during your pre op testing and therapy is how to deal with all the new attention you get. Whether good or bad depending on how you handle this it can and will be sometimes overwhelming. That may be the only not so good thing though. Other than that the skinny life is great. One more thing? When weighing yourself after surgery should we minus about 7 to 5 pounds for loose skin? Sounds silly I know but what do you guys think?

307 1st weigh in

287 day of surgery

177 last year

181 now.

I can just say I hope to have your attentions problems soon. How long did it take to put on the muscle? Did you increase Protein to get there?

The minus 5-7 lbs is just so you know it is not fat you still need to lose, muscle weighs more too.

it didn't take long to tack on the muscle I feel like it was underneath the fat all along. But I'm as big as I want to get just working out to maintain that's all. Thanks everyone for the love and good luck on you weight loss journey. Can't wait to see your pictures. Let's motivate each other.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
