I did my last dietary yesterday. They were going to turn it into insurance today. Said it takes about a week. Oh the wait.....Is there anyone on here from or around the Bowling Green, Kentucky area??? I haven't been able to locate anyone. Would like to have a buddy.

I will be using The Medical Center in Bowling Green. I have BC/BS. They are wanting me to have my surgery before years end. I am excited but I am not patient when it comes to waiting for answers. Hopeful to get my date by next Wednesday. How about you? Where are you having your surgery?

I think they just want me to maintain. I'm afraid to get below my bmi cuz I was on the edge.

They would like for you to lose weight but not a requirement. Just can not weigh more on surgery day than you did on your first weigh in. I have lost 29 lbs. I have cut out all sodas, fried foods and very low carb consumption. Was hard for the first few weeks but it became a habit and now I don't think about it. I was reluctant that I would be able to do it, but I have and can't wait to get my date.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
