A great year tfar! My greatest fears before surgery was that I was going to be giving up so much, I thought I would lose my love of food, I thought I would have to deprive myself at parties and family get togethers, I thought I might become someone different. I had surgery in August and since then things have gotten nothing but better, I'm off all meds but one, I kicked the CPAP to the curb, I feel great, I'm not in constant pain, and I enjoy foods almost as much as before. I've been obese most of my adult life and I didn't know what being "normal" felt like, clothes fit so much better, I can walk and climb, I can bend over and tie my shoes- woo hoo! Doesn't sound like a major milestone to a normal person, but to someone who hasn't seen their toes in quite a few years, it's something to cheer about.

So, thanks for asking and to everyone who has been on this journey and to those who are ready to begin, here's to a new healthy and active life, best wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
