I see my surgeon on Friday, Jan. 16th. We are going to plan my date for Sleeve surgery. I had the Lap Band and it did not work for me. Too much discomfort from the port and my body does not like foreign objects in it. I had a lot of scar tissue wrapped around the band and its components. I have put on 25 lbs since its removal on July 29th. I am looking forward to this as I am ready for a change. I am newly married and my husband is a great support. This change will help out everyone in my family. I want more energy as I love to do so many different things and just too darn tired after work. I also sit in an office all day too! Everyone in my family is over weight with diabetes and HBP. I don't want to be living the way I see them living their lives. I have already started looking for a new job that will at least have me up and moving around.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
