Hi everyone m my name is Christi and tomorrow I will have finally made it thru my first week. My surgery was on Monday January 19, 2015. This process took me right at a year to get here, I kept wondering why things kept happening, to change everything. Now I've seen what and why God kept putting things in my way , until HE had it all exactly the right way for me and for things to work out the way it did. This 1 st week has been challenging to say the last, staying on the clear liquid diet , yet smelling the wonderful food being cooked food everyone else my tummy rumbles just crying out for something to eat. I've had good days and bad ones, besides all the pains and cramps of getting rid of all the gas, I've been able to get out of the house to walk, maybe to Walmart , I just hold onto cart for dear life remembering why I did this again. Then the next day I can barely move. I have great support from family and husband who can't wait for the new me too get here. But I do have to remind him, honey I'm still healing it's only been a few days ago, remember. . Today is one of my wore out days, totally drained. Yesterday we went to get me more of this "yummy" Isopure liquid to drink and I got in and out of the car several times, did a few stairs and w with that walking several stores. I was exausted by time we got home. I pray week 2 is a lot easier, as I think ahead of how my life will be changing, and what my food intake needs to be, counting calories, or carbs, or even fat content , isn't that part of what got me this way? So I hope to pick up some pointers on cooking great healthy food, new exercise and mostly how to change my thought process on how I look at myself, from the inside out. Thank you all for letting me ramble on, looking forward to meeting lots of new people and hopefully making new friends along the way.

Congratulations @Christi6972. My surgery was on January 20, 2015 so I'm just a day behind you big sister. Lol. I should try the Isopure I have been taking my Premier Protein shakes. What flavors are the best in your opinion? I will pray for us both that week 2 is easier.

Congratulations on your decision. I promise it will get better as time goes on. This is especially true when u see the numbers going down on the scale and the non scale victories. Sleeved 11/11and down 40 pounds and 3 sizes.

      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!!
