The ones who have had surgery, how is everything? Time flies and it's almost a month I had the surgery. I am doing well and started to lose again. Had a 2 week stall. Just joined the gym and this will get the ball rolling! Survived the storm yesterday, 34.5" of snow!! I hope everyone is all well.

I had surgery Sept. 10, 2014, and at my 3 month weigh in I am down 50 pounds. It was a vary welcome surprise, as I don't own a scale. I was still feeling so tired and when I spoke with my doctors about it, they suggested to have blood work done again. Found out that I was low on Iron. After adding a Iron supplement, I'm feeling better, less tired. I do feel that taking your Vitamins, B's, and other supplements is very important, you can really feel tired and sluggish if you miss one day of them.

Just went in for my 6 month follow up on March 10, 2014.

I've lost 60lbs, and I feel 110% better than before! I'm finding that I can eat small amounts of anything I want, bread (Dave's Killer bread, thin sliced) is best toasted, and I've learned a sandwich with toasted bread, is really pretty good.

I did start to lose my hair, but found that straight boiten (?) works the best for me, not the hair, skin,nail combo pill. I am getting better at letting my old clothes go, as I still think "what if this doesn't work"? then I laugh and put something else in the Goodwill bag. Now I just need to get the bag to Goodwill! LOL.

I still don't own a scale, tossing around the idea of buying one, as my next appointment isn't until my 1 year date. Oh well, plenty of time to decide.

I will say, it has been hard at times, but the BEST decision I have ever made, and would totally make the same choice again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
