I hit my goal weight last year on my first trip to Vegas! It was my 50 bday and I was down to one pill from 8 a day. This year we went for my sister's bday about 2 weeks ago. And I am still within my 5 lb goal weight. We eat our way across vegas too! I just take my food back to the room if I can't eat it all. Also there is a big movement now among foodies for small and sharing! This has been great because that's how I roll! We can order 4 or 5 different things I can try them all and it doesn't get wasted or there not too much to lead me into temptation!

Hi! I really enjoy reading this stories. I've been having a horrible time with depression. I keep telling myself what the hell have I done. Am 37 4'10 and was 217 on the day of surgery 3/4/15. I had the lap band for 7 yrs but it failed. Pls tell me that things are gonna get better and am gonna b happy with the decision I made.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
