Just got back from vacation and can say its the best one I have ever had. We went to Williamsburg, VA and Washington D.C. I didn't have to worry about not keeping up when walking from place to place. Most the time I was the one least winded after hiking up the hill! I fit in all the rides at Busch Gardens (with room to spare). And Iost 1.5 lbs while on vacation and really didn't eat that great just didn't snack any and got my Water in. Got to say the sleeve is the best thing I have ever did for myself.

I just got back from vacation as well and it was definitely a great feeling to keep up with everyone and to be able to go on all the rides! I lost weight too, but I think that was mostly due to the stomach bug I had while I was there. Either way, I'll take it and hope it stays off as I get back into my normal routine at home.

Yay for a life full of many happy vacations ahead of us!

I'm about to go on vacation and you ladies are an inspiration, for me, this is my first vacation since surgery. Where we go, it's usually beer, burgers, and beaches, but I already know if I tried to have what I did before, it would now be impossible. It's been a long winter and I can't wait to get outdoors and see what this new body can do.

Just leaving from an awesome vacation! I'm 4 months post op and I didn't need the belt extender on the plane and I was able to go on every ride in the park comfortably!! Also made my "new me" debut on Facebook and loved the WOW

comments. Also loved walking 20k-25k steps per day without too much discomfort!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
