With all the diets, workouts and more I find it difficult to lose weight with the stress Im under consistently. I need help, I need to be there for my children!
I have Fatty Liver, Obstructive sleep Apnea, Borderline diabetes, Sciatica Pain, Hiatal Hernia and more.
My Stats are
BMI : 220 / 220lbs / 5'3

Sleevedmel2015, I am same weight and height. My surgery is in August. Don't have exact date yet. Have my end June 5th. Have finished everything else so should have a tentative date soon. I am 48 yes old, mother of 3, Nana to 4. I've had 5 back surgeries and have very bad back. That's how I gained all this extra weight. But on a new outlook of exercise and better eating habits.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
