Hi everyone my name is Janice and I glad to be here. I have been looking for this type of support group for a while now and finally.... here I am!!! I was banned on March 3, 2007 in Virginia. I have had 2 fills now and is very frustrated to report that I have lost only 22 pounds. I guess that is good because I have never lost that much at one time but the other part is I think that I should be so much further along. I work out and eat properly, (at least the best I know how). I am glad to be here to get support, support others and gain a better insight to what I am feeling-- especially from those who have been in my shoes. I am open to all the :help:, and :clap2: that your are willing to offer. In advance, thank you!!!

Janice

Congrats on your loss! I don't think 22 lbs is a small amount. I think slow but steady might be the best way to go. I'm sure when you have reached your goal, you will think back and smile. Hang in there. I'm still waiting...........

      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? 🤷‍♀️
