Sorry to be so late to reply, clearly I don't get email notifications!

I had my surgery on July 29th, and am doing wonderfully. I had a check-up with my family doctor at about 4 weeks post op, just for the sake of checking in, and my blood pressure had already gone from 150/90 pre-op to 107/74. My energy is up, my confidence is up, my clothes don't fit, and life is good. Recovery has been a lot easier than I expected.

Absolutely the BEST decision I have ever made for myself!! 52lbs down since I started my pre-op diet, and 30lbs down since surgery!

This is so great to hear!

I hadn't seen a post from you since you were scheduled for surgery so I was a bit worried!

Did you get a chance to take some photos while you were in Mexico? How did it go?

No, I opted not to bring my good camera. I didn't anticipate feeling as awesome as I did (was shopping the day after surgery for trinkets for my kids). That's ok. I will be going back for boobs eventually LOL I can take it then!

The trip was nice, I woke up from surgery feeling fairly groggy and dizzy. But once that passed (a few hours), I felt WAY better than I expected.

Out of the 4 who were done the same day as me, the 4 or 5 that were done the day before, and the 5 who were done the day after only 1 was feeling sick for the first few days. I think I was the perkiest and most energetic though.

Glad to hear you had such a good recovery.

By the way, I downloaded the Camera Plus app to my phone and have been playing with it a little bit.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
