:rolleyes: Surgery date is September 14th.

Let me just say....my therapist is certainly earning her money with me! I am all over the place! My food addict is whispering in my ear every damn day, trying to hold on for dear life. It is trying to plant doubt, hopelessness, fear and anger

9/14/15 Lets go!

@@tami1970 I feel terrible that I am a couple of days late to this but congrats! I have a very good friend that went to Dr Hill as well and loved him as well as had zero complications in the year and a half since her surgery.. Thinking of you!

Thank you Choosehope! Honestly, I wished more people facing surgery would and/or could get a therapist for the long haul. Surgery is the start of facing the demons that got us to this desperation. goodbye to our best bud - carbs and sugars!

My doctors group submitted to insurance a week ago, I asked them to submit before they thought I would get approved. I was told by the surgeons group, and several insurance reps that I needed to do a 6 month program, but I only did 3 and I was approved! Surgery is scheduled for 9/29. So excited!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
