@@edie091371 thank you and I am glad to hear you are feeling better! Constipation is no joke!

@@CHLOE12 thank you too! I don't know which one is worse! I am only down 7lbs and I am sure it's because of it!

Oh and I didn't like your post because I like the fact you both and relate but because you took the time to answer lol!

I am drinking and added miralax... We shall see.

On another note, this October group is AWESOME. I was in the October 2012 sleevers group and I must say no one from that time frame still posts.

I really hope we all can stay active in the forums. I think it helps us to stay accountable. Also it is great for newbies to have a frame of reference 1-2-3 years out. I went underground too so I am speaking from experience. I challenge us all to share our experiences the good, bad and ugly. As it is such a huge benefit to this forum.

I have added everyone new to our October list of Surgery's.

@@edie091371 Yes I'm on Facebook Terri Featherston I think it shows in OKC but I live in Eagle Rock Missouri now. I will try to look for you.

I'm doing great, except my bowels are soft & gas, but at least everything seems to be working! Very bored with the sip sip!! I have to wait 2 weeks to get soft foods!

@@edie091371 I have been drinking for my Water part of the time Powerade zero fruit punch. I do 12 rounds of 5- 1oz cups per hour, 2 with Protein Shake & 3 with water or poweradezero. Then when I'm done with that I just sip plain water occasionally till I go to bed! Keeps me really tied down waiting a few min. between sips. If i'm on fb or bariatric pal too long I get behind. Thank god for HGTV and I'm retired!!!

@@edie091371 Grey's is one of my favorite! Being tired was big for me, but today I feel pretty good! Have noticed a few jabs of slight pain on my left side, I imagine the healing pulling a little. I have a little nest going on in my living room too!!! I'm going to just enjoy!!! Have you seen Dexter? Revenge? I could name a bunch on Netflix!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
