I had a revision done on the 16th from the band to the sleeve. So far I'm very happy with it. Wish I had done it sooner.

I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in but continue to sip away. I can't wait to get under 200, I haven't seen that number in at least 15yrs.

I went to happy hour the other day with some friends. They don't know about my surgery, and it dawned on me how much food plays a part in my life. They all kept offering me food and wondering why I wasn't drinking. Can't I be on a diet people, why is everything all about socializing with food and drink? It's frustrating.

@@Chazmataz I know exactly what you mean about everything being about food especially with Christmas approaching. It's been very challenging for me to keep my boundaries up and not cave to the pressure of eating when everyone else is eating and celebrating. Not because I want to it but just because of the constant pressure. Like you I didn't tell very many people and so most don't know and don't understand the sudden shift and restrictions I am following. I just try to be easy going about it all and enjoy their company and brush off the pressure :)

Congrats on your weight loss!

HI Chazmataz and happy post thanks giving Sleevers,

@@Chazmataz congrats on a conversion and keep sipping. Reading your post about going for happy hour is sooo true. My coworkers love happy hour and we go almost weekly. The last 3 weeks I have just sat with them and had Water, yes they offered me food and yes they looked at me funny, but I tell them i am try to drop a few pounds (more like couple hundred :) ) and so i am cutting back. They all give me credit for the will power but none of them know about my sleeve, they just know I am dropping a few pounds and I like it that way.

So yes take note of how much food plays and soon Played a role in your life. Soon you will be content with eating just a little and drinking your meals, because you will see the fruits of your labor.

      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.
