Recommended Posts

Keep up the great work and don't beat yourself up. Have you joined te group on Facebook called "BariatricEatingSupport"? They are a no nonsense group that I have found very helpful. They also have a website for Protein drinks Vitamins and thingsfor Constipation. I have struggled always with constipation and my Dr have me a supplement called super aloe 450 two weeks ago. You take it at night and you will have bowel movement the next day. I have had at least 1 or 2 a day since. I had tried everything previously. On a more personal note for me..I finally received the paperwork from Dr Snow's office so I can schedule an appt..yeah!!!

I haven't joined any support groups yet although I have tried to find a local group with no real results.

I hope your appointment goes well I have a followup on the 29th.

I haven't been on here in forever but wanted to post a quick update.

I'm down to 147 which I still find crazy my goal was 155.

I'm preparing to have a lower body lift and I'm hoping for some breast "work" but I still need to see a few more surgeons.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
