12/2014 I woke up 40 yrs old; I was sick and sad. I needed to see a doctor for blood pressure refills and pulled up a map and located the closest doctor to my house. I wasn't looking to make any changes; but the doctor was so nice and non-judgemental; I felt obligated to lose weight, after all I was 402lbs. I started with high protein; low carbs and 1/2 phentermine. In one year I was down 99lbs and qualified for the RNY procedure. I am 3 months post op and down a total of 135lbs. I workout four times a week; sticking with rowing and cycling. I am 126lbs from goal weight and I have come so far. I am loving life and have zero regrets. Long way to go yet and I've come so far.post-288225-14591077631937_thumb.jpg post-288225-14591077958222_thumb.jpg

      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.
