Hey Mike,

I'm new too welcome! Do you have a surgery date yet? What part of the process are you at? I'm on month 2 of a 7 month insurance required diet.

G'day @@Mike Dumas

Welcome and all the best to you...

I was another 500+lb starter (565 actually) about 14 months ago...

I've lost around 240 of those pounds so far and am well on the way...

Mate, if you EVER have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them, either here or in Private Message...

As I'm sure you've noticed when you looked around, there's very little that's off limits and there's a whole lotta love and support in the place...

Good luck to you mate...

Keep us all updated!!

Kinda

that's great that you have been reading the board

learning good info

good luck to finishing jumping through the hoops of insurance

you'll get there sooner than later

some docs put you on pre-op (ex liquids only)

good luck with that!!

good luck

@@Mike Dumas WELCOME!!!!

Oh wait ... I think someone else already said that ;)

I'm in GA too ... Just outside of Atlanta ... had the sleeve last July ... been on the boards ever since ...

These people are my adopted family ... they are ALWAYS here when I need them ... To give me a hug or give me strength or a kick in the pants ...

You too will find them inspirational and motivational and probably the only ones in your life that actually "get it" ....

I wish you THE BEST and stick around ... You'll enjoy it !!!

You got this!

Be Blessed!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
