Wish I could see what I imagine is a giant smile on your face! What's your weight loss 6 weeks out? Are you feeling good? How long were you out of work or had lifting restrictions? I have a year old and that's my biggest worry is not being able to pick him up for so long.

thnx!! I will start taking better pics...I just never noticed until I did the side by side! I am pretty bottom heavy....so i am waiting to lose some "thigh weight"

tomorrow is my 6 week visit . I should be cleared to work on Monday I have a desk job so I could have went back weeks ago.

I felt pretty good right away. I think I did too much too soon. I was doing laundry and vacuuming a week out.

thanks for commenting....being a loser has never felt so good!

CONGRATULATIONS!! Your post gives me so much hope!! I do have a question. In your first post, you mentioned having an abdominal band with you at the hospital. Do you mind sharing more information about that? My doc called tonight to let me know he had an opening on 5/31 so that is now my surgery date and I just want to make sure I have everything in place with it being only a few short weeks away. Thank you in advance and again, CONGRATULATIONS!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
