Got a date 2/23, can't wait



Recommended Posts

Finishing my 18 requires health classes, got through almost all my dr visits, need psych and Endoscopy, but getting excited. My dr wants 3 weeks liver shrink, I'll get details in Jan on diet. But with just the classes so far, I'm 15 lbs down.

Nervous about after and hoping my post op vision for myself is realistic. Started at 368, down to 353, goal is somewhere about 200.

What I am most looking forward to is being able to be active and move again. I want to do Spartan runs and Ragnar runs, I hope that is realistic. Here's to hope!

2/23 seems so far away, and I guess I'm focusing on the food right now, thinking things like "this will be my last big thanksgiving, or last big birthday dinner." I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and if I could move my date to tomorrow I would. I hope these 3 months fly by. Very excited to see what's on the other end of this journey.

They will zoom by. I started this process 4/27 of this year and will be having gastric bypass on 12/5 I'm on day 6 of my two week pre op diet now. I'm sure you will reach all of your goals. Learn all you can. Best wishes.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
