5 year surgiversary - say what?!



Recommended Posts

yep

that's right, you heard me :rolleyes:

it's been 5 years since i took that stretcher down the long hallway!!

hard to believe!!

life is soooo different before and after being sleeved

too many NSV's to shake a stick at

newbies et al, you'll be amazed with changes in your life

health issues improved, or are gone

that's the main reason i had WLS

the fact that i look like a hot sexy grammy doesn't hurt!!

losing weight has been one of the highlights of my life

i can't imagine my life today or tomorrow as a "heavier"" person

life didn't start once i reached GOAL

life began the first day at GOAL

also called MAINTENANCE !!!

one of the few things i still can't do??

leap tall building

i still can not touch my tongue to my nose

rub my new tummy , pat my head clockwise

chew gum standing on one foot

but.... still working on it!!!

most anything else i can do LOL

i have good, better, and a couple of "not so good times!!

life can't be fixed as a "thinner" person

comes pretty darn close!!

i used to be 5"3' - now i am 6" tall!!!

i was turning 58 years OLD DOS

5 years later - almost 63 years YOUNG!!

i continue to work with my sleeve daily

bringing me health, happiness, and success

life is good

      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.
