I have yet to get a response on here & to be honest I'm not sure I'm posting/messaging correctly. Is this app still active?

I felt the same way!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. I just don't post as much. Regardless of what forum your in, if you ask a question or comment you should get some sort of response. This is SOCIAL media....Right???! So now I'm more of a lurker[emoji102][emoji102][emoji102][emoji102].

I am here. I have no date yet, but was told yesterday that I most likely will be scheduled in August pending completion of the program and approval from insurance. I have to lose 3% to be eligible and go to monthly nutrition classes and a couple of surgeon meetings. I finally feel like I will have the missing tool to be able to lose this weight.

Did you have to take a mental eval? I am not required but I think I want one any way.

Yes, we have to have a behavioral health evaluation as well as a sleep apnea screening which I found out today I failed. this means I have to maintain a strict compliance with a cpap before being allowed surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
