Is two years your timeline to reach goal? I'm hoping to get into onderland by the end of the year (I'm 320 now).

I hope not!! I'm 5'2" @ 300lbs. I'm guestimating, if surgery goes as planned on May 25th, I anticipate a loss of at least 50lbs by birthday (Sep 11).

I am sick.of this weight!!

I suppose 5 lbs a week through the end of the year for me is a stretch goal, but I hope to be 210 by my birthday on December 19th. I'm tall at 5'9".

Good for you!

I've considered surgery on and off for years, and I think I resisted in the past because I wasn't ready for the lifetime changes. My journey here was rather quick. My grandma passed away this summer and she struggled with her weight all her life. She actually reached goal right before she died of a stroke. Recently, my grandpa had a dream where she told him to give me the money for surgery, and he extended the generous offer. I feel like my weight loss will be in honor of her memory.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
