Yes I had my surgery on the 21st of August. In Montefiore so far I lost 20lbs the first week, I haven't weight myself after that. I don't own a scale and I don't really want to, because of the stress of seeing it and wanting to weight myself every day...the only reason I know I lost 20lbs is because I went to see my Dr.
I go again this week so I will know how much I've lost since.
I'm planning on joining planet fitness..I just don't want to go on my own but I have to do it.
How about you, did you have surgery yet? If not when?

I'm happy for you! How was this weeks been like? Almost 1 month surgeversary for you!! Did you join the gym? You need to start and later on you will love it. It happen to me, i hated going to the gym alone but I was like if I don't do it who is going to do it for me, no one so I got up one day and went and did that for like 6 months until I completely stop. Hopefully I am having surgery October or November the latest. I'm really hoping October though ;)

I am hoping for October but it seems like another thing is added to the list per specialist. I am getting a sleep study as per pulmonary which I was told in the beginning I didn't need it and now I do..... SMH And I asked in the beginning if it was part of my requirement was told everyone is different and no I did have to get one done. Would have had that done a long time ago. Last two appointments are my Pre-op from my medical provider and Nutritionist both the same day Oct 4th and I'm done God willing. I will be going to get surgery done at Mount Sinai @ St. Lukes. I was suppose to go to Montefiore but my first appointment would have been in October and would have to wait a long time for the surgery. TBH I just want to have surgery this year not next year because I want to start School in January.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
