Hey there I’m 18 months out, and I am feeling blah , self conscious about my body. Being intimate with my partner is a challenge for me to participate in. He is a bit heavier then me and over the last 4 years embraced his dad bod . Well I focus on what I can change taking my Vitamins daily and staying active , trying new things , I went back to school. Before the surgery I would never have thought of going back to school. I’m sorry excited , life is precious and shouldn’t be wasted. I hang onto my routine when I do anything protien shake in my coffee, having protien , keeping my carbs and sugar limited. I just get so bored. Any advice also I have lost so much of my bottom, that sitting has become painful and uncomfortable. Any wisdom thanks

Do you have a hobby? Maybe find some activities or something that interest you to keep you busy. For me riding my jetski, Video games and fishing are the things i do to keep me busy and not bored.

Check your Thyroid, I remember a time in my life I felt like that. Very apathetic of everything. At the time, I had everything I wanted, moved to Hawaii after a winning a custody battle. I had the best job, that pay me to travel all over the Pacific Islands. The beach was my playground. I was so apathetic. Little I know I had tyroid issues. I discovered after a routine check up with a naturopath. Once I started the treatment, I came back to life. Never underestimate how annoying the endocrine system can be. Still in Hawaii, enjoying the beach and my new weight, as I Celebrate my 1 year anniversary of surgery this month 70 pounds less.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
