Hello ladies...I know its been a looooong time. It has been really busy! Works picking up and has home!

Update: Since surgery 12/10 I've lost 26 pounds gained 2....I can't break past the number I'm sitting at. It's funny I seem to be losing weight in 5 pound increments! I'm sitting at 260. I was thinking of doing liquids for a week to kind of jump start things...but we'll see. I've picked up my exercising again. cardio and strength training. I'm just trying to get used to things. Eating a totally new way after 30+ yrs is not an overnight thing...but I'm getting there.

So how is everyone? Mandy? Sonia? When is the next lunch....love to join you guys....

I am using Dr. Lutfi at Mercy hospital in Chicago. They are slower than all get out, but they are taking care of all of the paperwork. Has anyone had experience with him? My surgery is 4/8

My sister just moved to lindenhurst, and I would love to meet people too! Count me in!

Yes! I am 4 days post op with Dr. Lupti and Rossette. Dr. Rosette did my surgery. I am a little uncomfortable but the surgery went well. I love the process there and I will be at group at 6:00 tomarrow. My name is Ms. Tammie. Will You be there?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
