robin,........thanks for writing i'm so excited i can't hardly stand it. march 21 is just around the corner, can't come soon enough for me. dr. webber in detroit mi. is doing my surgery. i live in south dakota and they have a six month waiting period here. so, i'm going to detroit. i haven't told too many people about this surgery, because they will all think i'm nuts. nobody thin knows how we feel about our weight problems. so i just dont say anything to anyone. when they start seeing me lose weight them maybe i'll tell them. some people u tell just don't get it. you have done very well with your weight lost and good luck to you too. i'm sure we will see each other online from time to time. keep in touch..........sue

Sue from Yankton,

I would like to hear how things are going for you. I am from a small town close to Yankton and didn't want to tell a lot of people about my decision to have the lap band surgery. Are you going to any support groups?

skminnie.......oh where are u from? I'm doing just great and feel really good. No I'm not going to any support groups because Sioux Falls is just to far to drive. Idon't think there is one around here anywhere. I'm still on full liquids, but never hungry anyways. I drink alot of liquids and that seems to be enough for me right now. I've lost 20 lbs already and it sure makes a difference I can't believe it. How are you doing? I hope good. HEY. lets keep in touch and we can be our own support group.........Heres my e-mail address.......s.klemp1949@hotmail.com..........thanks for caring....sue

I am from Springfield and I was considering going to a support group in Mitchell. THis just isn't something that you can talk to your friends about. I doubt that many of mine would understand. I am 6 days post surgery and feeling stronger everyday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
