I Can't Believe It



Recommended Posts

I just got back from my 6 day post-op visit. I've lost 13.5 pounds!!! :thumbup:

My surgeon said my weight loss was "stellar".

I know I'm only on liquids but what a BOOST!!! I just can't believe it!!! :thumbup:

Zannie,

I was also banded by Dr. T. He's such a cutey.

When I told my husband about my weight loss, he said he would have to give me a new name. I asked him what would it be since he now calls me "Sweety".

My new name is now "Sweety Petitee"! I thought that was so cute and the fact that he thought it up instantly is just amazing LOL :thumbup:

I just love everyone at WLSC of HR -- especially Susie & Dr. T! He really gives it to you straight, but I've never felt judged at all for being super morbidly obese. There are a few other Bandsters from WLSC (probably more than few) who I've met here at LBT, too. Are you coming to the Support Group meeting tonight at 6:30 (it's down at the Careplex)? I hope to see you there!

Suzanne,

I was at the meeting. I saw you but was too chicken to say anything. I was sitting in the front row in the pink sweater. :embaressed_smile:

Ha! I wondered if that was you -- 2 rows directly in front of me! :cheers2: There are so many new faces now that the support group follows the nutrition class... You should have said hello! Next time... :smile: Actually, I probably won't be AT the fashion show one...my parents sit the kiddies for me to go to support group since my husband works Thurs nights & I feel guilty asking them to pull over-night duty for me to play play. But definitely introduce yourself!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
