Hello Everyone!

I am 25 years old, I was banded on April 1st, 2008 and I have lost 80 pounds. My weight lost is slowing down so I thought talking about my issues and problems and getting support online could help!

I am a 4th Grade teacher and I am also in Grad school at Univ. of Florida. I love school, teaching and learning! It is the best.

I also have a part time job at Chuck E Cheese's. I have worked there over 9 years!!! I enjoy working there- it is a lot of fun!

My favorite thing to do is play softball! I also enjoy spending time with the fam.

That is all for now, I am also blogging- check out my first blog:)

Thank you all!

I couldnt tell you why or how I have done so well... It seems like it was just yesterday when I got banded and didnt feel like eating bc of the gas pains...

I ate very little and drank a lot of Water... other than that I dont know:)

Thanks for asking!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
