Hi!

I just recently started my "permanent" weight loss journey. Here's some info on me:

I've done the psych evaluation and met with the dietitian. I'm scheduled for my first surgery class next week.

I see Dr. Nagle at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for my second visit on 8/10/05. All of my information should be sent to the insurance company right after.

I'm presently 248 lbs. I want to get to 150ish.

Employed Full-Time

Full-Time College Student (3.8 GPA Yipee!)

Wonderful husband and three year old.

Great parents who have helped out soooo much!

Good luck with your "red tape" stage. The surgery will be here before you know it!

Full-time college, full-time job, full-time 3-year old? When will you find time for surgery?! :-)

Hello!

Met with Dr. Nagle today (great guy) and we decided that I'm going to do the gastric bypass. I'm a little squeamish about having a foreign body in my system. :sick

Guess it's time to go back to obesityhelp.com. It was a blast!

Zaksmom, if you change your mind again, stop on by. You can still stop by even if you go for the RNY. We don't discriminate! Whatever you choose, good luck from another Chicagoan.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
