Goal Weight is 65kg

Surgeon is Dr Kevin Dolan

looking forward to it, problee change my mind on day of surgery ahahahaha....its taken 20 yrs of bad eating habits to get to this weight....i had a medical scare at beginning of year and that is wot has spurred me on to lose weight and found this site and one in australia that is fantastic for comments and information.

i have told all family ( surprisingly my mum took it extremely well) most of my work mates know and it is good as we are all trying to lose weight and spur each other one etc...added bonus a gym has just opened across the road from work so we is all gonna head over there after work a couple times a week...and im very lucky as i have a special friend ( i call her my guardian angel) and she is going to look after my little boy while im in hospital ( he only 2 and a cutie if i say so myself haahahaha) and im sure she will make sure i dont over do it when i come out tooo haahahah...mind you she also got a hubby and 6 kids herself to look after....bless her cotton sox.....

September 9th for me!!! Hi to all........

The surgery went smooth and if it wasn't for the shoulder pain it would have been pain free. The stomach was muscle sore but the shoulder pain was non-stop irritating for me.... prepare for a week of that crap and you'll be fine :-)

I agree about the energy level in the hospital. Luckily I had a nurse that came in and visited me all through the night. We watched funniest animals at about 4 am right after she gave me a suppository LOLOLOL How fast we can bond with people under vulnerable morphine filled times.

I went last Tuesday to Dr. Joya, surgery went fine. I thought the pain med was lousy, not much more than ibuprofen. My shoulder was the worst part, still is, but it is going away. Took me a few days to sleep on my side, now I'm feeling good, but hungry! I went and got a massage on Monday my shoulder hurt so bad. It helped for a few hours, but was still worth it. Karen

      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? 🤷‍♀️
