South AL/ South MS - Where are you?



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking around this site for weeks but not really posting. I am just curious as to why so few people from South Alabama and South Mississippi seem to be on this site. I live in Mobile County. I was banded on June 15th in Pascagaoula, MS. I sure would love to hear from y'all!!!! :(

I'm so glad to hear from you!! We southerners need to stay in touch! I was banded Dec. 31, 2009. I've only lost 25 lbs. i'm still trying to get my fill right. I live in McComb, Ms about 90 miles north of New Orleans. 18 miles from the La. line. My Dr. is in Gonzaales, La. (Dr. Drake Bellanger) I really like him, but he is taking too long to get my fills right, or maybe I'm just frustrated.:scared2: i can still eat too much!! Let me know how you had such great success!!:cheers2:

      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.
