Recommended Posts

...and I have a very high tolerence for pain! lol...he had some trouble finding it,but he kept hitting a nerve in my back. He finally got it though! He said from what it sounds like,that i'm in my green zone. Mind you this is my first fill,but he had about 3 cc's in there (from what i could tell holding the needle while he searched for a paper cup for me) from my surgery. So hopefully this will top me off and i can start loosing agian!

I had the same problem, I had fatty deposits around my port so he stuck me 3 times before finding the port. I already had 1cc in there and he filled it with .8cc's and my 2nd fill is next friday, so excited about that, though the deposits are gone so my prot is prominent now. It's great when that slump finally goes away, So good luck!!!!! and congrats!

      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.
