Hey everyone!!

So I just joined because the psychologist I just met with, who was awesome, mentioned this site. where has the summer gone? umm I had two appointments today.. the morning one went well everything is good... the afternoon one was the psychologist appointment. To be perfectly honest I was nervous to meet with him, and I have no idea why? But it went very well!

I'm set for the surg. I started my liquid diet on August 1st. From August 1st to my surgery is liquid phase. ( I have my pre - op and meeting the anesthesiologist on August 5th) August 11th at 8am I have to be at the hospital. My surgery is at 10 am. Then I'll spend the day/night in the hospital. On Aug 12th in the am, I can leave, woot woot! After that its 2 weeks of more liquids. I have an apt on Aug 25th with the doctor for my follow up. After that its two weeks of puree.

I think that I've been ready for the surgery for a long time. I have had trouble losing weight, I have tried dieting, and i want to have a normal life. I want to fall in love, I want to figure skate again, get back out on the ice and do what I was born to do. Wear normal sized clothing. Not hide my emotions which I have been doing for years, and I'm done. It's time to kick this problem in the butt for once and all. I'm ready to change my life, work hard, and see a positive outcome! : )

You sound like you are super motivated. I'm so glad for you because you will most likely see your weight drop off faster with that kind of motivation.

I too was/am super motivated. I'm now and exercising fool. I just made up my mind that I was going to be active and enjoy it if it kills me (which it wont) and I will succeed and so will you with that attitude.

I'm really happy for you. Please keep me updated on your progress.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
