Hi Ladies. Thanks for the love. I'm going to try to post a blog entry today about my experience so check it out. All in all, the surgery part was fantastic. Would do it again, all my fears going in were quickly allayed by the anesthesiologist. I was supposed to have the single incision surgery, but it ended up that I had a hietal hernia so they ended up doing five incisions. I'm actually okay with that....with all my stretch marks I never planned on wearing a bikini anyway! But I am in a lot of pain. Gas pain in my stomach and my left shoulder and chest. Deep breathing is very hard. I have no regrets, I know that the pain will go away quickly, would do it all over again.

Jacqui - the staff there is amazing. They make you feel so comfortable. I'll post my whole surgery story on the blog so that you can know what to expect.

Thanks again for all of the support ladies. Your turn!!

p.s. I was 263 yesterday morning and 268 last night....5 pounds of gas, no wonder I hurt!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
