Last year I was diagnosed with mixed hyperlipidemia .Got my labs back for 7 months post op . Cholesterol dropped 48 points and I have no sign of hyperlipidemia! All my labs were normal.

I've always wanted to take a surfing lesson in Hawaii. I've now been twice, 10 years ago when I was 6 months pregnant (and too fat anyway), and in 2018 at my high weight at 393. I plan to go again someday and I WILL take my surfing lesson. I'll most likely fail miserably at it, but it's still something I want to try! Sent from my moto g(6) using BariatricPal mobile app

Hang in there, it will get better ♥️

I felt that way for the first week after surgery. The first month I spent forcing myself to drink water and my protein shake because I had absolutely no desire to eat or drink. The gas pain does get better. I’m 6 weeks post op and am able to eat and drink (separately, 30 minutes apart). I’m on fork tender foods now, and I still get the post op blues when some foods sit very heavy in my pouch. But it’s a learning process that doesn’t come overnight. You’re re-learning your body again and that takes patience and time. Give yourself a break and try to get as much water and protein in as you can.

Yes but it will take a lot of work on your behalf now that you are close to a healthy BMI. Essentially you need to be counting calories and monitoring macros. Work out our calories for weight loss given your gender, height, current weight and activity levels (use a calorie counting website if you aren't already), set your profile for weight loss, use the daily allowance given, weight and measure very thing that goes pass your lips and track your calories. Bear in mind that some of the weight you want to lose is likely skin weight as your body fat percentage may already be in the healthy weight range. As you get closer to the healthy weight range weight loss is lower and slower.

I've always wanted : To go horseback riding To not worry about weight limits To eat in public without feeling like I'm being judged To shop in any store for clothes To fit comfortably in a booth

First off congratulations on that weight loss! 🙌🏻👏🏻 That’s amazing! But the struggle is real no doubt! I don’t want to go back to my highest ( which Ik I never will) but I don’t like where I am now, I’m a stinking snacker at night and that’s my downfall. I gotta make it a point to have something healthy on hand or I’m done! #notgivingup

OMG OMG, now YOU get out of MY brain! I loooove to sing (just try to get the mic out of my hands at karaoke, i DARE you). Like most however, my voice is not something one would pay money to hear...but what I lack in talent, I make up for in enthusiasm. OK. So now we gotta go source some contractors to build a house on the beach with a recording studio where we can start a band and take turns being the lead singer and back up dancer! The only thing I need to decide is if I wanna be an awesome pianist or an awesome guitar player (electric AND acoustic, mind you.)...oh wait, I could take up the drums too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used my kid's sippy cup for the first 10 days. Worked great. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
