too bad, but also good! yay for fills! I could tell that I needed my 2nd before because my 1st one didn't make any difference at all. But now I'm wondering how I can tell when I need another one. I am gradually being able to eat more and more...I don't want to gain weight or wait too long on a plateau...how do I decide?

My doctor's protocol: As long as I'm losing betw/ 1-2 a wk, I'm good and don't need a fill.

Well he didn't give me a fill. My weight was exactly the same as it was the last time I saw him. It was good that I didn't gain anything but I didn't loose anything either. I need to cut out the carbs bread, ice cream, chips etc. and I need to exercise. Walking is good, I just need to do it. I was down when I left his office but I have to go through that first. Now I'm ok and will get back on track.

you can do it, you are stronger than me, that's for sure

it's hard when you are the same weight for awhile, I have definitely been there, and I did get really down, but it turned around for me, and it will for you, too

Christine you know I will go. I recommend my doctor and facility to absolutely everyone. They are awesome and have their stuff together. I'm ready, call connie because you can have someone to sit in on your consult. My sister went with me the first time and then my buddy Linda went after that.

I enjoyed myself and I would not say the service was horrible, it just could have been better. For you guys that already left, the waitress came out and told me that the check was short $10. I told her I put my in and stepped out front. I waited for the manager to come out but he didn't. She thought she was going to get the full tip. NOOOO. Maybe she will make herself available to the customers during the meal and not just at the end.

I won't say anynames but C and L what did you guys do to Carrie? She should have taken pictures of your guys acting up in the store.

I see we are going to have a MD LBT Social Group seperate from the MD LBT Support Meetings.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
