You are such a graceful lady and one who I have always looked to on this board. I'm not a huge poster but I read almost everyday and I can truly say that you will be missed.

May The LORD bless you and keep you;

The LORD make His face shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace.

Leatha, please...please reconsider...the board won't be the same without your knowledge and grace. I am one of the lucky ones as well to have got to meet Ms. Leatha...and I now proudly wear some of her wonderful clothes. I am going to miss you much missy. <hugggs>

Leatha, I hope that you will consider staying. Perhaps the people who are making this site ugly will shut up and or leave. I rarely post on general threads and I hate to say it but I don't tell people to come here much anymore. It used to be a positive place for people in all stages.

I have enjoyed reading you comments and threads. You have been a huge help to me and I truly want to thankyou.

Thanks everyone. I sincerely appreciate the love. It's why I've been here since the 'doors' were open. ((((Darcy))) (((Becky))) I've missed you guys terribly. Thank you so much for bringing your presence here. I really hope you're both doing well.

Everyone is right. There is no reason for me to leave. It was a silly thought. I have remedied the situation.

I am so out of the loop here...I go to our local threads in NC and that is about where I stay now a days. I am sad you were leaving but happy you are staying. I haven't been here as long as you..heck I haven't even been here a year yet but I have seen a change just over the last month or two and that is why I don't venture out much. I have ready many of your post and even though we haven't met or spoke one on one your knowledge is "priceless" to me.

Thanks.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      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.
