maryfromflorida 5 Posted August 30, 2014 I Am new to this forum. I had gastric sleeve surgery on February 25th of this year. I feel that I have been successful so far. To date, I have lost 85!lbs and have 45 more to reach my goal. In addition to my new nutritional plan, I exercise on the elliptical for an hour 5-7 days a week. I have read a lot of the posts on here and find it so interesting to read about all of your journeys. Having this procedure saved my life, literally. There are weeks were I "stall" too, but then I start losing again. I am looking forward to read more on your journeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lab lover 4 Posted September 3, 2014 Great story Mary! That's the incentive I need I'm scheduled for September 10th and I'm starting to get nervous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryfromflorida 5 Posted September 4, 2014 First off I have two labs a black and a yellow. They are by far my favorite breed. You will do good. It's a very exciting journey, although I had a slow start in the beginning. After I had my surgery, I figured it was time to catch up on some of my other routine health exams. I went to the dermatologist where they found skin cancer above my heart where they had to do a pretty extensive surgery to cut it out. I was unable to exercise during this time, and then the incision got an infection. So for the first two months I really couldn't exercise. The PA seemed concerned that I couldn't at least get 30 mins in a day, but I had to take care of this issue. But once I was healed from that, I got into the gym and tore it up. In 6 months I've lost 87 lbs and I'm only 43 more lbs to my goal. I would love to follow you on your journey. Don't be scared. Get excited. You can do this!
