hey everyone! I just wanted you to know my health is getting better for the first time in a while! im now 9 months post ops fluctuating between 205 and 207. I was 358 before hand, surgery weight was 316. I lost 109 pounds since surgery. I have no kidney stones for now, my ulcer is still here but not hurting nearly as bad and as often and all in all just living life. I've been so active these last couple weeks. I hate gyms so I find activities (people would consider chores, but I don't mind) that I can do. I got a sun burn on top of my sunburn, and sunburned that too hahaha. I washed my car removed my seats in the car, cleaned the carpets in the car, cleaned and washed the garage, cleaned my trash cans, cleaned and rinsed/bugsprayed my shed, cleaned the house intensly, steam cleaned, mowed my neighbors and I yard with weed whacking, sprayed down the house (spider webs), laundry, 6 (small) bike rides, played raquetteball once and just been trying to active since I've been feeling better.

That's a great way of being active without going to the gym (I hate going to the gym)! Glad you are feeling better!

Hey girl, great to see you back. I am so happy to hear your feeling a little better, you had a bad run for a while.

Looks like you have been very busy!! I have been hitting the gym, I think though its to avoid ALL those things I should be doing at home, like cleaning lol!

Keep well,

Annette 😄

Glad to hear you are feeling better. You are doing great on your weight loss too. Do you want to move near me so you can clean my truck for me? Congrats on putting your newfound energy to good use!

Great to hear that you are feeling better and that you are so active - we are close to same surgery date - I'm 3 weeks behind you. Congrats on your weight loss.
