9 Months Later... Before and "After"



Recommended Posts

I very rarely post before and after pics, but I feel safer doing it here than I do anywhere else. Since I'm only 9 months out (I was sleeved 6-30-14), I consider myself to be a work in progress and not necessarily at my ultimate "after." I've lost 100 pounds, though, and I'm very happy where I am. I'd like to lose a bit more, but if I was told that I had to stay at exactly the weight I'm at now forever, I'd be blissfully happy. post-222900-14277506590204_thumb.jpg post-222900-14277506749304_thumb.jpg

Wow, thank you all soooo much. More than anything else, I FEEL amazing, like an entirely different person. I have so much energy, and I feel so much healthier. This surgery has exceeded my wildest expectations, and I truly feel that it's the best decision I've ever made for myself.

U look amazing I wish I will look that good at 9 months post lol! I have too much to lose to get there that quickly! Be proud U have done amazing

Thank you! It really doesn't matter how quickly you get there, slow and steady wins the race. I've been feeling great since day 1, and every day after. Just knowing that you're heading in the right direction feels awesome! I know that people get caught up in the numbers, but one of my most monumental victories happened at 3 weeks out, when my husband could finally sleep with me again because I wasn't snoring loudly enough to wake the dead! I hadn't lost that much at that point, but my health and quality of life (sleep apnea) was already improving dramatically.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
