I had my husband take progress pics of me today, since it's 5 months out from when I had my "before" pictures taken one week before my surgery. I'm only down 39 pounds since my surgery on September 1, but I'm happy with my progress so far. I just started strength training, so hopefully I will start toning up some. You can see all the pictures in my gallery, but here are a couple for comparison:

Tuesday morning at 8am I check in for my sleeve surgery at OHSU in Portland Oregon. I was very nervous a week ago but now I'm just anxious to get it over with and begin the steps to a healthier life. I've lost about 25lbs so far and, everything being perfect, would like to lose another 110lbs.
Yesterday i went on a nice hike that was much steeper than I expected. I ended up climbing about 1600 feet and back on rain-soaked muddy trails, and now my muscles are really sore. But I don't think there is any chance I could have accomplished that even a couple months ago. I haven't had the surgery yet, and already I'm I'm living a healthier, happier life. Just thinking about how much more I have to explore a year from now just makes me excited to get a move on.

On the first day of pre-op my diet gave to me...
A promise of a new life sleeved!
On the second day of pre-op my diet gave to me...
Two massive headaches, and
A promise of a new life sleeved!
On the third day of pre-op my diet gave to me...
Three bouts of nausea,
Two massive headaches, and
A promise of a new life sleeved!
...more to come as the diet continues. Still motivated, just wanted to let off a little steam. :-)
If you have any to add, feel free!
