You look great

Here is a recent side by side of my progress! I am feeling great. Still hate doing full body pictures :-/

Eggs are the only food my sleeve does not tolerate..

I am 5'2 and starting weight was about 245. I had my surgery on 02/09/18. I am pretty happy with my progress so far I am down to 168. My goal weight is 140. But I am thinking of changing it to a lower number!

Oh yes to much skin! I knew my stomach would be bad which it is. But I never thought I would have a problem with my thighs and arms. I had a pic taken of me in a tank top and I cringed!! I will still take this over what I had before!

You look great!!

I am struggling with depression and other mood changes. Pre-surgery I had some depression, anxiety, ptsd and other issues. I am still on the same meds but my mood swings have intensified. Sometimes I am just angry for no reason! I am hoping its just the hormones and things will calm down soon.

My scale has been hidden now also. I have decided to start weighing just once a month.

Okay so I have an engagement party and I need a dress. I don't usually wear dresses but I am going to attempt it. I always feel like a balloon. So what is the best dress style for a short and still chubby girl???

I’m from MN too! Where about a are you from? I am also in MN and hit the gym everyday would love workout buddies!! I am in Saint Paul.

I also have this issue. I needed new bras and was laughed out of Torrid when they measured me Torrid used to be me go to store. Victorias Secret though I do love there bras now and are currently having their semi annual sale! I have no clue where to shop for regular clothes without torrid in my life anymore.

The sleeve was so much easier! I was up and walking right away. And walking decent distances in about a week.

I was sleeved on 2/9. My highest weight was 245. Maybe 235 at time of surgery. I'm about 3 months out and today weighed in at 183. I am 5'2. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

So does anyone have any good sports bra recommendations? I have started working out alot and my regular VS bras are no longer cutting it. I of course can go to VS and get what they have but was kinda hoping for some other options. They have to be very supportive as I am a 38 DDD. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

So I have recently started working out with a bit more intensity. Before I was just doing cardio. So I have incorporated weight lifting into my routine as well now. So my main questions are since I am doing a lot more exercise do I need to increase my calories? Is that to much exercise at this point? Any other pointers would be great. My routine is 35 minutes on the elliptical, followed by about 20-30 minutes of weight training, followed by another 15 minutes on the elliptical I am eating between 600-800 calories a day. But usually closer to 600. My carbs stay under 20.

I got really bad with weighing myself everyday. Now I try to weigh myself only once a week. But to be honest it is usually twice a week.

Painted my toenails tonight with ease!

Well finally found out why I was completely exhausted all the time. My vitamins were lacking. So we added more iron (I am anemic) and more vitamin D to the mix. I feel alive again!!
