JillinTexas reacted to KCgirl061 in This picture shocked me
I was posing all goofy for a friend and when she showed me the picture I was shocked! I knew everyone was TELLING me I was so skinny but this picture blows my mind! Its like my face was photoshopped on someone else's body! Look at those skinny legs!! 😱

Had gastric sleeve surgery 2/17/20. I’m down 33 lbs since surgery, lost 20 lbs before surgery so I’m pretty happy. I’ve been working from home since mid March and am finding that walking twice a day has been really good for my weight loss and mental health. I just found this forum and am finding a lot of good information and encouragement here.

JillinTexas reacted to Sandra Nuelken in I hit 100 pounds lost today!
It has been a journey, the last several months the hardest! The down 2 up 1 is driving me crazy after the dropping easier for the first 6 months. Now I struggle for 5 pounds a month. But today I'm going to sit back and enjoy the loss and feel very proud of myself. I never thought I'd be here a year ago. I was still trying to qualify for the surgery and gaining weight each day. Today is the start of my new me and new life. I can walk every day without knee pain and look forward to it too. For those of you thinking about it just do it. For those who think you are too old, I'm 73 and did it. Good luck to everyone out there and please stay healthy!

JillinTexas got a reaction from FinallyLosingIt20 in Did you keep surgery a secret? What did you tell people?
I only intended to tell my immediate family and a handful of close/trusted friends but some co-workers were able to guess and a few people have noticed the weight loss and asked and I told them. So I guess the cat is out of the bag and I’m OK with it. My surgery was 2/17/20 and I was only in the office for about a week before we were told to work from home. I am hoping when we are able to go back to the office my weight loss will be noticeable and that I get some positive feedback! That’s what is tough for me during this stay at home time.
