New before/after pics...



Recommended Posts

Well, I decided to do a recent before/after pic here; my friends have fussed at me long enough. I am still only with just right at 140 pounds loss and have been living on a plateau for what seems like forever (3 months) with me gaining and losing the same 5 pounds forever now, but my friend encouraged me saying pull out pictures and see how far you have come, and yes, I am thankful for that but I don't like getting "stuck" and not losing!! I am very discouraged and needed to see me as I was then and now. Hopefully I can get to losing again soon, wish me luck. Thanks for looking.

I think your name should now be Ethel! Not big ethel - you've lost the right for that title! You look marvolous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your journey, stop a take a breathe you deserve to have a moment of glory for yourself. The platuea will end on it's own sweet time.

Be happy and healthy!

Love, Debby

You are beautiful! What a difference! You have done an amazing job with your band. I sometimes think our body has to rest to keep up with all we lost. It has been very slow for me the last few months, but I can see a big difference in the inches lost even though the scale goes very slow. Have you checked to see if your measurements have changed during this time? Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
