I saw a gal (super cute and thin) who I have always really liked and we live in the same small town, but never see each other. We chatted briefly last night while lugging our kids thru town trick or treating.....today she called me and said "I couldn't fall all over you in the street but you look amazing!". So nice that she took the time to call to say congrats! Made my whole day.

So, that got me thinking--I have never posted pix of myself on the board, so here is a brief pictorial before and after (but not to goal yet!)

this is summer 2004(pre band)--with my mom and my sweet boy, Denny:

This pix is December 2004--4 months after banding (I bought the matching Hanna Andersson skirt to match my DH and DS, but I couldn't get my left thigh in it, much less wear it--totally delusional!):

This is recent-Sept 14th with my little boy again! :) No sleep, no makeup and just after my brother's funeral. Sooo tired, but I like this photo. It's very real to me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
