Recommended Posts

Since my pre op diet, I've almost lost an automobile tire. Though from my highest weight ever, I've lost the worlds largest ball of tape. Though, since I have lost and gained a bit probably more than that...lol

I love this, I called my mom today and told her I had lost a mid size microwave with a dozen krispy kreme donuts inside and of course she didn't get it right off and told me no, that I had lost my mind. LOL This is the neatest way to really put into perspective what we have lost. I can't imagine how I walked around holding a microwave all day. I can't wait til I've lost a 2 month old horse. Thanks for putting this on the board.

I LOVE THE THREAD. OMG! 111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year and prior to that a small horse? Really I carried around a horse. Know wonder my knees use to hurt! LOL

They should put a sticky on this one. Hilarious but so very motivating when you look at weight like this. Sometimes we can be all about numbers. Great spin on it!

I'm between a gold brick and the worlds largest ball of tape. Although, if I'm being honest, I'd take that gold brick right back, lmao, if it was real.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
