Hi there.....

Let's see.....

I now fit into XL shirts! No more plus sized shirts for me......

and I no longer fit into the plus sized underwear LOL

and I wore a non-plus size 18 pair of pants.......

I do not know what I am going to do when I can shop anywhere and have a good selection.

Hey Jackie!! That is such great news!! Way to go!! You must feel amazing! I am hoping to be in your shoes one day!

You know, I still have yet to go into a store to try on clothes. I have been doing online clothes shopping for a long time, as to avoid dealing with stores, and other people while trying on clothes. Maybe I'll set a goal for myself to get into the stores by the end of the summer in time for fall clothes shopping!

Keep up the great work!

I have decided the flabby skin on my upper arms could be a lethal weapon. If I flap my arms hard enough, I can get them suckers moving enough to really harm someone!!! B)

congratulations!!! just be careful... i'm now addicted to shopping! i now fit into size small tops and the thought crossed my mind... what happens if i lose more weight? if i'm in a small now how will i find anything that fits right?? such a dramatic difference to once trying to just find jeans big enough to fit over my hips!

ohhh the bat wings! i've been lucky... i don't have any saggy skin except for my arms! ugh... i pull the skin back and look to see what my arms would look like after a bit of Lipo but i doubt i'll ever be able to afford that since my surgery was selp pay!

Great job to all of you in losing the weight, getting healthy and keeping a sense of humor throughout! These kinds of posts give me hope about this process. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
