I had to share with you all because I think you all would understand. Today I left that awful word obese behind. This morning my BMI is 29.8 and not 30 or greater. I am free from that word and I am never looking back. Thanks for listening.

I celebrated with 3 new shirts and a new pair of pants. I realized this week I had no long sleeve shirts that fit. One thing I've learned is to reward myself along the way, every 10 lbs and every big milestone like onederland and now this. I don't Celebrate with food but something to boost my esteem. Today I also checked out some stores I hadn't felt comfortable in only to realize they carried some bigger sizes then I wear now so I could have shopped there sooner.

Congratulations! Next time you see your doctor, I'd ask him/her to write "no longer obese" on yur chart just to make up for all the times "obese" was written on it!

I have always wanted a Pandora Bracelet (a real one) and could not justify the cost. I have decided to reward myself with the bracelet upon surgery and a new charm or bead for every 20 lbs. I figure all the $$$ we're saving on take out and junk food will more than cover my reward.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
