This time last year, I was absolutely miserable :-( It was summertime & I was feeling SO fat, especially when it came to a bathing suit. A size 14 was really, really tight on me. I'm 2.5 months post-op now & wore a size 10 this week :-D It is the little things in life now that make me smile & I realize I CAN DO THIS!!!

I am seeing all my summer clothes of last year don't fit at all. I have tried some on and it looks like I am wearing some else's clothes. It is great losing 70 lbs will do that. I do have to admit I am sad the cute clothes I can wear but baggy clothes aren't my look anymore. I have buy a few new clothes but not too many because I am going to be losing more and not staying at this size. The other difference is I notice I hold my head up higher and I am glad to be noticed nit to just blend in. I am loving my journey! Thank you lap band.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
