I weighed 333 lbs at my highest (known) weight in 2005. When I began my liquid pre-op diet in Feb, 2013, I weighed 270, and day of surgery was 258. Today I weighed in at 239.5!

The before picture shown here was from about 18 months ago when I weighed about 295 (I have no full-body pictures from my heaviest weight as I avoided cameras at all costs). I remember the moment the picture was taken, and I soooo did not want to be in front of the camera! It's hard to even look at the before picture because I'm ashamed that I ever allowed myself to get in that condition...but I'm thrilled with the work I have done to get to where I am today. It has been work, truly...not just physical work but especially EMOTIONAL work. It's amazing to me how when I became emotionally healthy, the physical health followed!

Since having the lap band surgery, I feel better than I have in years! I sleep so soundly, and I wake up feeling rested! My blood sugar levels are coming down! down! down! Looking forward to the next 60 lbs melting away!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
