Well, it finally happened...the number I've been hoping to see for a very long time.

I stepped on the scale this morning to see the most amazing sight-my weight no longer starts with a "2".

I stepped on the scale, I stepped off, I stepped on, I stepped off-wait, maybe the scale is being blocked by the rug or something, I stepped on again, I stepped off-wait, maybe the battery is dead or something, I stepped back on one more time (just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or something) and sure enough, the number was still the same! I came downstairs with tears in my eyes to share the news with my husband who has stood strong by me through my WLS journey.

This has been a very slow journey for me with a few detours along the way and I have worked very hard for each and every pound. My three year bandiversary is approaching and I've been working really hard because I wanted to hit my goal of coming off the "obese" category in the height and weight chart.

I'm 2.5 pounds away and I have about three weeks left.

I am not the same person I was when I started my journey. I am a person who exercises. I am a person who speaks her mind-not trying to stay in the background anymore. I am a person who logs her food-honestly and completely. When I look at what this body of mine is capable of doing now versus 3 years ago, I am a very proud woman...

Just had to share today.

Oh I remember the day well... Congrats dear on such a huge accomplishment. I like how you are looking for lots of goals (ie bmi goals etc) and not just scale numbers. It just makes the whole process a continual reward system. Keep up the great work :) hi 5

Thank you for reminding us that the process can be a slow one....but with mindfulness and keeping our eye on the prize...it can be done! I love this post and I too have been in "Onderland" for several weeks now. It's almost unbelievable for me....but I plan on staying there.....not creeping back again! Congrats!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
