WOW! Congratulations! So happy for you. I am pre-band and you are making me want to get out the measuring tape --- and, EEEK, the camera -- to do some documentation ahead of time. So exciting to hear news like this. Rock on!

Great feeling isn't it??? I just went in my closet and cleaned out all of my 20 or more 1x, 2x, and even 3x's. Honestly, I was a little scared to let them go...but, I have started buying 14 or 16 pants and love that they make me look so much better!! I WISH I had taken some good before pictures and data. I don't have anything except a couple of pics. So good for you!!

Wonderful job on the weight loss!!!! I know how proud of yourself you must be!

I never took pre band measurements I didn't think of it until 2 months after. So get out the tape. I try to take them every month around the 6th but because I ate more than I should have I have not done it since June.

Absolutely take measurements before and some pictures. I didnt do it til 2 months after surgery when I went back to my trainer.

I wish I would of done it before but csnt change that. :)

The feeling of seeing the numbers is wonderful! I have been getting rid of clothes along the way and receiving a lot of compliments but seeing the number was the best for me and gave me the motivation to see my hard work is paying off. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
