Thanks Sarah, you'll be there so quick you wont even know, if someone told me in 7 months I'd be there I'd never believe them, but its true :D

Thanks guys :D There are times when I thought I never would get there, been hard work, but all worth it, I still look in the mirror and see myself as I was before, only in photos do I see what I look like now, thats abit strange I guess seeing yourself for so long as I was has warped my vision somewhat. Thats why I did the one leg pic, also that and my nephews thought it would be hilarious cos its like "the biggest loser" :)

@coops Im not sure what is the best thing, as there are so many, I actually can enjoy food now without over doing it, I dont feel like I am a slave to it, i eat to live not live to eat, I like going into stores and buying the same size as most other people, not being as shy when meeting new people, sitting where I want without fear that I wont fit or the chair may not be sturdy enough, also just having more energy to do things are the best things about getting to my goal.

I love this board, great to see everyone from pre sleeve to goal weights and beyond, just reading what people say, their obstacles makes you feel not alone, nor are you going crazy, im def stick around :D If I can do it, anyone can and I cant wait to be there at the finish line for all of you! xoxo

      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? 🤷‍♀️
