Love this thread! I'm six months post-op. Down 59 pounds, only lost 8 the last three months. Not happy with the numbers, and really really trying to not let the scale dictate my success. My goal is weight, size and a pair of jeans I've saved from the only time I ever felt truly in shape.

Anyone else have THAT article of clothing, outfit that was your thing?

I had jeans with tags still on them, and as I was loosing the weight I have gone past there sizes and now I have to give them away. Therefore I will have to start investing on some new jeans soon size 14(woo woo :rolleyes: ).

applebootom9, me too! I have a bag of stuff I ordered last year thinking they would be a "little" tight, I couldn't get them past my thighs. This year, tried on, daughter told me that they looked like a saggy diaper. Gotta love adult children!

I OBVIOUSLY didn't get the quote part right... Live and learn!

Yesterday was my birthday. What a change from last year! I spent most of the day with myself. Had my hair done, went shopping, light dinner and the movies. It felt really good to spend time with me, on me.

Looking at last year and this year, I really am, finally fit 50's! (Still working on getting more fit!)

I have waited for this day for a long time; it came really fast! I really do not Celebrate milestones to much other than the ones for my son.

I am determined to keep my weight off, I am determined not to cut my hair (it was touch and go for a minute) I was definitely determined not to buy any clothes until I was at my goal weight and got rid of all my heavy clothes.

My biggest struggle has been my Protein shakes.... Now that I have had the sleeve surgery the shakes so so sweet to me now but before it didn't. I have so much energy now that my 6yr old son has a hard time keeping up with me.

Hello everyone! I had my surgery 9/8. I am 37 years old. I went in surgery weighing 197 as of today. I weigh 175 and I'm loving my body. I just want to know how do you keep your rear end from vanishing?

@@Joannaharris77 I don't think you can. The best you can do is to strength train when you are able to keep the gluteus muscles in shape.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
