Tiff, you look awesome... I got sleeved last tuesday. the worst part was the nausea.. I haven't even had to take any pain meds.. I got home from the hospital at 8pm and at 4:30 in the morning I got that dreaded call that no one should ever get... My younger brother passed away suddenly.. I am so worried about getting thru this along with following the rules of post op correctly... Yesterday, I only had one Protein shake because I have so upset.. I don't want to sabatage my recovery after all that I have been thru to get this surgery.. Wish me luck... Right now my mind is all over the place,,, thanks for listening...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Please take care of yourself. I know it's difficult in the wake of devastating news, but you can not endanger yourself during this time. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. Do not give up, keep sipping your fluids, and rest when needed.

I'm sorry for your loss, there is never a good time for tragedy but to compound it with your own physical and emotional needs at this time - I hope you have a solid support network there for you, you know we are here for you too!!

There's not many things that make me happy in that giddy school girl way, but finding hot clothes that are trendy, fun, and fit fabulously makes me so damn happy. I know it seems so trivial to some, but believe me, NOTHING feels this good. The sweater is a medium, but it's the smallest they had. It's super big in the arms so no my arms are not that flabby.

I never would have thought that at 34 yrs old that I'd feel this amazing mentally, physically and emotionally. Yes, I have my down days, but I no longer feel like the "fat girl". I see "Tiffany" when I look at myself. And, I never imagined wearing 4inch heels comfortably.

Tiff! You look so rockin' girl! LOVE the stripes - another thing we were forbidden to do before, right?! You know what else would also bring the sass to this outfit? a wide black leather sash belt, worn high. I think it would give a cool shape and you are so tiny you could wear a belt over a sweater, imagine that! =)

You look great as usual. I love the new hair style and sweater dress. They both make you look bold and sassy.

Thanks for sharing and keeping everyone motivated!!

Thanks chickee ! ! !

I'm still a belt-a-phobe LOL. . . I avoided them at all costs when I was fat, and now I can't wrap my head around wearing one. I've tried them on, and I think this is the only part of my brain that has not caught up with my body. I still see a huge wine barrel cinched in the middle when I wear a belt.

It's cute in theory, but my brain won't allow me to wear one confidently.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
